5.5x8.3 inch Kraft A5 Line Notebook

This is the only notebook I've found that has all the three of the features I prefer: college ruling, laying flat, and inexpensive. I carry these notebooks with me every day. These notebooks are perfect for taking notes in class or journaling. They're good in an academic context especially, and they wouldn't be out of place in a professional context. Paper The paper is a smooth cream color and does not bleed, even with the somewhat heavy ink of the Pilot G-2. The paper is of a high enough quality that pens glide rather than dragging. I was using some bright white stationary before these notebooks, and I have noticed that the cream color is substantially easier on the eyes. Cover The cover is similar to a tan construction paper. You could easily draw on it if you'd like to "customize" the cover of your notebooks. Personally, I write the date range of the contained notes on the outside of the notebook. I haven't had any problems with the cover. Binding The binding is stable and allows the notebook to not only lay flat, but fold around completely. I appreciate this because, in a pinch, you can write some notes without a hard surface to lean on. I have not had any problems with the durability, which was one of my concerns at this price point. There are two possible downsides to consider before buying these notebooks. First, 60 pages is not a lot, so if you are a heavy note-taker, you might fill one notebook per week. I do. If you'd prefer to keep a longer-running notebook, you should look elsewhere. Second, as I mentioned, the notebook cover is similar to a construction paper, and it would not protect your notes from spilled liquids. Just be careful with drinks on the same surface.

Many students in high school these days rely on notes taken on a computer, but I teach a introductory computer programming class and the students find it difficult to take notes and code at the same time. Hearing the woes of my kids I give them each one of these 30 sheet (60 sides total) notebooks and a 6 color pen (the colors allow them to use color coding and to highlight important syntax). My students are so grateful and take notes regularly. We keep the notebooks and pens in class so they don't forget them at home and at the end of the semester they get to take them home. The paper is good quality and the dot pattern is a much better solution for learning to code than college-ruled lined paper because you can use the dots as a guide for drawing concepts like flow charts and array visualizations. We give them stickers to decorate the front and make the notebook theirs. These are an incredible value and I can't imagine teaching without these in my students' hands!

I love these. The size is prefect for my Travelers Notebook. Easy to cover if you want to. I can fit 4 months in one booklet with my setup. No bleed through even with my flairs.

A great, quality product! I use them as student science journals.

Great little dot journal. Price is right. Handy size for succinct journaling or art journaling projects. Was exactly what I needed. I bought multiple bundles. Sadly, one of the bundles arrived damaged and three of the 12 books were bent and warped. If not for the unfortunate condition of the one bundle, would have been an easy 5 stars.

Teacher’s Perspective Review: Semester Journals for Student Note-Taking As an educator, I introduced structured journals that have truly transformed the way my class engages with the material. The design of these journals is exceptional. The lined pages provide a structured format that encourages students to take organized and coherent notes. The absence of spirals or staples on the spine adds to their durability, ensuring that they withstand daily use without falling apart and lays flat. The blank covers, both front and back, are a blank canvas for students to personalize it. The inside covers is a perfect space for charts, graphs, or a table of contents that enhances the functionality of the journals. This feature encourages students to not only organize their notes but also to summarize key concepts and refer back to them easily. It has been beneficial for students to quickly locate important information. One practical aspect I appreciate is the size of these journals. They’re perfect for maintaining in-class files or making them convenient to transport while not being bulky. There are about 55 pages lined on each side. It is perfect for classes that have notes that fill a page or two per day for a semester. At the end of the semester, it is genuinely rewarding to see students leave with their journals filled with their hard work and reflections. The pride they take in what they’ve created is palpable, and many have expressed how they plan to keep their journals as a reminder of their progress and learning experiences. This culmination of the semester not only showcases their academic growth but also reinforces the value of the journaling process. These structured journals have become an integral part of my classroom. They promote organized note-taking, foster creativity, and help students take ownership of their learning. I wholeheartedly recommend them to fellow educators looking for a reliable and effective tool to enrich their students’ academic experience.

I can't get enough of these notebooks. Super useful for doodling, writing, storyboarding, etc. I have about 4 on rotation for different things at any given time. Cheap but they do their job well. I appreciate the neutral brown tone of the cover as it lets me customize my notebooks with ease! Been using black ink pens and paint markers on those and it's gone well. Reinforcing the spine with a bit of tape should extend the life of them. The pages are average-thin. Overall, good value for money.

If you want to use multiple notebooks for different purposes (e.g. daily journaling, commonplace book, special project notes ,etc) all at the same time then this pack is your answer! This thin 60-page notebook is made of quality paper. My fountainpen ink does not feather or bleed through and the ghosting on the other side of paper is hardly visible. I am glad I found this pack of notebook!

Perfect for what I needed

These note books did not have as many pages as the Feela Kraft books and the brown paper looked more red than brown.

I needed something to add to a client gift box that I could easily personalise and these notebooks are spot on. Really nice quality, love the plain covers so I can add my own branded sticker to the front, and the dotted pages are excellent. And bonus, they fit in a small mailer box which is perfect for sending out to clients!

Great little books, just the right size. They are great in my office and around home. Paper holds fountain pen ink very well. Will buy again

Bought them for work to organize myself! Little smaller than expected but are nice!
