## Description

The Traveler's Notebook is carefully crafted using fine leather and paper. By using it for a long time, the user's day is carved, the leather changes in flavor, making it an irreplaceable and valuable tool that cannot be expensive to users. A rustic cowhide leather cover made by Chiang Mai, Thailand, and is made with original writing paper that is focused on ease of writing, and a solid notebook refill made with care in Japan. You can use it as is, but you can also set the zipper case or pen holder (sold separately) to increase storage space, or use the connecting band to add a notebook refill for more use. Simple construction allows you to easily attach charms or beads to an elastic band or bookmark cord. In addition, it is also recommended to use your favorite sticker or posted stamp on the cover of the notebook refill. By customizing it to your own, the leather texture will become more comfortable to write with it, and the texture of the leather that becomes more tasteful for a long time.

Review: So proud to own it! And I love this colour! - I loooove it so much. I can’t express how beautifully it has been designed. It’s so simple, but the concept is just amazing, and it’s like what I’ve been looking for in a book/journal/diary for so long. I know it’s just a simple leather cover, but I think the minimalist design, especially using the real leather with the minimalist colours, really add to the aesthetic. And the simple stationery that goes along with the journal, like the different kinds of notebooks, the card folders, and organisation folders of sorts is so impressive. I love that idea. Also, I know this can probably be done with any other kind of notebook/cover but this just draws a different kind of attention. Lol. I also want to assure that although I haven’t used it for long enough to actually give an updated review, so far, it has been holding up super well and longs very durable and long-lasting. To be honest, I’ve only use the normal-sized one and not the passport size yet, but I could say the same review for both. If you’re thinking about it, just go ahead! Just invest in this one rather than the other cheaper copies. You would be able to use this one for years.
Review: I think I am the first one to write a review from India. First a word about the seller. The seller is quite responsible. Whenever I had a question and tried to contact him, they replied. They promised to deliver it by 08th and did it. However, I ordered for brown colour but they delivered a blue colour traveller's note book. Now about the TN book. It's a beautiful peice and complete value for money. Got it during desertcart Diwali sale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by L***N on 10 January 2015*

I held off buying one of these for a long time mostly because at that time a) it was £40.00 for what seemed like a sheet of leather and a thin notebook and b) the notebook/elastic system seemed fiddly and difficult. I put it on the backburner where the flame continued to grow. I eventually caved this week and purchased one from here. I ordered Thursday and it arrived on Friday. It comes wrapped in plastic cellophane inside which is kraft paper slim box with the Midori Traveler's Notebook story printed in Japanese and English on a strip of paper. Inside this kraft box, you'll find a small plastic bag containing an alternative closure elastic strap in orange and a white cotton bag. Inside the bag is the Midori Traveler's Notebook. Celestial light beams at this point. The leather is about 2.5mm thick and feels absolutely heavenly. You really do just want to stroke it and touch it. I had been warned that initially these notebooks have a strong chemical smell which dissipates after 2 or 3 days; however, mine just smelt very very strongly of beautiful leather. Inside the leather cover you will find a plain notebook refill (64 sides of paper, 32 pages). The paper in this refill is amazing and will handle fountain pen, wet inks and even watercolour paint. This is the only refill you will receive. At first, the notebook feels rather insubstantial with just one thin notebook in it but it will soon fill out once you start customising and adding your refills. Then it becomes glorious to hold. The leather just improves with time and age so you don't need to be precious with it. Things to note: 1) The only thing the notebook comes with is one PLAIN PAPER refill. You will need to purchase additional refills separately. 2) If your notebook is covered in white dust, this is a by product of the dying process. Just dry wipe/dust it off. 3) Different refills handle inks differently: the refill the notebook comes with handles pretty much anything - wetter inks will produce very light ghosting on the reverse page BUT will not bleed through. The lightweight paper will show darker ghosting on the reverse page but heavier inks like a Sharpie may bleed through. 4) Fountain pen users you can use both papers if you don't mind slight ghosting on the lightweight paper. 5) Grid paper, dot paper, kraft paper and sketch paper notebooks are also available. All handle inks and paints very well making this a very nice art journal 6) Other refills such as card holders, secretarial pockets, zip pockets and kraft folders are readily available or you could make your own using one of the many excellent YouTube tutorial videos available. 7) The inside of the Midori Notebook is just plain leather. There are no pockets or folds. You can buy pockets to stick on the inside. 8) There is no pen holder. This must be purchased separately and can be quite expensive. You can substitute using a Leuchtteurm pen holder. The latter can be afixed to the leather directly and holds very well. It can also be removed relatively easily and will not damage the leather. 9) The height of the Midori TN is the same as an A5 Moleskine but it is a couple of inches narrower. You can cut these addtional off the Moleskine A5 cahier notebooks and use them in your Midori. This is a cost effective method of refilling your notebook if you write/journal/art journal extensively. All in all the Midori Traveler's Notebook is a joy to have and use. I actually WANT to use it all the time. It's a convenient size for the handbag and for use in tight spaces where other wider notebooks might be a problem. For example, this is the perfect size to use on airplane service trays, on trains and you can also comfortably make notes holding it in your hand whilst observing something or if you are at a museum etc. There are so many uses for this and it is so customizable that I regret holding off. I will definitely order another 'just to have' in case anything happens to this one. It also reminds me of Indiana Jones' little brown notebook which is sad and cool at the same time. This notebook is (at the time of writing) available directly from Amazon so if you have Prime you can get this on next day delivery instead of waiting for it to come from Japan. I absolutely love it. For me, it is the notebook to end all notebooks. There is a now a cult following of this notebook and you can find many ideas and a lot of inspiration if you google it, Pinterest or search on YouTube.
