Black n' Red Notebook, Business Journal, 9-7/8" x 6-7/8", 70 Sheets, Ruled, Optik Paper, Scribzee App, Hardcover, Wirebound, Black (400110532)

Great notebook. The size is perfect.. The paper is high quality-fountain pen ink does not bleed through and does not ghost. Only negative: would appreciate more paper.

Have used these for 2 decades, great for meetings and fantastic paper quality. Cover and back are super protective.

I love these books, I have larger writing and the line spacing accommodates. There is no bleed through even with gel black pens! The cover is of great quality and the pages do not rip out easily! I will keep buying these for work!

I use it for class notes in college. I write with fountain pens, and don't get any bleeding even with the wettest pens. Very minimal ghosting too. Pros: - Paper quality is excellent!!! Works great with fountain pens. - Feels smooth/luxurious and a real pleasure to write on. - Heavy/thick paper (24 lb) really stands up to abuse. - Folds backward: opens completely to fit on the tiny little fold-out desks they have in lecture halls. - Hard cover: allows me to use it almost like a clipboard, leaning against the edge of the desk to get a better angled surface for more comfortable writing. Cons (mostly subjective): - Not enough pages! I burn through one of these every 3-4 weeks for my college notes. - Ruled lines are a bit too wide for me. More like wide-ruled than college-ruled. - Kind of heavy due to the hard cover. - Perforations are a bit difficult to tear out. If I could get one of these with a dot grid ruling and 2-3x the number pages, that would be just about my ideal perfect notebook ever, but ya can't always get what you want... In any case, this is definitely the best notebook I've used BY FAR.

Initial observations about notebooks: very sturdy, properly sized binding so both sides can be written on. Solid covers, front and back. Very white paper, nice feel, works very well with a fountain pen (Pilot Metropolitan, fine, with Noodles Eel Black ink and Iroshizuku Deep Green). No visible bleed through so far. Nice to write on. Follow up: fountain pen ink takes some time to fully dry, longer than with other papers. There is a slight tendency to smudge. The paper works very well with Lanier 9000 series ballpoint pen refills.

You will never want a different spiral. The hardback on this one allows you to write anywhere without the use of a desk or table. The double spirals in the edge keep the paper in tact. I’ve never had a sheet accidentally rip out. The paper is excellent quality. This spiral is very sturdy, unlike the flimsy ones at the department store. A little more expensive, but it will last… and looks very professional.

I first purchased the Black n' Red hardcover casebook notebook and instantly fell in love with the thick, smooth, matte-finish paper! However, the binding of this casebook version created issues for me and so I stumbled on this one. Opposite to the sewn in pages of the casebook, this spiral version allows you to rip out pages effortlessly (perforations included) and turn pages with ease. While the main feature of the notebook is the fantastic paper quality, other features include a hard front and back cover that easily folds backward and wide ruled lines. One possible downside - which I don't mind because I like thin notebooks but wanted to point out - is that each notebook only has 70 pages. High-quality paper notebooks are my weakness and have therefore tried many in the past so I can confidently say that you really won't regret purchasing this notebook!

I just ordered my first black n' red notepad and this is now my new favorite notebook. This is a top of the line notebook. The front/back covers are a hard cover. The paper is good weight and the . The spiral is a heavier gauge wire and doubled (hard to see from picture it's doubled). Overall the notebook feels well put together. There is also a reference page as the first page (time zone map and some world measurement conversions)--not a big deal but a nice touch. From looks: it is a very attractive notebook and should be no issues for business use. The ad insert tears away. The notebook does not look cheap. A very nice feature is the spiral binding and covers work perfectly together. The note book lies flat and flush on a desk either closed, opened to two pages, or the front cover folded back so opened to only one page. Now the cons: I originally ordered this notebook as a refill for a leather notebook. However, the thickness of the spiral/cover makes this not a good refill as it is obviously intended as a standalone. Second, with the 1/2 sheet paper size, the standard rule seems a little big. Would have preferred something closer to college rule.
