Simply Genius4 Pack A5 Lined Hardcover Notebooks, 192 pages, 8x6x.75, Writing Journal for Work, Travel, Business, School & More, Lined Notebook for Men & Women - Gray

A bargain and useful and pretty...a great value; has a page marker ribbon and a closure strap plus the paper is sturdy enough for me to write on both sides of the page....I have one suggestion....I wish you offered a multi colored pack...

The problems are:1) The glue kind of seeps out onto the end papers (both front and back). Not a huge deal but the first and last pages don't lie flat.2) Some reviewers say this paper does not bleed or ghost. WRONG, it DOES bleed through and it DOES ghost. Basically, you can't write on the back side of each page unless you use a very quick drying ink with an extra fine pen point. I suppose that if you use only ball point pen you'd be fine. But for a fountain pen, it is still wise to spend the big bucks on the higher quality paper of Rhodia, Clairefontaine, or Tomoe River.

Great quality. People at the office thought these were Moleskine. Just as nice, at a fraction of the price. Perfect size to carry or tuck into a backpack. Color selection is a neat way to customize.

Great journal! High quality hard back with plenty of pages. Revieved one as a gift and just had to buy more. Great as is or to add vinyl on the cover.

Great notebooks at a great price. Paper is thick and not very see through. I don't love super thick pages for taking notes as it seems wastef, so this thickness is ideal. Ink for the most part doesn't bleed through the pages, though sharpie definitely does. Cover is a nice texture and the navy is a great shade. I go through these constantly at work and this is a good price. Easy to carry and lightweight without being insubstantial .

I recently saw where a family kept a journal for each member of the family and wrote notes for each other for holidays and birthdays instead of doing cards and I just loved the idea since it's something you can really hang onto. So, I bought this little bundle to start our family journals. They are perfect size and really sturdy - they'll definitely hold up over the years.

I love these. The covers feel great, it comes with a bookmark, it also has a little file at the back of the book and there is also an elastic band so if you want to open to a specific page you have that (this is in addition to the bookmark). When I use these ones up I will definitely be buying more.

Great pack of notebooks. I like the elastic band to hold it closed & the ribbon bookmark. Great for keeping in my car or throwing in my purse. Holds up well.
