TWONE Softcover Pocket Notebook Set - 3.5" x 5.5" - 6 Pack - 30 Sheets - 60 Blank Pages - Perfect for the Traveler or Author

Helpful for quick notes and easy carrying

I like the paper quality and the overall product. Pages are thick and sturdy. Good for taking quick notes. I find it a bit expensive yet worth it if you don't find the combo of size, quality and blank pages like a mini diary at your local stationary shop. Just the right size that you can carry easily in your purse or even in the pocket of your jeans.

At the outset, be forewarned that these are NOT 3½ X 5½ inch pocket notebooks. These are actually international A6 size (4.1 x 5.8 inch / 105 x 148 mm) size notebooks. So, these cannot act as refills for your Field Notes® leather cover if you have one.Aside of the error made in mentioning the size data, these small notebooks are an excellent buy, qualitatively speaking. They are not stapled at the centre but machine stitched end-to-end. So, no staple-rusting problem. The Kraft cover cardstock is of a much higher GSM than the going market rule. There are no trade markings on the cover cardstock both outside and inside. You really get a BLANK BOOK in every sense of the term. And this is where this pocket notebook scores high — it gives you the flexibility of personalizing/ customizing the front and back covers to your design and liking. It has the potential to become a notebook CREATED by you, and not being just a branded one. I was much stimulated by this possibility.The natural shade innards are not the usual 70 GSM but possibly around 80 GSM, and a pleasure to write upon. The paper is really of good quality and that matters a lot in a notebook. You get 64 unlined pages to a notebook, not 60 pages as erroneously mentioned in the listing, nor 48 pages which is the Field Notes® standard. The notebook closes properly even with these many pages, without the help of an elastic band. That is, in the opinion of this reviewer, a scoring point for these notebooks. Very few pocket size notebooks with 64 pages close properly, they invariably stay half open when put on the table.Overall, I would rate the notebook as a top quality, export edition product.If you are not obsessive about the 3½ X 5½ inch size, buy these notebooks without hesitation. These are, in fact, better than the Field Notes® notebooks in many respects, the only low scoring point being the corners which are square-cut instead of the more comfortable round-cut.While on the subject, I advise the Seller to- correct the size data in the product description, listing it as an A6 size notebook and NOT AS A 3½ X 5½-inch size notebook- reload the product images, showing notebooks with square-cut corners and NOT ROUND-CUT ones as appearing now on the Amazon product page.Prospective customers should not be misled in this manner. One star deducted on this account in rating this otherwise excellent product.

It is a great pocket sized book. I use it for taking notes or sketching when I am in meetings or on site visits. (I am an architect.) You will always find one of these with me or one in every bag of mine. I give it full stars for what it is and how it is. If you want black coloured cover page, then this is your go to option. If you want brown cover page, then go for Yasanido ones.P.s. I use Lamy fountain pen to take notes. You can see how much the paper bleeds, and it isn't much. So I would say, it is good quality and go for it.

Great experience.

Perfect size makes it handy and easy to carry, good quality paper and cover.

It's good for journaling for beginners. The size makes it easy to carry around wherever you go. It might be a little overpriced but I couldn't find anything similar in local stationary shops.

Quality of the notebook is good but the price is high and not worth the price
