These are really nice matte covered notebooks. I am happy with my purchaseWasn't quite sure what I was going to get when I ordered these very reasonably priced notebooks, but they are perfectly fine. I measured the cover size at 5-11/16" x 8-5/16", with a smooth matt but brightly and attractively colored texture. Slightly flexible and marks easily. Paper is advertised at 100 gsm, and it may be, but it is on the thin side for fountain pen writing and you get the type of mild ghosting I usually associate with 80 gsm paper. Bleed is well controlled. Not as pretty as it could be but usable and I've come across worse paper in Moleskine notebooks. Line height is 5/16" which I actually prefer for writing to narrower ruling. 80 sheets per book as advertised, binding is satisfactory. Book comes with an elastic closure ribbon, page marking ribbon and an elastic pen holder, something I really appreciate. No inside cover pocket at front or back, something I do not miss. For general ball point pen writing these are excellent, fountain pen users should be aware of the slight ghosting issue. The set of 14 books came well-packaged and in excellent condition.Good product. Great product for printingLoved that the lines in these were a little wider than college ruled, which is nicer for writing in cursive/italics. The ruled lines aren’t too obtrusive or dark either. I immediately tested one with my fountain pens, and it worked pretty well for most of them as long as the nib wasn’t too broad or flow too wet. Anything with medium-flow and up to a medium nib should work OK with no real feathering, bleed-through and very minimal to no ghosting depending on ink used. I also loved that these aren’t too thick as I hate the way my fingers cramp up when trying to deal with the drop-off as I get to the bottom of each page and am still struggling to keep my writing neat. Great value for so many books which will last me quite a few years of daily journalling. Love that they have an elastic pen holder and page marker ribbon. Wish the pages were numbered, but that’s OK.It was to give away in a camp and it’s amazingThe colors are perfect for the whole family to share. One of the pen holders slipped out but it went back in with super glue. The durability is good for this price point. I will be ordering these again! I use one color for personal and one for church. The other colors were perfect to share.
