I absolutely love the Dingbats Wildlife journal with one very important exception--the perforated pages. I love the feeling of the textured cover. The paper is smooth and doesn't bleed. It's the perfect size. But I'm a Bullet Journaler. So I flip pages back and forth A LOT, particularly the early (Index) pages. That action puts a lot of the strain on the pages, so, with the perforations, they start to come out when I don't want them to. I have to manually reinforce the perforations with tape to make sure the pages stay put. The Earth and Pro notebooks don't have the same problem (fewer perfed pages or none), but I really prefer the cover material and colorways of Wildlife. So if Dingbats would take that feature away, I'd be a loyal customer for life!
