Review: This is the perfect notebook! - I have no idea how I stumbled on these, but these are my all-time favorite notebooks for work. I am a self-proclaimed notebook, pen, makeup bag, and blanket girlie. I have way too many of all of the above, constantly on the search for the PERFECT one. This is it for me. The pages are smooth so your pen glides. They're thick enough that there's no bleed-through. I love how the pages are set up so I can use it for meeting notes, or just general to-do lists. I love the size. I also love the cover. It's firm enough that I'm not worried about bending it and feel comfortable throwing it in my purse, but it's also not as inflexible or heavy as a hard-cover. It also wipes clean - don't ask, but this has turned out to be important several times. I highly recommend you give this affordable notebook a try if you're like me and need the *perfect* notebook in order to be productive.
Review: Great for fountain pens! - Absolutely phenomenal notebook. The pages are silky smooth and a pleasant white that’s easy on the eyes. I use a fountain pen with mine, and there’s no bleed through or ghosting. Plus, the pages dry quickly enough that smearing isn’t a major concern, which is better than other notebooks I’ve used. My only “complaint” is that I’d prefer a 6mm line spacing or a 6mm dot grid. The 7mm is larger than I normally write, so it feels like I’m wasting page space by using such large line spacing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many sheets in this notebook?**
A: 80 sheets. It's thick, coated paper (great for fountain pens), so you should be able to write on both the front and back sides of each sheet with no bleed-through.

**Q: What is the height of the rules? Is it 7mm or 8mm?**
A: I measure rules at precisely 7mm.

**Q: Wondering how is everyone using it**
A: I used other notebooks for notes at work. I bought this specific one for tracking Rummy scores between my wife and I.

**Q: How fountain pen friendly is it when compared to a moleskine notebook?**
A: Very fountainpen friendly! I primarily use a lot of steel flex pens that not only deposit a lot of ink but also carves pretty heavily into the page. This paper works very well in minimal to no bleeding and ghosting. Absorbs ink well and showcases a decent amount of sheen/shading

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite notebook, hands down!
*by A***R on November 20, 2025*

This is an excellent notebook. I am about 3/4 of the way through this notebook so far, so I feel like I can say some things about it. The cover is very durable and holds its shape well. The paper has worked great with every pen I have used on it, from felt tips to fountain pens. I write on both sides and very little shows through with most pens, although there is some visible marking on the back page with certain inks. I love the off-white color of the paper; it's nice to look at and not stark white. The binding is excellent and has held up to a lot of use; I constantly flip back through my notes and the pages have remained easy to turn and smooth. Pages are perforated and easy to tear out if needed. I like the line spacing and the lightness of the lines themselves. I throw this in my computer bag and it has not wrapped, the edges are still nice looking as well. Honestly I can't fault this at all; I will be repurchasing it, if not stocking up.
