Amazon Basics A5 Classic Notebook, Journal Notepad for Office, School, Home Writing & Note Taking, Squared, 240 Pages, Black

Nice notebook at a good price!

Product works as advertised, it's a blank notebook with a well built exterior that can handle being put in a bag.It has a holder for all sorts of pages in the front underneath what I'd assume to be a stronger paper material flap, very useful for holding scrap notes, a built in bookmark to keep track of where you were, a good choice of paper that feels amazing to write on alongside an elastic band in order to stop the notebook accidentally opening while being transported.Overall, very satisfied with this, look forward to be using this as a daily driver for my notes, reminders and doodles.

I bought this notebook as a one-off purchase as a treat to myself after using cheap £1 jotter books for numerous years. (Along with a new fountain pen, an upgrade to cheap ballpoints).I like the built in page marker and elastic closing that is handy for attaching your pen to. The paper is only 10msg higher quality however this makes a markable difference which is definitely worth the upgrade . I admit the lack of a margin put me off at first though I seem to be able to keep myself aligned.I use this for a fountain pen and please to report there is minimal (if any) feathering and it does not bleed through the page.For the full price of near £7-£8, this is too expensive however. I bought two more on Spring Sale for £5 which is a better price however I will be re-assessing the worth when I am due to buy more books.

Very sturdy, good page count, feel and color.

Good Quality

It's a nice book, well made, good paper and has been good for my record keeping.I have just upgraded though to an A4 pad as this became too small for my needs having to split my records across pages. Nothing wrong with the book, just my record keeping outgrowing it.It will sit on a shelf now with my historic records in, but it served me well for 7 months and if i needed another in this size I'd happily buy Amazonbasics again. But so far I can't think of anything from their own brand that been as described, good quality and long lasting. It's that rep from experience that which made this the option to buy and it hasn't disappointed. I just wish they did an A4 version.

The paper is very thin. Pencil or ballpoint only, otherwise it will show through. Trouble is, it’s too thin and a pen or pencil pushes through easily. It’s low cost and you get what you pay for.

Exactly as stated all good

Good size and it's nice that the notebook is dotted. It has an elastic strap to close it, a string to mark your place in the book, and a pocket at the end of the book to store stuff. The paper is about as thick as your typical printer paper and the cover is sturdy.I bought it when it had a deal so I could write crochet patterns in it, but I think it would also be great for for note-taking or scrapbooking.

Un semplice taccuino da viaggio, con copertina rigida, un elastico per tenero chiuso e alla fine c'è un piccolo spazio per aggiungere piccoli fogli con appunti.Fatto molto bene, resistente e veramente comodo.Se avesse avuto anche un elastico per mettere la penna e una plastica da mettere sotto i fogli per facilitare la scrittura, senza avere il bisogno di poggiarsi (nel caso di chi una stilografica, con tutte le altre penne e matite va benissimo), sarebbe stato comodo, ma penso che per il prezzo che vale, faccia il suo lavoro più che egregiamente.Inoltre, avevo letto che scrivendo su una pagina, restava l'inchiostro visibile sulla pagina sotto e retro: io uso una stilografica con un inchiostro molto marcato, nero, molto scuro, forte e molto visibile...non ha lasciato alcuna macchia o altro né sulla pagina retro e né su quella di sotto.

If you’re looking for a durable blank journal, this product is just the right size and quality.The pages are securely bound, and I’ve never had trouble with loose pages compared with other journals. The blank ivory pages are smooth and easy to write on with different pens and pencils. The classy, black cover is strong but comfortable to hold. The elastic closure protects the pages and an attached ribbon makes it easy to bookmark a page. To make a good thing even better, it would be great to see more cover colors available and a bright white paper option also. Blank journals can be hard to find in stores so this is a gem.

I really liked this book. It was made of faux leather. The binding feels really secure! It closes nicely. Pages are laid out nicely to the binding to where they feel secure! They don’t feel like they’re going to come apart on any moments notice. The pages do bleed through a little bit, but not with general ink.

Very nice to touch and use. Paper is thin so all my pens snd highlighters show through quite easily. Works fine with pencil and colours though. Would recommend for drawing/sketch pad
