Side by Side Comparison of: Lilly Pulitzer vs Mead

It's a nice sized notebook and I'm always writing--plus it has pockets in the front to slip the papers you need in..I wish they had one with more pages...it wouldn't matter the cost, I'd be the first one to purchase!!

Nice cute notebook. Well made and shipped/packaged well. Sturdy front and back cover. It is a little larger than standard 8.5"x11" size, and is not ideal if you intend to carry it with you. The inside first page is a pocket card page so that you can store a few sheets of paper in the front if needed. Overall a nice, well made notebook. Regular wide spacing between the lines (not college rule). I love anything Lilly!

Love this product. Arrived quickly. The pages are of spacious size and even has room to write titles on each page. The pages on the inside are pink!

My tween daughter requested a journal, but didn't want a small one. I was a little hesitant to pay so much for what I worried was just a notebook with a fancy cover, but she really wanted it. When it arrived, I was very happy with it. It is better quality than a regular spiral bound notebook. The cover is cardboard, but is pretty sturdy and very pretty. The pages are thicker and are more similar to journal quality than loose-leaf type paper. It also has a little folder pocket in the front for extra storage. My older daughter now want me to order one for her.

I got one of these for my 93 year old mother who has kept a diary for many years. She loves it, and says it will take her about a year to fill it up.

I love it! It's the perfect size and it's really cute. The inside pages have pretty detailing too.

Beautiful notebook but I wish that the paper weight was thicker so that a fine line pen would not bleed through to the other side of the page. I recommend using a regular ink pen when writing in this journal. I prefer the large size (8-1/2 x 11 ) lined paper Piccadilly journals but they are now hard to find and not available on Amazon.com.

The notebook is fine; however, I ordered 4 of them for gifts and each one of them had bent spirals. When I tried to straighten them out the ends popped out of the holes. I believe this was due to the delivery/storage process. The actual notebook was as expected.

The pages are slightly thinner than I expected - if you write with pen it ghosts through, which is better than bleeding but still. The cover is also a thick cardboard with paper so the edges came all messed up. When I pay $12 for a notebook I expect a quality cover. Other than that I think the overall design is nice and, if the notebook arrives perfectly, should be able to be kept nice if not shoved into a bag for school or anything. I also really like the size despite the ring not fitting proper on the bottom. (I had to shove it in, and it still doesn't close right + there's glue in it??) But I probably wouldn't buy another one though just because quality covers/binding are important to me and this seems more like paying for a Brand.
