Leuchtturm1917 A5 Softcover Notebook vs Leuchtturm1917 A5 Hardcover Notebook

Both are A5 ruled Leuchtturm notebooks with the same 80 gsm chamois paper, numbered pages, table of contents, two page markers, a gusseted pocket, eight perforated sheets and sticker labels. The hardcover holds roughly twice the pages, opens flat, and protects pages in a bag; the softcover is far lighter and flexes to fit a jacket pocket. The hardcover is the better buy for journaling and daily carry; the softcover suits travelers who want less weight and bulk.

• Choose the Leuchtturm A5 Softcover if you want a light, flexible notebook that slips into a bag or pocket and you write fewer pages per book.
• Choose the Leuchtturm A5 Hardcover if you want a durable cover, a flat-opening spine and about twice the writing room in one book.
