Journals

Start with the ruling, because it shapes what the book is for: lined for writing, dotted for anyone mixing notes and diagrams, plain for sketching. Then check the paper, since a journal used with fountain or gel ink needs heavier stock or every page shows through from behind. Hardcovers and elastic closures earn their keep in a bag. See notebooks, fountain pens and diaries.
