They have page markers, a contents page and page numbers. There is a folding pocket in the cover for loose notes or business cards, as well as title and spine stickers and a practical elastic closure. There are several perforated pages at the back of every notebook, in case you want to share a note with someone else. Leuchtturm1917 have thought of everything!

Grip and Grasp
Our sense of touch is so sophisticated that we even describe things we have grasped with our hands in the dark in much greater detail than when we only see them. When we grip, we grasp. Each time we take pen in hand and put it to paper, we spark a firework.
Write it Down
Bring your Thoughts to Life!
No keyboard is able to replace the valuable thinking and processing mechanisms that occur when we put pen to paper.
We write and understand, learn, see and think – with the hand. Writing by hand is thinking on paper. We allow our thoughts to run free. This empowers us to step back. The resulting distance helps us to objectively view plans and projects.
By writing our thoughts down, we bring them to life.
Why do we still write journals?
Writing a journal may seem archaic, but studies have shown that getting busy with pen and paper has many benefits to our technology-obsessed, extremely online selves.
Professor James W. Pennebaker and his team at the University of Texas have conducted extensive research on the benefits of journaling.
