A5 Lined Notebook - 2-Pack, 192 Page 100gsm Journal with Leather Hardcover, College Ruled Notepad for Men Women Office School Travel - Black & Green

Bought these as they were great value and looked really smart and sturdy. I needed something that would do well with being carried around on a daily basis, so these looked perfect! The covers are really lovely and soft, the colour is definitely true to image as well. The paper feels really nice quality, the pages are all numbered as well and there is a contents page at the start, so that's really helpful if you want to keep your notebook more organised! It does come with a little set of sticky tabs as well which was really nice. I haven't written in it yet, but from feeling the pages I don't believe there would be much bleed through/transfer from using a regular pen, a fountain pen or felt tip may bleed through though. Only complaint is that they did have a really strong almost chemical like smell to them upon opening. I think that may be to do with the material the cover is made out of. They've been out of the packet for about 3 days now and the smell is still slightly present, but not as strong.

Ordered the two pack and both arrived the next day with zero issues. The books are bound really well and the paper is of high quality. A double strand page finder makes a nice change combined with the elastic band page placement. A small envelope built in to the rear cover is also a nice touch and you are supplied with a selection of colour dividers. I've used fountain pens and there's been no bleeding or feathering, ball point pens also have no issues. Each page is numbered at the bottom and at the top is printed "date". Up to you if you use this or not. The lines on the paper are quite subdued which is nice.... nothing like the books we used to get at school where the lines were very dominant and a little off-putting. The cover is hard wearing and has a solid feel. For a diary or just note taking this is more than adequate, well it's a notebook so use it how you want... Summary....great value, excellent quality thick paper with a nice size pocket at the back. Definitely recommend this book.

Usually in the past I have only bought moleskin books due to their quality, but I thought I’d try and new brand and these are awesome. The quality of them is fantastic, the cost absolutely rivals moleskin, plenty of pages available, no bleed through when using a Parker pen, and it has two book markers which I find to be very useful. Overall great set of journals.

Good quality hard-backed journal ideal for bullet journaling with elastic string secure fastener and two nylon string placeholders and an elastic pen holder. The pages are thick enough to leave no trace or bleed through to other side. However, the printed dots appear clearer in photos and in reality are very light and harder to see so I shall deduct a star for this, because it is important particularly when you are drawing lines or shapes. It contains an Index, numbered pages and a small envelope to keep things inside the back cover, which is a nice touch. Other similar but more expensive journals may have clearer dots and stickers to mark sections but this is still of a high quality and excellent value for money.

Lovely notebook! They look and feel good quality, the pages are nice and thick so ink doesn’t bleed through. There’s a pocket in the back to keep any loose pages or other things, it also has built in dual page markers and a pen holder which is great for the price!

Great for journaling.

My old favourite notebook for journaling is now unavailable, and so I decided to give these a go. A good size, as expected, and the paper quality is lovely. I selected something similar to the notebooks I was using before, but the paper in these is so smooth, I think they rival the ones I used to use! Very happy and I do enjoy the grid pages. The paper is so smooth it seems almost shiny which I like. Especially as my inky pen can still write on it, flows amazingly, and dries straight away. I’ve not had a smudge yet! Definitely pleased so far and hopefully with the price being good value for money and competitive compared to similar products I will be back for more once I fill these. Having had these for a while now, I am still very impressed, and can say that they are nice and durable, too. Not a notebook I've taken on long trips or put through too much stress, but I've used them consistently and they're still in one piece aside from the occasional page I tear out because I write myself a list on it, and even that's not easily done! Almost time for a repurchase.

Really nice notebooks. Exactly as described
