Ottergami B5 Large Art Notebook. Blank Journal. 180gsm Plain Paper Sketch Pad. Accessories Include Scribble Test Page, Elastic Enclosure, Pen Holder, Back Pocket & Stickers. The Botanical

I don’t often do reviews but really felt I had to with this one. I’ve been bullet journaling for 2 years now and so this will be my 3rd journal.This stands head and shoulders above any I’ve had before or looked at in shops. The size is perfect. Being slightly bigger than A5 it gives you that little bit more room to play with especially when doing the weekly spreads.The pages themselves being 180 gsm feel like a thin card and are incredibly smooth. Before I’ve always had to be extremely careful what pens I use due to them bleeding through and although I’ve not done my test page yet you can feel the quality and they don’t have that translucent appearance some journals have when separated and held against the light, so I can tell just by looking at them I’m going to be able to use a lot more mediums and have a lot of fun with this.The cover, apart from being gorgeously classy, is extremely sturdy and all the pages lie flat no matter where you are in the journal.It oozes quality and for the foreseeable future I will definitely not be using any other make.I am absolutely delighted with it and in my opinion it is well worth every penny of the couple extra pounds it costs.

I've bought several of the Ottergami dot grid journals now. The B5 is my favourite size. I've had the green and the tan colour. Both excellent, robust covers.The paper quality is high, my watercolour markers don't bleed through so excellent if you like to add flourishes to your journalling.The best thing though is the price. Although you can get cheaper Ottergami and the best value. If you were to find anything close to this quality you'd be looking at twice the price.The variety of sizes and colours is wide.Absolutely recommend.

A great journal with a lovely foil design on the front. The paper is thick and is great for any artist working with a range of mediums from watercolours to ink, alcohol pens to felt pens - doesn’t bleed through at all. The handy pocket at the back is useful for storing doodles, ephemera, stickers or stencils. The whole book is sturdy enough not to need a table and it also lies flat completely without having to hold it down. The book is bound by elastic which is great if you end up with chunky journals like me!Only downside - the cover material attracts every bit of dust, pet hair and debris going, so ends up looking dirty. However a damp cloth does resolve this!

Good quality paper (180gsm) and beautifully produced journal at a very reasonable price. I like the stickers that come with it. The only cons are i. no dedicated index page and ii. no page numbers, but I can live with that; could have done with a few more pages, too, for a journal intended to last me a full year, but if it does last out the year then I will be buying again.

I ordered this B5 180gsm notebook to use for water colouring journaling. Upon arrival it feels lovely and well made. I can't wait to try it out.

This book is amazing quality and I will be buying this again! I love how thick the pages are and it just feels nice to hold. It’s got a lovely design on the front and the pages are very nice to write on. I would highly suggest this to anyone who is looking for a bullet journal/book. At the back of the book, it’s got a pocket with 3 sheets of stickers on! The stickers are really lovely and are great to use!

This is a lovely journal. I've used fountain pens, felt pens, gel pens, watercolour pencils and watercolours and there's been no problem with any of them. The paper is smooth and a pleasure to write or draw on.The only even slightly negative comment I could make is that if you want it to stay looking lovely it's really something to keep on your desk and not to take out with you. The pale fabric cover shows every mark and being fabric you can't just wipe it off. On the other hand perhaps a journal should end up looking a little battered!

The media could not be loaded. Big and study. Good NOT VIBRANT WHITE paper( that was exactly what I was looking for!) , thick and not transparent. Two bookmarks! A pocket with some stickers ( hush and lite colors). Small hoop for pen( no pen in complect).Would really recommend! I enjoy it every time I pick it up to write smth

The media could not be loaded. This bullet journal is amazing. B5 is larger than your standard A5 bullet journal so planning spreads is a lot more fun with more room on the page. The pages are extremely thick, ringing in at 180 gsm which is 20 more than the best journals, and 60 more than your standard bullet journal. You can really see the difference. I use a sharpie fineliner in this journal with no bleeding or ghosting at all. I even used a thick sharpie marker and it only ghosted a little but couldn't fully bleed through. Each dot is precisely 5 mm apart so it makes for counting and measuring a breeze. The paper is a true white, not yellow at all and the hard cover binding is linen covered for a truly beautiful book. It comes with two ribbon bookmarks, a pen loop, and an elastic closure all in a tasteful accent color. The pocket in the back of the book is reinforced and holds everything from stickers to rulers. Not to mention the free stickers this journal comes with are actually cute. Writing and planning in this journal is the highlight of my day.

The media could not be loaded. Lays flat, the paper is high quality and very thick. I have not had any bleed through, including with a very dark water ink sketch I made with a fountain pen.I also have gotten the cover wet several times (whoops) and it has dried with practically no warping despite getting soaked. Noteably, the cover was thick enough and the cover inner lining protective enough that in these instances of the book getting wet the actual pages of the book managed to stay completely dry! Which is great news because with the type of paper this book is made of the ink mostly sits on top of the paper, meaning if it gets wet it washes right off.The only issue I have had is that the light pink cover gets visibly dirty easily. This doesn't bother me too much, but if it may bother you keep that in mind.

I love to journal especially bullet journal, when my favorite company was out of stock I decided to go with this and the paper is thicker, I love the design and the all around feel. It’s thick enough that you can use paint on it and I pretty much I love everything about it. It’s Just as good, dare I say better than archer and olive. It is a slight bit smaller on the width dimensions but aside from that it’s just as good. Will be ordering again. Thank you !

Storleken är jättebra. Precis vad jag önskade. Bladen är tjocka och tål vattenfärger, tombowpennor och stämplar utan att blöda igenom. Men prickarna sitter inte på samma ställe på sidorna. Så när man räknar och klipper/skär vid samma rad på flera sidor så blir det utskurna ojämnt. Prickarna är även för mörka och synliga så dagbokssidorna där man skriver blir röriga.Kommer inte att köpa en ottergami nästa gång!

Le carnet est superbe, avec une jolie couverture en tissus texturé. La qualité du papier est parfaite. Les stickers sont très mignons et le soufflet à la fin du carnet est très pratique. Une belle qualité.
