What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Leuchtturm1917 Bullet Journal Edition 2 is treated as the reference notebook for the format — unsurprising given it was developed with Ryder Carroll, the creator of the Bullet Journal method. High-trust threads on r/bujo, r/bulletjournal, and r/notebooks consistently praise the 120 gsm paper as thicker and more pen-friendly than the standard Leuchtturm A5, the numbered pages, the gold detailing on some colorways, and the included BuJo pocket guide, bullet key, index, and future log pages. As one r/notebooks commenter put it, the build is "great" with "thick numbered pages, guides for boxing, great gold touches." The disagreement worth surfacing: dot visibility and ghosting.
What reviewers liked
- High-trust subreddit consensus on paper quality and build at 120 gsm
- Numbered pages plus prebuilt index, key, and future log save setup time
- BuJo pocket guide included, useful for newcomers to the method
- Strong hardcover and gold-edge detailing called out in r/notebooks threads
Where it falls short
- Hanusiablog and r/bulletjournal threads flag noticeably lighter dots than the standard Leuchtturm
- Ghosting through pages is a recurring complaint with heavier markers
- Fewer pages than the standard edition because the paper is thicker
- Premium price relative to budget dotted notebooks that community threads say perform comparably for gel-pen users
Across the reviewers we read, the Leuchtturm1917 Bullet Journal Edition 2 is treated as the reference notebook for the format — unsurprising given it was developed with Ryder Carroll, the creator of the Bullet Journal method. High-trust threads on r/bujo, r/bulletjournal, and r/notebooks consistently praise the 120 gsm paper as thicker and more pen-friendly than the standard Leuchtturm A5, the numbered pages, the gold detailing on some colorways, and the included BuJo pocket guide, bullet key, index, and future log pages. As one r/notebooks commenter put it, the build is "great" with "thick numbered pages, guides for boxing, great gold touches."
The disagreement worth surfacing: dot visibility and ghosting. Hanusiablog explicitly notes the dots are "significantly lighter than those in the regular Leuchtturm A5," and an r/bulletjournal thread titled "Can I say how utterly disappointed I am" exists for a reason — some users find the lighter dots a feature, others a frustration, and ghosting through to the next page is a recurring complaint when heavier inks or markers are used. Thepaperkind notes the notebook is otherwise visually nearly identical to the standard hardcover except for the embossing.
The consensus verdict is that you're paying a premium for the official BuJo extras and slightly thicker paper rather than a radically different notebook, and reviewers who value the prebuilt structure say it's worth it.
