Review on Samsill Large Hardbound Writing Notebook - 7.5X10 Inches, 120 Ruled Sheets (240 Pages), Black by Heather Jordan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works for me: my feedback

I'm on my third one of these and I'm surprised at how many negative reviews I see of them here. I write on it with a fountain pen with a calligraphy nib using different kinds of inks and have had no problem with bleed through.The negative reviews are mostly about the quality of the construction. I'm not the one to depend on for a review of that aspect, as I use it only on my kitchen table, laid flat, and I store it upright when done. I like its size and number of lines. If I were going to hit the travel trails with a backpack, as I did three decades ago, I'd opt for something smaller and tougher.I write two pages a day, venting, commenting on the present, remembering the past, and when it's full I put it on a bookshelf for those cleaning out the house when I'm dead to toss into a trashcan. It's been fine for that.

Pros
  • EASY OPEN / STAYS OPEN – Carefully scored binding and lay flat notebook construction for comfortable 180 degree opening – Even stays open to desired page for easy note-taking or reading
Cons
  • May not be easy to clean or maintain
