AHGXG A5 Graph Paper Notebook Spiral (3-Pack) Spiral Journal 5.7"x 8.3", Quad Ruled, with Thick 100gsm Square Grid Paper,80 Sheets Per Pack

I almost did not buy this notebook because of the price-- it seemed too expensive. But I'm so glad I did, as it was worth the price. I have been using graph/quad ruled paper for a few years now to practice Chinese, so I can keep my Chinese characters in squares to practice writing them evenly. I've so far used two other quad-ruled notebooks and this is my third. I wanted a notebook, however, that was 5 squares per inch because I felt like, with the more common 4 squares per inch that I had been using, that I was writing like a third grader, with huge characters. Now that I've been using this notebook for a few weeks, I love it!! The pages are thick enough so the ink (Uniball Vision Elite) does not bleed through to the other side. (That was happening in my other, cheaper notebooks, which made me want to only write on one side of each page.) The binding is sturdy and does not bend. The notebook is a little smaller than standard US letter, but not too small and actually fits quite nicely in my backpack, so is good for carrying around. I also am a bullet journalist but have been using a dotted notebook for my bullet journals for years, but, after using this one for my Chinese language practice, I think it would also be a great notebook for bullet journals. But for my Chinese practice, it's great -- makes me want to practice Chinese more!

I ordered 3 sets of these and I am very happy with them. I use these every day, one for my work notebook and the other as a junk / scribble journal. I love them. My work one gets thrown in my bag, pushed around on my desk and taken EVERYWHERE! It's holding up beautifully. My junk journal gets scribbled on every day and shoved around my home desk and again is holding up very well. The clear cover feels sturdy, protects the paper well and it's nice to be able to create my own custom front cover on the first page, customise with Washi Tape or other decorative bits and bobs. The paper quality is good, the only pens I have that bleed through are oil based markers, or sharpie permanent markers. Normal colouring markers, gel pens, highlighters, Tombow brush pens, fineliners, Copic multiliners etc work beautifully with no bleed or feather. I think the Copic alcohol markers would probably bleed through. I also love the colour of the paper as it's a nice creamy colour, so it's very easy to look at. The grid is clear but not intrusive and is easy to see. It's fantastic for math, drawing, to do lists, general notes, creative doodling, bullet journalling and all manner of other things. The B5 size is perfect for me, I can fit all I need to on a page and section things off easily where needed, but it's not too big on my desk or in my hand. I would definitely order these again, they're fantastic for all sorts of purposes. I have actually now ordered the dot grid version as well and look forward to trying those when they arrive. Overall a fantastic product, highly recommend.

These are GREAT little notebooks. This is the third time I’ve purchased these notebooks. The hard plastic cover protects the pages and the notebook and binding stands up to being tossed in my teacher bag all year long. It’s the perfect size for notes, lots of pages (pretty much the same amount of pages in a regular notebook so it lasts me all year), and the dots are just light enough to aid in writing/drawing. The clear cover also allows me to attach a decorated scrapbook page to the inside so my notebook is personalized. These would also make great gifts.

I rarely write reviews, but I also rarely buy more of something within just a week! I've owned my first set for about a month now. These notebooks are fantastic - exactly what I didn't know I was looking for. These hold up to everything except Copic markers (which bled through heavily). I've used Bic Velocity ballpoints and Gelocity bold gel pens, Sakura Gelly Roll, Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallics, Zebra Midliners, basic ballpoints and some cheap felt tips and there was no bleed with any of them! I am able to use both sides of the paper with anything except the Copic markers. The paper has a wonderful feel - smooth for writing but just enough slight texture that gel pens don't skip. The weight is nice as well - I was able to layer some "junk" journal pages into my planner and they've held up and aren't coming loose at the spiral. This book gets thrown in my big work bag every day, and is handled constantly, and the spine has no damage and no pages have torn. The plastic cover is flexible, but thicker than many cheap plastic-covered notebooks. I'm very happy with the quality of those! I decorated the first page which gives it a customized look with the semi-transparent cover. I will absolutely be stocking up on more of these! They work great as journals, planners, and just for everyday note taking.

I'm yet to use this to see if the paper is thick enough, but no damages, just as pictured. Will update once I write in it. :)

Love the notebooks.

Excelente calidad , los volveria a comprar, son hojas gruesas y de calidad alta. Me agrada el color que no es blanco.

Wonderful notebooks. Great quality and working very well as a travelling bullet journal. Light-weight but sturdy enough to write / draw / journal while on the move.

I bought these mainly for calligraphy work and they're great. I haven't used dot grid paper before and it helps a lot with repetitive lettering and surprisingly pleasant for keeping your general pen work straight. The paper is an off-white and must be a high grade gsm. It feels smooth, is nice to write on and none of my ink, gel pens, pencil or acrylic paint pens have bled through (though that could be the quality of the pens too as I tend to buy no-bleed pens if I can). I had to return one pack of these because one of the books had a malformed spring binding. They are a great price and a very useful book/journal/notepad.
