MD Notebooks - Journal
The epitome of minimalist design, available in A5 and A6 sizes, with thread binding that ensures pages lay flat for optimal writing and sketching.
These MD Notebooks are a minimalists dream – no bells and whistles; just the pleasure of writing, sketching, or creating. You'll find that your pen glides effortlessly across the page with no bleed through or feathering.
Available in two convenient sizes, A5 and A6, these notebooks each feature 176 pages. Threaded binding makes the pages both robust and easy to open. With the binding’s ability to open to a full 180 degrees and lay perfectly flat you'll be able to create to your hearts content and in ultimate comfort.
Lovely quality paper for fountain pens BUT 4 Stars only as paper is 'greasy' on the bottom third of the page. My (Montblanc 149) nib slips over the page and the ink doesnt apply. Frustrating for the price and Midori brand.
UPDATE: I've upgraded my review to 5 Star! Tom's Studio responded to my feedback with terrific customer service (Thank you). Highly recommend this retailer for your long term stationery needs.
Got my 1st journal in Oct’24 and have since bought another 2. They are perfect A5 journal size and fits into my leather journal cover perfectly. Opens flat and pages bled proof. Grid is fantastic and not intrusive. Perfect for guidance and not obvious once page is filled. LOVE IT ❤️
I do genuinely like these notebooks. The main reason I like these is the fact that binding naturally curves the pages in. Other notebooks Ive used in the past the pages and binding would curve out from consistent use. So that is something I enjoy. Now for the reason I gave this product 3 starts. First off, not that bit of deal but it took probably 2-3 weeks just for it to arrive. Again, not that big of a deal, I mean its just a notebook. But then again, its just a notebook and shouldnt take that long. My biggest qualm with this notebook is the ink from my fountain pen takes a while to dry on the pages. The ink smudges very easily.This is odd because Tom’s Studio( the seller) sells fountain pens. You would think they would create a notebook that would allow you to use your fountain pen without this being an issue. This tells me that they probably don’t actually test their products. If they can fix these one issue, I would give this 5 stars.
Great journal, lovely paper quality, lies flat would definitely buy again
I’ve been using Midori notebooks for years; they’re good quality and the pen glides beautifully, a real pleasure to write on such smooth paper.
No bells and whistles just a really good notebook with excellent paper. My new go-to
This is my second MD Notebook, used as my office day book. Its paper takes fountin pen ink beautifully. I use a stub nib so quite thick lines but no feathering or bleed through so I'm always able to use both sides. Also lies nice and flat. The pale cover can get a bit grubby, but I like the used look!
Love this notebook, great store, would have had to order over seas if not for this, thank you!!
Fits perfectly into a leather cover that was handmade - and I could never find a book to fit, but this one does!
I really haven’t used it yet; I mean I just got it. I love the look of it, and the label included for it. You get the feeling you could just fill it up with thoughts, ideas, and even with lines (because I need lines. My mood has me writing at up angle or down angle) it seems you can still ignore them and sketch a thought. AND…and that is a big AND, you can write your thoughts, ideas, moods, whatever, on a really nice paper that won’t have the ink doing that spidery splooch when you write. It’s made in Japan, and as far as I am concerned, they do make the very best paper. (I did a little, kinda pen test on a page. Although I should finish my current journal, and it does the pen splooch, so I might just abandon it.)

Simple, minimalistic and great quality paper. Best notebook and a pleasure to write on.
I decided to start journaling and wanted buy something purposely made rather than use one of the various lined notebooks I have accumulated over the years. I read the description and liked what I read. I choose the dotted notebook. I also bought writing equipment from Tom’s Studio at the same time. It’s great, very happy with the Notebook. It’s easy to use with each page lying flat as described and no smudging. Already I’m about a third of the way through and thats a reflection of the amount I have written. Soon I’ll need to place my next order.
I loved the delivery, the personalised note and a little gift I received from Tom's studio. The notebook itself is great- way better than what I bought before from other places! I am a loyal customer, just after the first purchase!

Good quality and nice to write on.
Really like these as companion to Tom’s Studio pens
I'm not writing a review
Great quality paper. I love these. Will buy more at some point.
Good service and delivery, fits well into my a6 holder. The leak through makes this a little disappointing considering the price.
Hi
This is a gift for my daughter who has not yet received it. I hope she will be pleased. Nice paper.
Great product, well made.

i am very pleased with this notebook, it’s pleasant to write in & i love the simplicity of it & the way it sits flat.
I tend to write in whatever direction i feel like so the lines are unimportant to me, i would welcome a blank book like this .
Please bring back the dotted journal.
I’ve had a number of journals and this is one of my favourites so far. I really like the dots and the page size is perfect! The only downside is not having a proper cover so can be a little tricky if not sitting at a table
Beautiful paper but the dot grid is to pale to be useable.
