Beinushor is a brand of A5 hardcover notebook, available ruled or dotted, and seemingly exclusively sold by Amazon.

It's a cheaper alternative to a Leuchtturm1917 or Moleskine notebook, and it's certainly good enough to use daily while also being cheap enough to hopefully overcome the urge to try to make your notation consistently perfect from the first page onwards.

It lets you open every spread completely flat, making it much easier to write in. It also has a pen loop as standard, which is convenient. Alas, it's not quite wide enough to fit a Safari, but it can accommodate a UM-151 just fine.

Sure, the cover feels cheap — and indeed can peel off along with any stickers you stick to its spine then later decide against — but overall it does its job well. I like it far more than I was expecting to.

I recommend using a Leuchtturm1917 or Moleskine notebook when you want to write something fancy, such as lyrics, and a Beinushor notebook when you want to write something disposable, such as daily task lists.
