Once upon a time, I had a really pretty and super nice A&O bujo for my journaling (I'm trying to manage my stress the way I did as a kid with a diary). That book had super thick paper, 180 GSM at least, and tri-colored pages (white, kraft, and black). A&O, sadly, no longer makes those books. I like their new covers, but at the time I got this, I had no funding for a brand new A&O. I looked for a 160 GSM, and that's what I am here for: this has 160 GSM paper, it's thick and solid and when I used my Tombow pens to write a quote page... in calligraphy, so thick strokes, there was no bleed through (I used a purple pen with the brush tip).I use Gelly Roll pens for the interior, and those don't bleed. I have NOT tested my Stablio highlighters (they are fairly watery) or my midliners yet, but I think this is a very good sign that the paper holds up to Tombow. The one downside: not very many pages, less than your usual bujo book you can buy elsewhere. The cover is nice too, and I love the pen loop (you can buy those on here too, but I prefer that my books have them for when I travel). Gorgeous little book, seems durable and the pages are nice. I just wish there were more pages, but at this price, I can't really complain.I recommend this item if you're in a pinch for a notebook. The color options are nice. I just went for a standard black.

These are great little notebooks. They arrived shrink wrapped together and in great condition.They are hardbound so they have a sturdy feel to them. They have an elastic enclosure to keep them closed. And, a super-plus is that they they come with a pocket on the back page. In addition, they have a designated place for both a page number and the date at the top of each page, which are college ruled.Another very handy feature is that there is a bookmark ribbon attached. You don't have to search through a heavily used pocket book to find the next page to write on. The ribbon is just long enough to stick out about an inch on the bottom of the book.On the cover-page (which is made of sturdier paper than the rest), there is a place for your name, phone number, email, and address. Should you ever lose your book, it has a chance of making its way back to you. Of course, it's also a risk to keep that much information about yourself in one place. But if you are more worried about the contents of the book than you are the security of your life, then that is probably a risk you are willing to take.The features of this little book don't stop here. Lastly, there is also a pen/pencil holder attached to the last page. You will never have to search for one because this can keep it all in one space.If I were to be any cons, I would say that the paper is a bit on the light side. It feels more like the weight of cheap printer paper. But honestly, for my purposes, I don't need a heavier paper because I use mine to store passwords. It's small enough to tuck away out of site, which is exactly what I was looking for. Also if it contained heavier paper, it would be thicker and less portable if you wanted it to take it with you. But honestly, if you wanted a high quality book, you wouldn't be shopping for a budget book on Amazon.Would I buys these again? In a heart-beat! They really are unexpectedly good quality for the money I spent.

The 4 dots per inch spacing is very practical! I would prefer the dots be lighter but looking back at the photos, it is as advertised. I was also somewhat disappointed in the Cyan color which matches well in yellow light, but it's a touch more turquoise in sunlight (still closer to cyan than turquoise).The binding does not feel great, but I only paid $6, so I would give it 4-1/2 stars if I could.Otherwise it is great! The paper is thick enough that I can write on both sides with a gel pen. The lay-flat binding feels like it will last well-enough for me to easily fill the journal. The bookmark ribbon, the pen loop, and the elastic band (closure) are all very handy (essential). I haven't used the pocket in the back yet. I plan to put some paper scraps in it for non journal-worthy ideas or giving to others. I suspect the adhesive is not full strong enough to jam it full, so if you intend to keep receipts in it (for example), then plan on processing them somewhat frequently or getting a separate folder.

I bought this journal after looking at other reviews that mentioned fountain pens. I was looking to get a cheap journal for a friend with a new pen, and this one did the trick! The cover is a hard textured plasticky material. It has thick paper that showed sheen in Birmingham Pen Co. Neutron Star and shimmer in Diamine Tempest. I used a Lamy broad and a Pilot broad to write the sample shown. A little bit of ghosting but no bleed through. At 128 pages, this notebook is on the shorter side, but it's quite good for the price.
