RETTACY A5 Notebook, Notepad, Wirebound Spiral Notebooks 300Pages /150 Sheets for Writing,100gsm College-Ruled Paper, Flexible Plastic Cover, for Women Men Work Office School,14.5 x 21cm - Pink

Great book for journaling and has alot of pages you can jot down ideas or just simple notes on. Comes with some sticky pads to keep your writing organised which is super cute! A free plastic ruler that you can clip on easily inside the book especially for kids or young teens if studying for school/college. Value is great considering the cheap price, I was honestly expecting the pages to be poor quality but this is a good brand. Easy to carry and good for backpack use or just for fun!

Nice note book and making great use of it. Perfect size and great for all uses. Love using the stencils.

Excellent value, paper is of nice quality, the printed date space, makes it ideal for keeping track of day to day work loads, along with the firmer cover which is a great colour, ensures it travels well in my back pack.

Using this to track data on the weather and things, hoping to spot causes of reactions. But also tracking the weather and moon phases and things because it's kind of fun... Anyway. On to the notebook. The paper feels thicker between my finger and thumb than I would expect for 120gsm. It is a pale cream in colour and has squared corners (which are, interestingly, quite blunt - I have no papercuts). The dots are do feint that I struggle to see them in some artificial light. I was very concerned about the spiral binding, having had notebooks where the pages tear out if you move them too quickly. I needn't have worried - it takes a lot of effort to tear a page out, and needs to be done section by section rather than all at once. The binding itself is also bendable but springy enough that, with careful handling, it should retain its shape throughout the time I am using this notebook. The plastic cover is a nice idea: it is waterproof, it is bendable, it does the job of protecting the pages while it's in my bag. And - together with the binding - the cover allows you to open the book flat out on the table, and even fold it back on itself. The colour choices are good (sophisticated and quirky are both in the mix). But, being plastic, doesn't look 'nice' if you know what I mean. I wouldn't want to give this notebook as a gift. Happily, the cover can be covered, and washi tape sticks well to it. Back to the paper quality. I am using Stabilo 88 fineliners, and there is some ghosting, but no bleed through. Most of the ghosting is where I have made a blob (on purpose - phases of the moon). I can't read the writing through the paper, but can see the general areas where I have written. Because of the purpose of this notebook, I am only writing on one side of the page. If I was journalling my thought longhand, I could happily do this on both sides of the sheet of paper. For perspective, I have previously used a lined 100gsm hardcover notebook from Rettacy, and that was lovely but my pens bled through a bit. Ideally, I would like them to sell B5 dotted 120gsm hardcover notebooks. But this one one will do me while I wait...! 😊

A lovely quality notebook that will last for ages. I love the included ruler and page markers too. I would highly recommend.

This book is amazing I’m not even joking. It’s so perfect and it comes with a pen holder separate so you can add it where you like. It also comes with separators where you would like to put them so there isn’t pressure on using a certain number of pages before getting to a new section. Would recommend!!! Also pretty colours

One of the best notebooks I’ve had. Has lots of pages so lasts for a while and the paper quality is really good

Perfect notebook! Thank you!

Leider nicht so schön grell und hell wie das gelb online dargestellt wird. Aber trotzdem sehr handlich, sehr viele Seiten und stabiles Deck.

It is an absolute lie to call this a hard cover, I know it says its pvc in the description but it also says hardcover. I thought it was going to be semi rigid at the very least, but honestly it's not even as thick as the outside of a pukka pad, and considering you can get 3 of those for cheaper than this notebook, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. Other than that im happy enough, the quality of the paper seems decent, the dots are visible without being in your face, which I like. The stencils are a waste of plastic though

On paper this notebook is exactly what I wanted however the pages keep curling up at the top and bottom corners so I've been using it for two days and it's driving me batty already. Also the binding is slightly too small for the number of pages in the notebook so it's hard to turn the pages without damaging them.
