Winnable Executive Journal

Recommended Posts

So, I've noticed this journal has no review on FPN. I've never done one before, so if I'm missing something, do be gentle. Apologies for the pics, but I don't have a scanner available to me that would do any better.

 

The Winnable Executive Journal: 320 pages, perfect bound, brown leather-like padded cover. 9.75" x 7"

Overall, not a bad journal for work. Certainly beats using scrap paper to keep notes on!

I agree that was a very well done review. Great job!

Hello,

 

I am using one of these as a journal right now. I like the way it feels. I have been able to use both sides of the pages, but the 2nd one is certainly less pleasant to write on and look at. Some inks allow double-sided use better than others.

 

On the downside, I find that inks lose some of their shading and become more uniform with a tinge of milkiness (can't think of another way to put it) to them.

 

Weirder still, I recently bought a bottle of Monteverde Brown ink. With a Monteverde Prima (I haven't used it in other pens yet) that ink goes down nicely with the right colour and shading. Yet, as it dries it turns somewhere between gray and avocado in colour (some shading remains). What a disappointment!
