66% found the page layout useful, although 34% didn't
The book comes with a loose sheet that has lines on one side and a grid on the other, which can be placed below the page to guide.
I was happy with the dimensions of this notebook and the lay-flat page size, as I was looking for a specific page size.
The grid extends all the way down and across on both sides, except for the top half inch where the paper is blank.
The dot grid layout has changed and there is no margin on the side or top of the page, with a larger margin at the bottom than it should be.

66% liked the ink compatibility, but 34% noticed smudging
My favourite fountain pen ink well, Sailor Jentle Yamadori, is compatible with the notebook.
The journal has acid-free paper with high ink compatibility to reduce bleedthrough. The pens aren't bleeding through to the other side.
The pages are thin and even with a regular ball point pen, I can flip the page and see what I have written.
I bought the product due to its ink resistance, but upon writing in it, I found that some markers and pens will bleed through and ghost.
