Our Company History
In 1928, at the age of twenty-two, Peter Beilenson began printing books on a small press in the basement of his parents’ home in Larchmont, New York. Peter—and later, his wife, Edna—sought to create fine books that sold at prices even a pauper could afford.
Today, still family owned and operated, Peter Pauper Press continues to honor our founders’ legacy—and our customers’ expectations—of beauty, quality, and value.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2024I have two other PPP hardcover journals and both have gold trim pages. I thought this one was going to have regular white pages, but the trim is like a shiny silver! Pleasant surprise :)
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024The cover is exquisite and the paper is perfect for writing…
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023I purchased this journal to use as a guest book for company. I recently moved into a new home. When I have company, everyone writes in the book. I decorate each page with stickers and quotes. It's fun to look back and see who was here and what we were celebrating, even if it was just a tea and dessert visit!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2023Peter Pauper Press journals are among my favorite brand. This journal in this Van Gogh print cover is lovely. I am both an art lover and a journal/paper lover, so this purchase was so satisfying. The paper quality is just awesome; it makes me want to journal more often.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2015The cover design is lovely & inside, the pages are very high quality, thick, off white in color and lined. I prefer larger journals as opposed to the very cute but difficult to write in tiny ones, so this one is the ideal size. Also, the spine of this journal isn't so tightly bound that you can't open it fully, so when open it lays flat allowing you to use the whole page and write very comfortably, which is as important to me as the look of the journal. Great quality, style and price.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018Hmmm. So, I took those [sorry, a bit blurry] pics, reading "No bleed-through . . . See?" And then, after I glanced at the pictures [at least "in person"--not on computer screen, perhaps], I actually *did* notice a little bleed-through with the marker, which is just a fairly-light-orange, fine-tip, Tombow marker--not a thick Sharpie or anything of that sort---and the pen I used is a fine-point and "not-at-all-heavily-inky" fountain pen. So, if you use Sharpies and/or medium-point, "inky" fountain pens, you actually might have an issue[?] But, you know, considering my own purposes [and most of my pens], I've never been bothered by the tiny bit of bleed-through. [Btw, Is there a better phrase for "bleed-through"?].
Though I've had this only a couple weeks or so, I'll mention that, so far, the cover is holding up. (It would likely hold up better if I took better care of my things: the (pretty!) paper cover is coming unstuck a tad on one corner, but, again, I don't handle notebooks and such stuff "daintily"---and I'm not averse to sticking a little piece of Scotch tape on there to reinforce it.)
The paper isn't of the quality you'd find with, say, Lemone, of course, but at the price I paid (which I don't recall, but I do remember I bought this because it's "really pretty," and not pricey)--anyhow, at whatever, not-high price I paid for this, I'm fine with the paper quality.
And, by the way, the paper is [as maybe the photos show, or maybe not] a nice "ivory" color--well, maybe more of a light "cream" color; and the lines are faint enough so that you don't feel as if you're using a second-grader's [marble-cover] composition book, but they're clear enough so that you see them without sort of squinting, or turning on a brighter lamp.
To sum up: As long as you're *not* wanting a notebook/journal in which to write "Very Important, Meaningful Things for Antiquity," or the like---and provided you're going to be using fairly "normal" pens---I imagine you'll find this a pleasant notebook to write in and have around.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2023The cover is hard and thick. It opens nicely. The paper is thick. The lines are not as dark as I'd like them but it wasn't shown as dark so I knew that. I love the prettiness of this.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014Bought this after seeing a similar one at the Portland Japanese Garden. I have had this journal for a year now. It has been carried around in my back pack and still looks brand new. The hard cover is 3D, the trees have texture and the flowers have shiny silver filaments in them. A Vincent Van Gogh brought to life with great quality. The paper stock on the inside is heavy and well made. There is also a synthetic silk book mark built in to keep track of where you need to write next. Look forward to writing in this for the next few years until i need another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely quality
Loved the design on the cover, embossed and subtly highlighted in gold. Great size, quality hardback, lovely paper to write on with subtle lines. I'm looking to finding some more notebooks similar to this one from this paper brand. Would really recommend this, if like me, you like something a little special to pop your ramblings in.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellente qualité !
Cela fait plusieurs années que je tiens un journal et je pense que cette marque est sans doute la meilleure. J'aime utiliser des stylos à ancre pour écrire et ce papier resiste bien sans laisser des traces sur le verso.
