Wit & Delight Lined Journal Black Linen Note to Self

Great notebook for daily use.

I bought one of these a couple years ago and loved the paper but got frustrated that the pages were falling out because of the poor glue as the binding. I just bought another and I forgot about the poor binding and was really upset and about to see if I can return it. I went to go see if maybe I got a dud the last time and checked the binding and realized that they changed it. Pages are now sewn in and they have a little perforated edge that you can tear the pages out from. This makes me insanely happy because I love this journal so much. The paper is heavy quality. It is beautiful. I love the gold edges. I especially adore the ruled. It has to be like a 5 or 6 mm rule, definitely smaller than college rule. I do wish the lines didn't have the one red stripe going down vertically because I don't personally really use that. But it is so exciting to see a company listen to the reviews and make changes to their product. That makes me want to support this company forever

Okay so I have been buying these for years and have so many but always struggled with the pages falling out but they updated them so they DO NOT fall out they are sewn in and have tear marks so if you want to remove a page you can!! Love that they listened to the reviews!!

I absolutely love this journal. I hate when pages bleed through, but with this specific journal I have never had that issue, pages are thick, sturdy and very smooth! It always gives me a dopamine hit while writing. Definitely will buy more if this same journal. Also, I am surprised by so many negative reviews, because I have been using this journal for almost over 7 months now and I am absolutely positive its worth the money!

The binding is horrible. The pages are all falling out.

I am almost at the end of this journal and came to purchase another one. I was surprised to read reviews that stated the pages were falling out. That has not been my experience. This journal traveled everywhere with me for the past 8 months and has held up well. I love the thick, smooth pages, page mark and the elastic closure. I will definitely continue purchasing this specific journal. It's a great price and great quality.

Very pretty journal but the bidding is bad, barely reached 20 pages and pages are slowly coming loose from the spine. I've bought cheaper journals from target with higher quality construction

Pages constantly falling out of notebook

I bought this journal in 2022, and this thing has LASTED through multiple moves across the country. I haven’t experienced the pages falling out as other reviews have said, it’s honestly been pretty sturdy in my experience. There’s a little back pocket which I find very useful. I use this mostly for mental health because writing has always been a great outlet for me, and I like to keep sheets from therapy folded in the back pocket. it’s also cute and simple which I admire!

Good material and very elegant! Can’t wait to use it

I enjoyed writing in this journal a lot. I am almost near the end and have had zero problems with the construction of the journal. The pages are thick, smooth and feel luxurious when writing on them. I love a clean and smooth page to write on and the gold lining makes the journal even prettier.

Such a cute journal.. wish the pages wouldn’t fall out.

Usually love these journals but this one the pages keep falling out. So frustrating

Looks nice but pages started falling out after a couple weeks

Just finished filling this journal after writing in it here and there since 2021 - no pages ever fell out and plan to get a second one to start fresh! How intensely are y’all writing? 😅 Love the simple design and thick pages, not sure what everyone is talking about with pages falling out.

Pages tear out very easily.

Would give five stars, but after almost a year with it, pages do start to fall out.

I think I’m on my third time buying this exact journal??? The pages are thick, the cover is high-quality, and I have never had any issues at all. Favorite journal I’ve had.

Same issue that others had. Hardly started using this notebook and all the pages were falling out. The packaging also had a sticker that ripped the inside of the front cover off. Unusable.

The paper quality is fine. The cover is nice. The smaller lines are a nice thought. The pages will fall out if you breathe on them too hard. This is NOT meant to function as any kind of notebook/journal. My best guess is it's intended as some kind of overpriced to-do list style notepad for people who want others to think they're artsy and thoughtful when they're just writing their grocery list. Or maybe it's meant as a decorative piece for your desk. You might be fooled by the overall style of this product, thinking it will be good for journaling. It isn't. Don't waste your money. Anything you write will just tear loose, and the elastic band isn't tight enough to prevent the loose pages falling out the side. Wish I'd thought to read the online reviews before buying this in store, as I see everyone else had the same problem, but hopefully you will be smarter than I was. I am giving 3 stars for value, because the paper can still be used as scrap paper, if you haven't written on it before it falls out. But it would be a lot cheaper to buy regular lined paper and cut it to size. I have seen various desk decor items in this price range, so it's a reasonable price if that's your intended use for this product.
