Lined Spiral Notebook 8.5 x 11 | 2 Pack 200+200 A4 Lay Flat Pages | Hardcover College Ruled Notebooks | Smooth 100gsm Ink-Proof Paper | Daily Writing Journal for Work & Study

These are perfect for taking college notes with fountain pens: thick, durable pages that do not bleed through even with my wetter inks, with large and numerous pages. I did not even make it half way through one binder with one semester's note's worth from my assigned chapters (Results may vary.) I love that the cover is biodegradable, yet still durable and classy. I will definitely buy more.

these notebooks are kind of expensive but I’ll keep buying them. they’re excellent quality - I use stabilo pens for writing and the ink does not leak through the paper, so I can fill up the entire notebook. I just love the look and feel of these. they’re excellent for writing and journaling.

I recently got into fountain pens for my creative writing, but I soon realized they don't work with cheap notebooks. There are a lot of fancy brands that get bandied about when you look for paper to use with fountain pens, but they all came in small amounts of pages, smaller sizes, or weird line setups (at least from what I could find on amazon, not any convenient stationary stores around me). Then I found this listing. The notebooks are sturdy, and the cardboard looks fine. When I started writing I ended up filling a whole page before I even knew it. No bleedthrough at all, ink looked great (I had picked up a bottle of Noodler's Baystate Blue and this was the first time I really started to see the color the way I had seen it in reviews). Paper feel was good too! Not frictionless where my pen flies all over the place, but not rough...just enough that my pen flowed where I wanted it without getting out of control. Ultimately these were good notebooks for a good price. I will certainly be buying more in the future.

I got this pack of notebooks for taking notes at work. I use it daily. It came exactly as advertised and is true to size. The notebook did lay flat to begin with. I'm only about halfway through the first one, however, and the spiral has come off track somehow, which creates the annoying bumpy part where the paper isn't quite aligned correctly. I was able to get it back on track, see first picture. The paper is thick, a light tan/yellowish color, and feels nice to write on. It works fine with all pen types that I've used, including gel pens. The pages have dotted lines rather than solid lines, which I think it's a nice touch. Because the paper is so thick, I have managed to get paper cuts from the long edge of the notebook when I've accidentally nudged it with the back of my hand or knuckle. The front and back of the notebooks are made of thick stock, which keeps it's shape and shows no signs of wear aside from the spiral, even through being transported along for work trips, meetings and trainings. While I can appreciate the quality and experience, I'm giving 4 stars due to the issue with the spiral, combined with the price being a bit high. I'd give 4.5 if it was an option. I've included a picture of the spiral after I got it put back together, and a comparison of a page of the notebook vs. a piece of white printer paper.

The weight of the paper is great without being overly heavy or thick, nice texture too. The color of the pages is slightly yellow, which I like. The lines are tiny dots, which I also like. Sturdy rings holding nicely. I would say this is a quality note pad, would buy again :)

Recycled AND Fountain Pen Friendly? These are my dream notebooks - I love them love them love them!!

I write for both personal and work purposes and I’ve always focused on the quality of my pens but I did not pay much attention to the paper quality. I decided to try these notebooks based off of the great reviews and was not disappointed. The quality is top-notch. The notebook is aesthetically nice to look at, very sturdy, a bit heavy and the pages are smooth with a bit of weight to them which helps with ink bleeding. Various pens work well. I would repurchase in the future.

I have purchased these a few times. We use them in our office. Great quality, sturdy covers, paper is heavy enough to handle multiple touches. Great value. Will continue to purchase for notes.

These are perfect. Pages are thick and the binding is good quality. No complaints!

Hard to find good quality/ thick paper now. looked in stores and couldn't find anything that compares to these note books. Ink doesn't show on other side & books are a great size for university courses.

Paper very easy to write on with a fountain pen
