My favorite journal
I have bought a variety of notebooks from Cognitive Surplus. These hardcover dot grid journals are my current favorite for writing in. The paper is weighty and smooth, the size is portable but not too small, there are plenty of pages, and a ribbon bookmark.

It’s a gift
I bought this as a gift for my geological engineering student who has a love of rocks and minerals. She’ll be starting on her master’s next year so I’m sure it will come in handy for her. Feels sturdy and paper feels thick.
