Amazon Basics Professional Hardcover Writing Journal for Journaling and Note Taking, Sturdy, Perforated Pages, 10.5 x 7.5 inches, Black, 2-Pack

These feel like nice quality notebooks despite the cheap price. They look nicer than dollar store notebooks and hold up better too. Great for the value! Great for journaling or note taking, which we’ve done both with these. They’re obviously easy to use because they’re notebooks. I wouldn’t say they full lay flat though. Would order again.

Grandma life means keeping track of everything — appointments, school events, grocery lists, and the million little reminders that keep a family running. This journal is perfect for it all. It looks professional enough for meetings, but practical for everyday life. The paper is nice and thick (no bleed-through!), and it holds up beautifully being tossed in and out of my bag. From to-do lists to quiet journaling moments with my morning coffee, this one’s a keeper. 💛

Great value and quality. no bleed through with gel pens. opens like a book, easy to write in, i do wish the pages were a smidge thicker. nice black canvas cover, bone white pages, lays flat, nice feel overall- better than expected, esp for the price.

I have been a big fan of Amazon’s brand when it comes to their smaller sized hardcover journals. Let’s talk about the phenomenal packaging! These two hardcover notebooks come in sturdy and protective packaging. Excellent and well thought-out. Protected from bending and moisture. This journal surprised me a bit. Pages are thin/feel cheap compared to their smaller hardcover journals (much thicker paper, but priced the same as these). Not a deal breaker. If you’re archiving stuff, maybe use a nicer thickness paper journal. But… it is nice these use acid free paper. And when I use my Pilot G-2 gel pens and Uniball Signo 207 pens there is no bleed thru. That’s what matters to me. Nice that the pages are perforated. If you make a mistake can cleanly tear it out without messing up the spine. At $10-11, these are a great value. If they went up to $16 there are better contenders out there to consider. My suggestion: if you like these, order in bulk to avoid price swings. I manually counted the sheets in my notebook (as of Nov-2025): 168 lined sheets (336 pages to write on). 1 blank sheet at beginning. 1 blank sheet at end.

I have purchased $20 Lab books that are equivalent to these five dollar books that were sent. The binding is strong and the pages are thick. I’m beyond happy with these notebooks. I’m thinking about buying a bunch for this Christmas gift gifts lol

These note pads are exactly what I wanted. A step up from a college ruled note book. Works easy and great for writing. The pages have tear away lines already pre punched if you want to take the pages out. The paper quality is great, the spacing for the lines is just right. Great gift idea.

Great product. Thick cover, strong paper. I’d buy again

Perfect, for less money.
