The superb CIAK notebook. Red leather with archival quality ivory ruled paper. 15x21cm (A5). Patented horizontal elastic band secures any pen tightly against your notebook. CIAK journals and notebooks are made in Italy.
Italian Bonded Leather
Made from smooth soft Italian bonded leather, the CIAK's cover is firm yet flexible, which makes it an excellent alternative to a hardback cover. The use of bonded leather also makes CIAK notebooks very durable - ideal for everyday use.
Archival Quality, Acid Free Paper
There are 140 pages of permanently bound, college ruled cream paper that is perfect for fountain pen ink as well as ballpoints. The paper is archival quality and acid free and takes ink with no feathering or showthrough.
A Unique Leather Notebook
But that's where the conventional notebook ends.
Handmade in Florence, Italy, the CIAK notebook is a leather journal with a difference. CIAK features a patent protected horizontal elastic band, one major advantage of which is that a pen can be securely fastened to the notebook without fear of loss or damage. We've tried this with a variety of pens of different sizes ranging from a Pilot G2 to a Mont Blanc and the CIAK secured each one perfectly.
This is something that is simply impossible with any other notebook, due to their conventional vertical elastic bands. A quick look at the various Moleskine hacks on the Internet demonstrates the usefulness and value of having a pen attached to the notebook in this way.
The CIAK Range
The CIAK range is comprehensive and provides for user choice in virtually all elements of the notebook:
Sizes: 9x13cm, 12x17cm, 15x21cm (A5)
Colours: Black, red, blue, burnt orange, yellow.
Paper types: Ruled cream paper, plain cream paper, squared cream paper, plain white paper, multicolour ruled paper, address book, daily and weekly diary.
As well as the classic range of notebooks, the CIAK range also includes the CIAK Golf notebook, CIAK Travel notebook, CIAK Pocket slim notebook and CIAK Design themed notebook, which are all also available from The Journal Shop.

Customer Reviews
Buy this today This is an excellent high quality Italian journal. It comes with a great soft leather cover and looks as though it can take a good battering. Also included is a page marker and a natty elasticated band to hold loose pages, pens, etc. I'm a long-standing Moleskin lover and this is just as good. -
Super Quality Notebook, exactly as described I've bought this to use for work. It was so much cheaper than other similar sounding products I wondered if it could be as good as it looked. It arrived within 48 hours, is superb and exactly what I needed- this will now become a regular purchase Jane MIlton - London
A wonderful place to shop! I am an American who bought 3 of these journals as gifts for family in England. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for the help and care with which I was treated. This will be a regular source of shopping for our family. We all love to write. Thank you, Ruth. You are a treasure. Winnie Ternan - North Carolina, USA
Great journal A really 'nice' journal and I'm glad I bought one. The paper doesn't seem to have good opacity though and fountain pen writing still shows through from one side to the other. Maybe this is the 're-cycled' effect. Still, it's the words that are important, isn't it? The Good Captain - Shropshire
Good journal but - BEWARE In an earlier review I gave this product 4 stars because my fountain pen ink shows through both sides. I received a paper sample and found that it was not the same as in the journal. It was thicker and far superior. The recycled paper in the CIAK journals is not what is described on your site. Nigel Strachan - Shropshire
