    Pocket Journals are Perfect

    To-dos, journal entries, ideas, story ideas, this journal can do it all. It also takes fountain pens like a champ. I'm a repeat customer of these and just ordered the full size. Can't wait to try those.

    Lochby's Pocket Journals are the BEST

    I have acquired quite a collection of mini-journals but Lochby's are right there at the VERY TOP of the list for quality, price and ease of use! LOVE these! I use several of these, each and every day!
