Forvencer Lined Spiral Journal Notebook with 300 Numbered Pages, B5 College Ruled Thick Journals for Writing with 100GSM Paper, Hardcover Notebooks with Contents for Work, School, Women, Men, Purple

Thanks to this supplier's product. The only good quality decently priced numbered and spiral available notebook (generally you don't get spiral with numbered pages).

Great for keeping records of each plant in the garden when it comes to taking PPM, PH, and Temp readings. Every page is numbered, has sticky paper for easy finding, and a book marker. Feels sturdy with a hard cover, paper is strong and not thin, preventing ink bleeds, and there's a few content pages at the beginning to find what you are looking for on where each chapter or plant is in the book. Very nicely done.

I am someone who is incredibly picky with my notebooks. I have a list of requirements for my notebooks, and few and far between hit all or most of the marks. As an avid writer who is working on a novel, I actually really like this one! I love that its hard back and spiral bound, and 300 pages is plenty to take your notes and write down story outlines. This would be good for daily journaling too. I particularly like that the pages are plain, nothing too distracting or fancy. I would have loved for the pages to be serrated too to make tearing pages out as needed more neat, but this is still a great notebook.

I love these notebooks. I love that they have so many pages, a necessity for me as a writer and journaler. The quality of the pages and cover are great. The line spacing is good. I like the date feature at the top of each page and the table of contents at the front. They are just well-designed and well-made. I love that they come in so many colors too, so I can use different ones for different purposes and tell them apart at a glance.

I purchased this to use as a journal to use with my fountain pens (I am a fountain pen geek). This paper is WAY too thirsty for fountain pens. Medium pens look like magic marker on this paper and fine nibs look like sloppy medium nibs. Tons of feathering, bleed-through, and your writing looks terrible. It just SUCKS ink out of the pen - it's crazy to watch, actually. I tested the paper with a Pilot G-2 07mm gel pen and it writes just fine. So gel or ballpoint inks are probably fine. Water based inks, forget it. Regarding the build of the notebook it is really nice. The front and back covers are very thick and protective. I have the maroon color. The sheen of the covers do pick up "fingerprints" really easy, which appears as greasy looking smears on the cover. The elastic band to hold the cover closed is pretty weak, I'm considering cutting mine off as I think it might be more of a distraction than it is worth. The paper (other than being crazy absorbent) is a nice thickness, and the lines on the pages extend nicely to the edges of the pages with minimal margins on top and bottom, maximizing writing area. The pages have a nice feel, almost coated feeling, which is obviously NOT the case given the absorbency. Overall, this is a very nice notebook for keeping permanent notes, journaling, etc., at a decent price. (Can you believe we are at a place where $15 is a "decent" price for 150 sheets of paper?) If used with a fountain pen only, I would give this 2 stars. With a gel or ballpoint pen, or any pen that doesn't use water based ink, it is closer to a 5 star. I compromised with a 4.
