Dotted Luxury Notebook - 2-pack

This is a regular notebook size, the dimensions are exactly what the details mention. Another commenter said the book was "tiny" and I can only imagine they'd gotten the wrong product. Every page is perforated, meaning that you can tear out every page of the book. The perforations are good, they are strong enough to just be a regular page, but you can go out of your way to bend them a bit and tear them out cleanly. The page quality itself is good and I didn't find any bleed through at all. The texture of the cover is great as it has some grip to it. It'll be my mainstay notebook for the foreseeable future. Also, I have both the lined and the dotted versions. The dotted version is good, you can actually see the dots.

Love these. Pages are thick and so far I have not experienced any bleed even when using markers. Dots are a little light for me but it’s a quality product. I did have a concern about the cover getting dirty (I have the pink cover) but I’ve had no problem keeping it clean. Would buy again.

I got these as I'm always on the look out for good notebooks to use with my fountain pens. I saw they are 120 gsm and they claim they are no-bleed paper. That immediately peaked my interest. I've really taken a liking to dot grid paper as it gives you the benefits of graph paper without the lines and the benefit of lines without the lines. They are 8.27" x 5.79". They have an embossed black leatherette soft cover with a faux fabric texture. They have 130 pages of 120 gsm paper with a 5mm spaced dot grid. 5mm is a good distance for you to pick your own line width when writing. The paper is a slightly off white color. There is a sturdy rear folder pocket with fabric side hinges. Finally they have a a dual ribbon bookmark, which seems a bit excessive at first. If you like to use bookmarks and you are like me, and you write in different sections of the notebook at one time, multiple books marks could be very handy. They have an elastic band to hold the book closed. It is neither too tight nor loo loose. Also they are easy tear perforated pages. While they are definitely easy tear, I think they possibly went too far. The pages bend and flex along the perforations quite easily. So much that I think it could lead to accidental tearing out of pages. I wasn't able to see any feathering of the ink and the bleed through was very minimal, but not no-bleed as they claim. I tested the no-bleed claim with four different fountains and nib sizes and with four different inks. I only tested up to medium sized nibs, nothing bigger or more broad. In this test, nib size seemed to have no effect on bleed through as I used two fine nibs from different manufacturers and different inks. The Private Reserve and Noodlers bottled inks showed no signs of bleed through at all. However the Dryden Designs cartridge ink and Monteverde bottle inks showed very faint bleed through as can be seen in my second picture. The paper is also nice and smooth, not catching on any of the nibs. Over all they seem very comparable to other more premium brands of paper. While not top of line paper, it is very good. I would not be upset purchasing these again at their current price.

I had purchased the Papercode lined notebokks some months ago and found them to be very good overall. These dot grid books are similiar, but leave something to be desried. The paper hold up fine to most fountain pen ink, but one of the bookmarks and the elastic band both came loose within days. I had not even used the notebooks, just the fact that I moved the bookmark caused it to pull loose. The same with the eleastic band, I removed the band to write in the boo and one end popped loose. The size is good, the paper quality is very decent, but the construction of the notebook seems to be susbstandard, unless I just got a dud.

Easy to write on, no smearing. The right size for note taking, journaling or anything. Easy to tear out.
