AHGXG Graph Paper Notebook - Grid Notebook Journal A5, 120 GSM Thick Graph Paper, 160 Pages, Leather Hardcover, for Graphing, Writing, Math, Engineering, 5.75'' × 8.38''- Black

I've bought a few of these. They're really good for the price. Mine have held together very well. I use them as journals to write out my thoughts, and most recently, to follow the bullet journal method. For either purpose, they're really good in that the pages are thick enough (for those who care) that lots of regular writing pens will not bleed through to the next page or will very lightly ghost. My current favorite pen is a Pilot G2 .05 which *may* lightly ghost but not enough to bother me. If you're looking for a good journal for writing or bullet journaling - the basics- this is a really good choice. If you're looking to do all kinds of layouts with hand-drawn illustrations and lots of colors using expensive markers, you may want to look for thicker paper. I have both. I'll keep buying this one for my journaling and save the other for those "special collections."

I love this journal. There is bored through with heavy markers, but I usually glue the next two pages together when that happens. I did cut out some pages and the spine popped, so I’ll have to fix it. But I think that was more on me weakening the spine than base structure. Pretty color.

This journal is exactly what I’d hoped it would be! The paper is nice and heavy, and very rarely is there any bleeding. It’s got the perfect amount of pages for what I’m using it for (a reading journal), and the quality has been very good. It feels like it’ll definitely hold up to my markers, glue, etc.

This is obviously a high quality item and I had very high expectations for this product. I use it as a journal/planner and the pages are very sturdy. Hardcover very smooth and overall well-made:PROS - Off white pages makes it easier for me to do artwork and add stickers that blend in. Also hides color imperfections.Smooth cover makes it easy to clean with a Clorox wipe without disintegrating the page. A+ for cleanliness as we touch so much stuff throughout the day then touch our faces.CONS - Smooth cover scrapes easily and stains which gives the appearance of being dirty even after being cleaned.Stitching came apart after a few weeks causing book not to close properly. This is the only reason I took away a star. (See pics).HONORABLE MENTION - I spilled water on this book and when it dried smooth- it dried smoothly and evenly without being raised and dried where I had written with a watercolor mark which gave me ideas for creating spread. It did bleed through the page but I didn’t have anything written on the other side yet. I was even able to write over the dried area. Interesting feature for artistic types.

It’s really nice and doesn’t bleed so more surfaces to draw on!

Really pleased with this notebook. Great quality and super smooth paper. Great for pen/ink drawing—I’ve been using fine liner markers with no bleed through. Lays flat! I like the color offerings (for the covers), also. Would buy again!

This is an excellent notebook. Rhe dots are light, the paper is good quality, the binding is great, and the cover is substantial. I will buy more.

Happily surprised by this journal! The paper quality is fantastic for Journaling with fountain pens, as it shows the inks perfectly without bleed through. Every slight shading or sheen is visible - such a great surprise. It also lays perfectly flat without breaking the spine. Incredible value for the price - already purchased additional journals from this brand.
