- Dotted Bullet Grid Journal 2 Pack - A5 Dot Grid Notebook Softcover, Medium 5.75'' × 8.38'', 320 Numbered Pages, 120gsm Thick Dotted Paper, Soft Leather Cover (Black Green)

I use moleskine notebooks - and they’re a bit pricey but have a good reputation. These books are a very reasonable price, and are very Very nice books from the multitudes of notebooks I’ve used. The cover is nice quality, has a pocket in the back. The dual ribbons is a great touch, numbered pages, table of contents in the front. If you’re an artist these are good books. Not noticed any smear from when the books are closed. Ink works nicely on them and you don’t have to worry about bleed through when using both sides of the page. Plus the dots aren’t visible once you’re getting near the end of the drawing. Any artists curious if you should buy the dual notebook pack - do it. My moleskine is now my prelim/ journal and this book is where I transfer more progressed drawings to. Would have preferred to be able to select the two different colored books because I wanted green and not the black but doesn’t really matter. The photos show the quality great. The cover overlaps the pages so the pages don’t bend at the edges. Didn’t like the color of the paper at first but it’s grown on me.

My first Journals. I like them very much. They feel good and look good too. Pages are thick enough for pen writing.

I was very pleasantly surprised by binding and paper quality. Plus, the wrapper says it makes a “decent gift”! Caveat: none

Covers are of good quality and they fold nicely for those of us who junk journal or like some flex to be able to write accordingly. would definatly buy again.

When I first received these notebooks I was pleasantly surprised. First, you're getting 2 notebooks, each with 160 dotted pages (80 sheets each) for less than $20. Second, the quality of the paper is very nice and smooth. I am a pencil person, but have my share of pens and markers. With most of the pens I tested, (Zebra Name Pen, Pigma Microns, Staedtler Chisel tip Pigment Liner, and various Uni and Zebra gel pens), I experienced zero feathering, absolutely no bleeding, and very little ghosting only with the densest of pens. The paper is thick and very smooth, and the dot grid is a nice light grey on semi-off-white cream paper. Not a yellowish cream, but a subtle off-white that is very nice. The quality of the book itself, is yet to be fully determined. But the overall feel is solid, the stitching is good and the book lies completely flat, which is nice for a soft cover. I previously learned that it's important to take a new notebook and open it in small sections to make sure the book "remembers" to open fully. The pages are numbered, which is something you don't see often, and there is of course a table of contents. There is an envelope in the back cover, which is actually made from cardboard but with silky fabric sides, which IMO seems to add stability. Inside the envelope there is a set of plastic stencils, (nice but not really a big deal to me). There are two page ribbons in different colors, and an elastic closure. One con so far (minor to me) would be the "feel" of the leather-like material. I can't describe it, it's very cushioned, but ripply at the left side. At the same time, I like that it has "grip", so it's not necessarily a con, but some elitists might not like it. These are not sketchbooks/ marker papers/ or specialty writing papers, these are all-purpose, notebooks for the average person using a variety of writing instruments. Bottom line. You're getting 2 really high quality notebooks (in terms of what they're designed for, function) for a little over $15. It really makes me cringe now when I see these brand names selling at ridiculous mark-ups due to social media and what not. I am not sure if this company makes a larger size, but would love to buy this in various sizes.

These are amazing!! Absolutely NO bleed through with a fountain pen which is very appreciated seeing as I can read every word written on the back of a moleskin page lol.

Pros: -Definitely the price, you get good quality notebooks for a good price - dots are not to big or dark, but also not to light. -5 mm grid - most impressive at this price point, all dots are aligned the same on each page! As somebody who likes to draw grids and trackers, it’s great. You don’t need to adjust your layout to the left or right or even loose a grid - Stich binding, with minimal guidance the pages lay flat, the once that are glued need a bit more guidance Cons - the paper is super smooth (A con due to personal preference, I like it when a notebook feels like a book) - I don’t think it is 120 gsm, mildliner & stabilo fine point have minimal bleed through, crayola pens show ghosting on the back of the page But overall a great notebook, especially for this price, that’s why I still gave it 5 stars (Don’t expect a Mercedes, when you don’t pay for one ;))

Have been using these notebooks for several years and they hold up great! Well-bound and the paper is thick enough for pen and highlighter to not bleed through.
