Thick Notebooks College Ruled - A5 Lined Journals with 100gsm Paper, Hardcover Thick Journal Notebook Giftable for Women for School, Office, Artist Writing/Noting, 320 Pages, 5.75'' X 8.38'' Green

Good quality, lots of pages and two helpful bookmarks, looks as expected and is easy to write in

Really like this notebook, the paper quality is great, with lots of leaves. Loving the cover which is a nice texture and a great colour. I am a fountain pen user so not all pads are good for this, but this one is fine

I collect good journals like others collect wine. And this is my best ever. Smooth quality paper that lets my pen glide. It makes me feel good to write in my affirmations, to do list and self-encouragement. Five stars all round.

This A5 hardback notebook is very good quality. The cover is strong and sturdy, whilst being smooth to the touch, and the pages feel pleasingly thick. The cover is a contemporary blue-grey colour and the paper is soft cream; the cream shade is luxurious in appearance and kinder to the eyes than stark white, which can be very tiring after a while.The notebook has two ribbon bookmarks in light teal and charcoal, and an elastic closure loop with which to maintain privacy and secure any loose papers held within the book. Affixed to the back cover of the notebook is a handy document wallet. In addition, a small packet of index stickers is included with the notebook.The notebook is undated and therefore ideal for such purposes as journaling or working on a project. Each page has space for the date at the top. Irritatingly, however, the notebook has a title page which states that it is an "undated A5 notebook" - a tad unnecessary. Personally, I cannot stand superfluous information and so will probably cover this with a sticker. Apart from this detail, however, the notebook is superb and would suit a multitude of purposes.

The notebook arrived with a heat shrink wrapping keeping it clean, first impressions are excellent with this, the paper measures exactly as B5 and the cover is slightly bigger than that. The cover is a very soft & believable faux leather that flexes with the paper in the notebook. An elastic loop is fixed to the inside of the back cover like most notebooks and it gives a strong hold to keep the book closed while not in use. There were no blemishes or markings on the notebook at all, everything arrived in mint condition ready to use.The notebook clearly has quite an emphasis on this being used for organised note-taking or possibly for bullet journaling as it has a section at the front you can use as an index, two different coloured bookmark strings and a set of coloured sticky labels. You can keep the page numbers of key information listed at the front or marked with a sticky label or bookmark, so there are plenty of options for the folks who need to keep organised.The paper is a pleasure to write on and each page has an empty date section, is lined, numbered and bound tightly into the cover. I do like that you can fold the notebook fully flat on any page for reading, writing and sketching. The paper has worked just fine with all kinds of pens and pencils and the only thing that’s shown major issues so far is a sharpie which is to be expected.You can see some ghosting of the stuff written & drawn on the previous pages through the paper but it's no worse than the 70-100gsm paper from other brands. The severity of the ghosting will change depending on the type of pen or pencil you use and how heavily you lean etc, but as I said it's comparable to the ghosting on pretty much every notebook I’ve owned including the premium options.The price of £15.79 is around what I'd expect for a notebook of this size, quality and page count so I have no real complaints. This is on par with the moleskines I've used for years and you’re getting 100 additional pages compared to them for less money.

"Long Story Short"It has very thick pages, the ones that arent see trough, so no worries for bleedingSolid printAbsolutely strong coverPaper is with slight shade so it isnt a snow white paperOverall : top quality all aroundValue for money 10 out of 10

Good quality thick notebook that allows you flexibility with dates etc. I use it as a tracking planner and really like it for that. It feels nice it hold, is big and allows for a variety of uses.
