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.

A Keeper
Beautiful, well made journal. There are many types of journals to choose from. For me it has to be sturdy and functional. Since I tend to buy and start journals, only to soon lose motivation I don’t like to spend a ton of money on them. Also I’m always hoping this will be The One that helps me stay on track. So far so good. I like the portable size and the sturdy cover. The spiral binding makes it easy to write in. Plus who doesn’t love an uplifting and motivating quote? It’s helped to stay closed by an attached elastic band. The pages are lined on one side and blank on the other. The top right side of each page has three small dots which some other reviewers have commented on. They can be used, or not as you see fit. The pages are unnumbered so you could put the number there. In no way to they detract from the journal.

Bought this as a dream book to practice active dreaming in lucid dreams. Trick is trying to recall the dream to write it down. Great quality pages and cover for the price.

VERY nice journal!
This review is for the SOAR Journal Soar Journal (Notebook, Diary) (Guided Journals Series). I took a good long look at all the journals available for sale on Amazon and I picked out FOUR Peter Pauper journals. This one is spiral bound, and the front and back covers are made of a very strong cardboard that does not easily bend. It’s sturdy and well-made (no wimpy wire here!), and the paper is lined. The lines are not very dark, just enough to give you a guide. The paper also has 3 half-dots that are printed to the edge of the paper, near the top of the paper on the right side. Not sure why these are here, but it’s something to mention. The front cover gilding is also embossed, which of course will help the gold stay where it is through repeated handling. The back cover has a strip of elastic to help hold the book closed or mark a page.About the only thing I might have liked is for this little journal to be not a journal but a “blank book” or sketch pad – and have unlined paper, perhaps a watercolor paper or drawing paper, in white. It’s a great journal as it is, though, and I am very happy with my purchase.Peter Pauper journals ROCK! 🙂

Better than advertised!
Extremely fast delivery! Ordered it Sunday night and it arrived Monday! Very happy with that.For some reason I was expecting the cover of the notebook to be flexible, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that itâs a sturdy, hard surface. (Makes it easier to write in various circumstances.) The pages are nice and thick! I do wish there were more of them – say, 200 instead of 160 – but thatâs the only downside to this journal. Itâs beautiful and the graphic is true to the picture. Love how bright the gold is.

Magnifique journal de qualité, couverture en cuir qui sent bon, gravure dorée pleine de charme et ficelle elastique pour le fermer. Pages lignées discretement, et taille très correct ! Je le pensais cher mais au vu de la qualité il ne l’est pas !
by hippy-chic
A beautiful journal, beautiful words etched in gold on the cover, quality pages, ink doesn’t transfer through to other page. The cover is extremely sturdy, although some people may find the wire-spine is slightly big. I love it, quality.

Update :Ce n’est vraiment pas de la bonne qualité. Après une semaine d’utilisation, tout part en vrille. Il est très joli. Cependant, j’ai commandé cet article parce que j’avais le modèle “Shoot for the moon” et le papier était épais.Or, ici, le papier est jaunâtre alors que le papier du premier est blanc. cela ne pose pas, en soi, de problème, mais le papier est vraiment très fin. J’avais commandé cet article exprès parce que je pensais que la qualité du papier serait la même, mais ça n’est pas le cas.Je suis donc déçue, même si le produit est joli.

I ordered the journal initially because of the wording on the front cover. I am pleased to say that not only is the cover beautiful, the journal is sturdy and great value.
