Well-crafted but wish there was a hardcover option available too!

I absolutely love Cognitive Surplus journals, and this journal is no exception. The paper quality is some of the best I've ever written on- the paper is deliciously smooth and my pen glides easily across the pages. I also really adore the lined/blank paper combo- I wasn't initially sure how I would feel about the alternating blank pages, but I've truly grown to love having both kinds of page formats within the same journal.

My only complaint is that I *really* wish this journal also came in a hardcover option, as otherwise this is the perfect journal for me (well, to truly make it perfect I'd want a ribbon bookmark and an expandable pocket on the inside of the back cover as well, but hey... baby steps, right?).

If only there were a crossover created between the Abstract and the Analysis... that would be my dream journal.

Wonderful product!

Great product. Lovely colors and manufacturing. Shame the shipping is half the cost of the product. Reduce that and you have a customer for life.
