Great PIF Migo.

I'd love to be included. :) I don't have a very creative use for it, but my Recipe book (currently a Leuchtturm in neon green) is almost full of delicious recipes and I need a volume 2!

I generally use notebooks/journals as field books to record field data for surveying and engineering. If the paper isn't up to the task I have two birds that would make quick use of the leftovers.

wow, fantastic offer. Right now I am in need of a journal/notebook to keep track of all the pens, paper, inks and nibs that i have tried, am curious about in half of the book. turned over so it seems like a different book will be where i practise my calligraphy to chart my progress.

What a neat PIF, thank you for this opportunity. I'd really like to have a separate journal for pens, ink, writing samples and progress. I think keeping a daily journal gives a great visual perspective of where you began and how far you've come. Please do include me in this PIF.

Paper? Right now I use the black and red brand notebook. I have admired the Leuchtturm. I don't have a journal book, but the Leuchtturm would be so. Lined for me please, otherwise I can only used half the page due to my terrible tendency to sloop downward.

I would love to own a journal of this quality, I have taken up the process of journaling on a somewhat regular basis. Currently I accomplish this in a composition note book, ok it is from Levenger so the paper is of a good quality, and as it has been stated above I can see the improvement in my penmanship.

I have a great need for a stealth journal to plot my plans for global domination. The coffee brown cover would definitely hide the nefarious plans that would be contained within. The end goal would be a cost of sending electronic communication, that for every five messages that you send electronically requires that you send a thoughtful letter to someone special. Additionally the the receiver would have the responsibility to mark up the letter and return it to the sender for revisions.

Thank you notes will no longer be just for holidays for children forced to write how they "LOVE" the new pink bunny suit, but to thank the person that cleans the office for these are the true unsung heroes of the revolution.

Yes my plan for global domination will come one letter at a time, and you have the opportunity to light the fuse!

Oh dear me, I have to enter this one....Their paper is good for journals especially. Being that the pen loop is tobacco colored it seems only fitting that I use the journal for notes on pipe tobacco and cigar tastings I do. I would probably use the pocket for cigar bands of ones I like while out and about but would have to make notes on some other time. Using the bands as a reminder. And considering its casual use I think the pen, being brown black, would be a good pen for the job!

I have only very recently become a journal owner and am finding it irresistible to put all kinds of daily notes in there. I'm trying out different pens and inks in my current journal

I was looking at these Leuchtturm A5 journals only yesterday when the Bureau Direct newsletter arrived and I saw that they were offering a Wimbledon Special version. I think they look like excellent journals, but I reluctantly decided I have spent far too much money recently on pens and inks to be able to afford one

If I was the very lucky winner, this one would accompany me on bird watching trips to record what birds I see and where I see them.

I'd love to be up for a chance at this one, I've been eyeing up Leuchtturm notebooks lately and would love to try one! I'd use it for a combination of diary writing (something I used to go a lot when I was younger and would like to get back to!) and calligraphy practice.

Well I fear I will fall short when compared to all of the original and entertaining entries so far. But my love for Leuchtturm and all things brown moves me to enter this PIF. I already own two Leuchtturm notebooks; both are filled with examples of great writing I have copied out (including some of my own!) I encourage anyone who is considering adding these notebooks to their daily arsenal to do so; the paper is a dream and the table of contents invaluable. Thank you migo984 for such a generous PIF.

I have been considering trying these out for a while but have been hesitant because I buy notebooks and end up not liking them or using them, and I didn't want that to happen again. I would use it for a sketch journal since I haven't found one I like that is fountain pen friendly yet. Thanks for the opportunity!

I'd love to try it. I've been looking for a good journal to take with me on my archaeological survey I will be conducting independently. The index and page numbers will be super useful in keeping track of the excessive notes archaeologists take in the field. I've been lusting after these in particular for a while.

I would love to be included in this PIF, I've never tried leuchtturm before but I keep reading about it online. I would use it as my next journal (which I pretty much use as a sort of commonplace/smash book with quotes and sayings and pictures)

I would love to be included in this PIF! I would use this journal to keep track of my daily work projects. I am currently using a Moleskine which is not very fountain pen friendly so I use a regular ink pen to keep track in my current journal. I have lots of fountain pens and cool inks just have not found a good fountain pen friendly notebook how sad is that.

Thanks for the chance to win.

I would like to enter this PIF, I won another but internet was out so I'm back in the game! If I win this it will be my note taking journal for my AP Biology class next year (sophomore) it matches my Lamy Al-Star in Coffee wonderfully. In the event I am the winner, expect a thank-you note!

Thank you for such a generous PIF. This old lady is trying to learn how to draw. It's been a fun but frustrating experience. I would love the journal to watch my progression. Here's a sample of my beginning attempts. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/08/5utehu4a.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/08/y6u3yhu3.jpg

Hi, I would love to be included in this PIF.
I've tried a Leuchtturm notebook once and it was a complete dud. Major feathering even with fine nibbed pens. I was so disappointed and haven't been able to bring myself to buy another. Maybe a second-chance gift from a stranger could convert me! I would use it as my personal daily journal, into which everything goes.

Thanks for your generous PIF

Endless the quick brown fox renditions. In a variety of inks and pen sizes. Because I have nothing better to do, and my webbie is running out.

I remember those uni ball rollerballs! I used to think they were the bees knees, in the BN (before Nibius) era.

The winner of this PIF is crazyorange, but there is a bit of a twist with this PIF. Crazyorange wanted to use the Leuchtturm to develop her drawing skills. However, on reflection I think this journal is not the most suitable for that purpose. So after discussion with crazyorange I am going to send her a nice sketchbook instead. This will be much better for her ink drawings.


I've decided to draw again for the Leuchhturm notebook and the winner of this is Holsworth.
Please contact me via PM with your postal details and I'll get the goodies off to you asap.

Congratulations to both :dance3:

This is who I know, thoughtful beyond compare. Trust Migo to "go" the extra mile to fit the gift to the need. But be careful, she will have you buying things you hadn't realized were exactly what you wanted but didn't know.
