AHGXG Graph Paper Notebook Spiral 2 Pack - Large B5 Grid Notebook 7.3"X 10", 100GSM Thick Graph Grid Paper, Quad Ruled, Total 320 Pages, Transparent Plastic Hardcover Journal

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.

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.

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.

Great notebook. A bit smaller than the five stars but its fine. The dots make it easy to write straight while making it look like its a white sheet of paper. Giving it a neater look.

First off, this notebook is awesome, the size is great, the dots are clear and even from page to page, fine tip markers do not bleed through the pages (even to the just the backside of the page), and the sturdy front and back clear covers can take a beating. The one issue is the spiral binding, it comes apart easily - not that it's very hard to get you pages back in. If dropped the wrong way, or constantly moved in and out of a backpack, the spine is not super durable. However, if you use it as I do, on a desk for a bullet journal, this bad boy is awesome.

I've been using this for work for a few weeks now, and it is amazing. How I Use It: For work. I use it sort of like a bullet journal, but I do a full two-page spread every day. So on one side, I put all of my tasks for the day, as well as an hour-by-hour breakdown that I can fill in. Then I use the right side to record notes from any meetings I go to that day/ notes on any projects I'm working on that day. May seem like a bit much, but it keeps everything together, and I can easily flip back a few pages to see what my action items were from past meetings, etc. Every daily work planner I looked at was close to what I wanted, but not quite right. So finally, I just decided to get a blank notebook and do it myself. What I Love It's sleek and professional-looking, so I feel great taking it to meetings. The grid lines are perfect for spacing everything out and help me make straight lines. The paper is thick enough for markers and calligraphy pens (although permanent marker does seep through). It's sturdy and thick and I haven't had any problem with pages ripping, the plastic cover cracking, etc. I mark my place with a small binder clip. I guess it would be nice to have it come with a bookmark, but the binder clip works great and is cute. The paper is a really pretty, creamy ivory color so it's very aesthetically pleasing. I get so excited to make my daily spread every morning and plan my day! Definitely an improvement in my work life.

These are nice, basic dot journals. The pages aren't art paper, so they WILL bleed if you use something a super-wet pen or a sharpie marker. For my purposes, they work beautifully. I don't need fancy, but I do need sturdy - they hold up b/c the clear covers are thick and protective. The rings are doubled on each hole, so they don't do any weird bending or strange coming off. I do wish there was an option to pay a touch more and have thicker paper, but for a regular notebook/journal/etc, these are perfectly serviceable and no frills. Something I've realized since my first purchase: it's hard to find a BASIC (not ridiculous, pre-printed or overly "designed") dot notebook like this. I use them for everything - Language journals, designing memory palaces, lists, etc. Honestly, these are my favorite find in a year.
