YansanidoSpiral Notebook, 3 Pcs A5 Thick Plastic Translucent Frosting Hardcover Dot Paper 80 Sheets -160 Pages Journals for Study and Notes (A5 5.7" x 8.3"-Dot Grid 3pcs)

El material es excelente 👍🏻

I love these for my school and work note-taking. I Use Frixion pens, and the paper doesn't tear or scar. The color is great on the eyes; I wish more notebooks would abandon the bright white. I don't use the strap as it prevents the notebook from lying flat. I found a big enough rubberband to use instead.

I wanted a notebook for my annual year review and next year goal planning. I couldn't find a blank one with spiral bounding (which is important if you need to rip a page out) so I went with this one hoping the "dots" on the dot grid weren't too intrusive and it's great - the dots are light, the paper is nice (not too heavy - but not flimsy like notebook paper), and the spiral bounding is sturdy. The only issue was the divider/ placeholder thing was broken but getting two of these notebooks for this price - totally worth it.

I bought these as I work better with dotted paper, and need a pack of larger than A5 paper. These come in a pack of four, each with a bookmark string. The paper is thick and doesn't bleed with most of my supplies. Works very well for my English class, and has thicker paper than a five-star dotted notebook.

Context: I use fountain pens frequently and needed notebooks with paper resistant to bleeding. Dot grid paper is my preference for switching between Western and Eastern scripts.The Yansanido B5 dot grid notebook set was the answer to my problem. At the price I paid (16.99 USD), this four-pack offered the most square inches of paper per dollar among a number of notebook packs advertised to have 100 gsm paper.As a whole, the notebook is nice to handle. The plastic covers are stiff enough to keep the writing surface relatively flat in the absence of a table. The wire binding isn't spiraled, and I find it less cumbersome to flip through the pages than typical spiral notebooks.Included with the notebook is a fabric-sheathed elastic band with thin metal crimps on the ends that slot into holes on the back cover, to act as a closure when stretched around both covers. It works quite well to keep the notebook from opening, but since the crimps sit on the inside of the cover, I'm worried they will impress the paper over time. A few sheets were already impressed with the cord since it was packaged underneath the cover, in fact.My biggest criticism with the notebook unfortunately lies with the paper. Indeed, the sheets feels thicker than those of both my Office Depot notebook and the Rhodia dot pad it's intended to replace. However, the paper is somewhat more absorbent than those previously mentioned. It works well with my fountain brush pen, but I find a few stray spots of bleed-through during normal writing with fountain pens and even my Pilot G2 refill. "Ghosting" (or show-through) is also visible. I'd hesitate to write the paper off as low-quality, but I was hoping the performance would be a just a little bit better.Should you get it? If it's exactly the kind of notebook you're looking for, I think the four-pack is a solid value, but I would caution fountain pen users if they're particularly picky about bleeding or ghosting. I personally don't find it too bothersome and intend to use these notebooks for what I originally purchased them for.

The paper quality is high. You are enjoying when you write on it.

The cover is thick & sturdy. The pages are thick enough that most markers do not bleed through.

I have purchased these notebooks repeatedly over the last several years. I have about 15 at this point. The most recent order arrived with very sharp corners. Previously all the corners were rounded, but the newest one were not. I noticed the sharp edges when they stabbed my hand.Will look for different notebooks in the future.
