I love this journal! It was well worth the price. Neither the ink or highlighters bleed through the pages and what ever you write is well protected in the hard outer covers. It's a nice size and easy to mold, you don't have to constantly hold one side down while writing. Plus, it has a nice little pocket at the back of it. My only concern is how lose the pages are. I tested it out by gently tugging on a page while I was write and it started to tear from the thread. Other than that it's a very good journal and I plan on using everyday!
