Oxford Spiral Notebooks, 1 Subject, College Ruled Paper, Durable Plastic Cover, 100 Sheets, Divider Pocket, 3 per Pack (10390), Red, Black and Blue

The paper in these notebooks doesn't have a premium feel like Rhodia, Mnemosyne or Leuchturm paper, but pages are of good quality. The front covers are plastic, and the back cover is heavy card stock which supports writing without a desk. There is a nice plastic sheet in the front with a pocket on either side. I write with the following pens: an Aurora Ipsilon (steel nib F); a Parker 51 (F) circa 1965; a Pelikan Souveran M400 (F) in order of preference. These are fairly dry pens and they write smoothly and without bleed in the lines or through the pages. I also use a Leonardo MomentoZero (F) which lays down a relatively wet line, and it also does not bleed through. The ink I use is Parker Quink in black. I like the feel of these pens on this paper, and writing in these books is a pleasant experience. I think these notebooks are a good value at $12 for three books of 100 sheets each. I will definitely buy these again, although I have a lot of writing to do before I need to reorder.

Good Notebooks, Pencil writes very smoothly on them

I like these books, as I have bought larger ones in the past, and I rough them up too quickly before i finish using the whole book. These are just right, as I finish the book per the amount of abuse I dish out to them.

Worked great for what I needed

The metal spiral is extra thick.The front cover is very durable plastic.The back cover is reasonably durable cardboard.The paper is pretty thin. If you press too hard, it will tear.

These are a good value so I buy some every year!

I purchase these every year and they last the entire year without issue

Spiral is thick and front cover is more rigid
