Amazon Basics Classic Lined Notebook, 240 Pages Hardcover, 5 x 8.25-Inch, Black

Good basic graphing notebook. Clear even grid with visible lines and sturdy paper. Plenty of pages with a cover strap and page keeper. Also has folder in back for storing receipts or records.

really solid product wish i had bought more on cyber monday. no amazon basic branding anywhere, the leather cover is very sturdy and nice (thicker and stronger than moleskine), and the paper is nice to write on with the ruling on the smaller end (which i like).

Great notebook, very thick paper. Well made, good looking. I especially like the ribbon bookmark to keep my place. I've ordered these several times.

This is a good deal. I use it with fountain pens and there's very little ghosting, no bleed. The paper takes watercolor and, like fountain pen ink, there's some ghosting but no bleed through. It's obviously not watercolor paper so there's a limit, but for basic journaling / sketching, it's fine. With watercolor the pages get crackly as you'd expect when using watercolor on thin paper. Some may view this as a feature. I've only tried one so I can't speak to quality consistency, can't comment on how well it'll hold up. The notebook seems perfectly well made, it's got a little sleeve in the back as is common for these types of notebooks. I recommend this as a low-cost alternative to higher end fountain-pen friendly products. It compares well to the Lechturm1917. The Lechturm does have a higher-end feel but is also significantly more money.

You could pay $20 for a moleskin, or you could pay $8 for one of these. I buy these 5 at a time and use them for different aspects of my life (i.e. meeting notes, reading notes, journal, woodworking plans, etc.) I have one that I've been using for several years. It shows normal wear and tear, but is holding up fine. It is a simple design. I use Pilot Precise V5 and have never had any issues with bleed-through on the pages. Again, buy the Amazon Basic, and you can treat yourself to a $12 latte...or whatever your guilty pleasure is.

This notebook is great! It's compact, the pages are high quality, my pens don't bleed through, and I love the ribbon marker and attached band to keep the notebook closed! Money very well spent!

Perfectly adequate for the price. The paper has some decent thickness.

Excellent notebook – simple, durable, and perfect for notes or sketches. Pages are good quality and the cover feels solid. Great value.
