Exceptionally smooth-coated, heavy-weight paper of a type that is hard to find
I'm using this notebook for technical diagrams in pen, and although it's a more expensive choice, I have yet to find another wire-bound grid/dot-formatted notebook with comparable 120-gsm coated paper. I previously tried a couple of other highly rated (less expensive) brands, such as Miliko and Zengest, which both advertised paper quality, but in terms of smoothness, thickness, and opacity, I found Think's to be far superior. For non-paper-related journal features, like cover material and elastic closure, the other two are arguably better, but since my only concern was the paper texture/quality, that's the basis for my 5-star rating. The upshot is that I use the other notebooks to brainstorm rough ideas, but I transcribe my final plans in here.

Excellent paper quality & nice double coil binding!
Really happy with this notebook so far. The paper is great quality. I did a bleed test with various art supplies. A black sharpie marker is slightly visible on the other side of the papers. A dark Copic marker is clearly visible. This paper is not marker paper, so I expected that. However, I was very impressed that no Copic ink bled through to the second sheet in the notebook. Tombow markers don't show at all, and there is zero buckling. This could be used for a bullet journal or a sketchbook. The dot grid is easily visible but unobtrusive. I will definitely buy this notebook again!

Fantastic Quality all around
I’ve used so many sketchbooks over the years and I could not believe the quality of this. The paper it’s insanely smooth and the overall build quality of the cover + spiral bound is fantastic. Paper weight is great, I prefer a thicker paper as I use copic markers a lot. Markers with bleed through the other side of the sheet but pens like Pigma Micron’s will not. It’s hard finding a good quality dotted sketchbook but this is it. Will be buying again and recommend you do too!

3mm Dot spacing
The spacing of the dots make this notebook a better choice for me. Dot spacing is 3mm vs the action method like many that are 4mm. I've added a picture for comparrison

Wish they were cheaper. Won’t buy again
Love this notebook and would love to buy more but unfortunately an $18 notebook is absurd. I found other dotted journals same size for 1/3 the price. Was not quite the same quality but I wouldn’t spend more than $10 on this notebook again.

Great!
The paper is thick, dots are the perfect shade (not too light not too dark). I've had it for a while now and the coils are starting to get messed up, but not too badly. Pens don't bleed through, and I LOVE how the paper is true white, not off white. Smooth to write on and very clean looking :)

Utilitarian choice
The notebook lays flat & is easy to fold over. The cover is black with a think icon near a corner. The notebook is easily wiped should you accidentally put a cup on it. The paper is thick enough to prevent bleed through at 100# . The dot grid is lightly printed on the page which is a bit annoying but it’s not a fault just personal preference. Honestly it’s not a pretty notebook to look at but it is a great utilitarian option. Overall the notebook is a good option & priced right.

Thick pages!!
This is great! Sturdy cover, paper is thick and sturdy, I used gel pens with 0 bleed through- you can’t tell at all if there is something written or drawn on the back of the page

Fantastic Paper!
The paper quality is amazing. Only alcohol markers and sharpies bleed through and almost nothing ghosts. Spiral binding could be a bit more heavy duty, but that’s me being super picky. It is slightly shorter than A4 but all in all fantastic!

Strange form factor. The light grey dots are near invisible so wont Photocopy or be visible to eyes over 40yo!
Love it.Strange form factor.The light grey dots are near invisible so wont Photocopy or be visible to eyes over 40yo!The paper quality and thickness are substantial.If you are planning a new Project/Product this is perfect.The price suggests is not to every day use, but for something special.Goes really well with Rotring pens which lay a deep, definite, pigmented black ink to the page. Rotring Tikky Graphic Fineliner Set 0.20mm, 0.40mm, 0.80mm (Blister of 3) Not that suitable for text heavy use (a novel) unless its a graphic novel where you can set the scene and annotate it (then perfect).

Overpriced
Overpriced. It’s a basic notebook you can get as good in the supermarket for £1. Only difference this has very faint regular dots rather than lined or plain. Bought for my daughter at her request for a bullet jounnal but very overpriced at £15

Fab for graphic designers
I am very happy with my new Creoly dot grid notebook! As a graphic designer, I'd been looking for a decent one for a while and this hasn't disappointed. The paper is of good quality with no ink show-through, the ring binding is great as I can lay the book flat (and tear pages out easily) and there are plenty of pages so it should last a while. It's been great for me planning out logo designs and wireframes/layouts. Highly recommended to other creative types.

Very high quality notebook
Paper quality is very good. Ideal for writing with fountain pen. The dot layout helps the drawing of diagrams.
