EMSHOI Lined Journal Spiral Notebook 5.7" x 8.22" - 4 Pack 640 Pages 100gsm Thick Paper, A5 Small Notebooks College Ruled, Plastic Hardcover Journals for Writing Women Men Work School Supplies

I will defiantly being buying these again when I run out of notebook pages. They are simple but very aesthetic. I've found I prefer having 4 small notebooks with different colors like this instead of one large 3-5 subject notebook. These are not as bulky and don't take up a lot of room in a bookbag. They also come with sticky page markers you can write on which is a nice touch. So still even if you want a notebook that has several subject in one you can add a page marker to make it into one. The pages are high quality paper and include a date section at the top of the page. Overall, best notebook I have bought yet I would recommend buying these. Also the price is very reasonable for the quality you get. The only thing I would change would be to make the covers a little more durable. They still hold up well and aren't flimsy but if I had to pick one thing to improve that would be it. They are a bendable plastic cover and I would change this to either a non bendable plastic or to a sturdy cardboard. But this is just me being picky the current cover is perfectly fine.

These are great little notebooks with quality paper and good hardware for lack of a better term. The paper is heavy enough that pen ink doesnt show through and the spirals allow it to lay flat on every page, front and back.

Love these notebooks and use them for various record keeping and notes. Will definitely need more.

These notebooks are pretty sturdy and will come in handy while in school. I plan to use them for my lab classes as a lab notebook. They are pretty small though. I didn't realize how much smaller they were going to be than a regular college notebook. That being said, they have a hard cover and are pretty sturdy. They are also college-ruled, which is a plus for me.

I ordered a 4-pack of these notebooks. Sadly my shipment included only 1 notebook. This may not have been the fault of the seller . . . could have happened through shipping hands, I suppose. Anyway, 1 quick call and it was resolved quickly. I'm still giving them 5 stars. THANK YOU. The quality seems good and is the size I needed.

These are very nice notebooks. The paper is a fairly heavy weight and is nice to write on. The off white color is a nice change from the stark white paper that is in most notebooks. Sure, the dollar stores have notebooks, but you definitely get what you pay for. The cheapies do work, but the covers are thin, and the paper is lower grade. The books seem to be made well. The cover colors are nice too. If you are serious about writing, this notebook is for you. I am a lefty, so I prefer ballpoint pens over gels. The Zebra Z-Grip pens that I use work wonderfully with these EMSHOI books. I like to journal, and a nice book to write in is a real treat. I highly recommended these, and I would purchase them again.

I thought I bought a slightly larger notebook, so almost returned. But decided to save the environment one more unnecessary shipping trip and kept them. They've been better than expected. I don't mind the smaller size at all! My previous notebook the pages were thinner and ink would bleed through but these are thick enough that doesn't happen. Overall very happy!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Fits my notebook nicely Writing ability: Lined pages Notebook quality: spiral bound opens 180 degree Carryability: easy

Love the cream colour and smoothness of the paper. Looking to get others.

At £9.99 for 640 A5 pages (320 sheets) , these 4 notebooks are excellent value for money. The paper is very fountain pen friendly with no bleed-through and a smooth, but not glossy surface. Paper colour is a pleasing very pale cream rather than brilliant white. I ordered 4 notebooks with lined pages and - in spite of the 'random' warning - that is what I received in 4 different colours. The 36 'sticky note' coloured tabs are a useful bonus. Unless you want perforated pages there is no better notebook IMO (& I have tried Rhodia, Oxford Optik & Cambridge)

These are really nice notebooks. Very good for the price. I would buy these again.

Ideal, using to keep track of sewing projects, the ring binding makes it so easy. No more folding back pages and loosing the page you want. Quickly delivered in A1 condition.

I bought a pack of four of these at a discount price of £2.00 each at that price they are superb value. I see the price is usually around £7.50. I would never buy one of these at that price they are just not that good. What I like: The paper is of a good weight at 100GSM. And the paper has a robust feel to it, a nice stiffness, but not as stiff as some quality 80GSM papers. The lines are feint. And the notebook overall feels robust enough. Fountain pen inks (and I have tried a few in it) do not bleed of feather. They also shade fairly well, but not the best. There is no bleed through whatsoever. The paper is off white but still shows the true fountain pen ink colour. Things I do not like: My pens have all had work done on the nibs to reduce feedback and some are very polished and smooth on the paper indeed. With those nibs that write with a glassy smoothness I get a feeling of friction with this paper and a rather delightful yet loud pen on paper sound. Wish my nibs that have slight feedback I get much more feedback. I think if a feed-backy nib or one that is prone to being a little scratchy were used on this paper it would not be a pleasant experience at all. THIS IS NOT PREMIUM PAPER, but it's OK'ish The PVC cover - We need to get away from plastics and a card or craft paper cover would feels so much nicer in the hand. The notebook has square, not rounded corners and I expect these will suffer curling in due course. The paper is not designated as being from environmentally manged sources. The pages are not perforated. Overall I would not pay any more that £2.00 ea. as there is a famous brand of best quality A5 pads with with premium paper, superior to these, at £2.00 ea if bought as a pack of 20. Were it not for these I would pay a pound or two more for a different quality brand. These are what I might call good quality school pads and I use school in the English sense, I would want better at university. CRITICALLY THEY ARE NOT MARKED AS ACID FREE PAPER. so I would not use one for notes I would want to keep for a long time.
