does this journal lay flat for easier writing?

Hi,The same pattern you see etched on the front is the same on the back but it does not impede your ability to write on it at all. I hope that helps.

The binding is leather and the pages stitched in, so it is a little stiff. With some encouragement mine almost lays flat but it is new and unused. If broken in some, it may lay completely flat.

I agree with the previous two answers. Papers or folders laying flat, yes. Heavy books, no.

If its's just paper the curve isn't too much and its flatter towards the top where you would most likely write on. If you are using a pad with a cardboard backing it might bend at the bottom but then why would you use this to write on?

If you used a hard-sided notebook, yes. But probably best for some quick writing. Still not a totally satisfactory writing experience d/t the bumpy ridgecaused when the proping gizmo is folded down.

It's like a hard cover book. When you open it....it cannot lay flat when open unless it's a map....

Much of this goes to personal preference. Fore me, the lines are distinct, but I do not find them distracting or overwhelming to my handwritten text. I say take a chance. A notebook with high quality paper is hard to find these days. It is no Clairfontaine-- has some tooth , but I like it.

The cover is flexible as if there is a thin layer of cardboard within the cover. Hard enough to take notes, but not as hard as a hardcover book. I hope this helps.

Hi Bunny! I LOVE this notebook (I've been using it for four years). It does lay flat when creased in the middle, but towards the front and the back you have to hold it down.

Yes they lie flat on the page. They are very similar to a plastic ruler students might use in school.

yes. I write on both sides with no concerns. you can see that there is something written on the other side, but it doesn't really show through.

The keyboard is flat, but the letters and numbers,etc is a little raised which I love so you can write like a if it was regular keyboard. It really works very well. Hope this helps:)

No it is not completely smooth on top. Close, but not to write a letter on.

Yes, it lays flat, I use it for my recipes so I know what you mean about needing it to lay flat!

Yes, it lays flat like a book. If you are videoing or taking pictures, it is not useful. It is a bit bulky BUT the keyboard is attached magnetically so it can be removed for easier use for handling. I really like mine. It is durable, magnetic, and convenient.

No, it does not. The back of the planner has a section called, "Notes Journal". It is more of a reflective section.

no, it is textured a bit. You would need a few sheets of paper or a pad uner your paper to write smoothly.
