Review on 4-Pack A5 Dot Grid Notebooks W/ 640 Pages, Neon Color Page Markers - Office & School Supplies by Russ Mashlan

I love these particular notebooks and have shifted to using them exclusively in my art studio/office for note taking, jotting down ideas, brainstorming, to-do lists, and planning. They feature cream colored paper, heavier weight than printer paper, with light gray dot grid. I don't have any issues with bleed-through, although I am NOT a heavy ink user. The paper is also rough enough to use a pencil comfortably on it without the tip of it sliding all over the place. The spiral allows it to lie flat when open or flipped to a single side, which is a bonus for me- I love a bound book (especially Coptic) but for the way I use these books, having them lay open on one side makes all the difference.Several different companies market these same books- just an FYI. They all come with the same double spiral binding and clear cover (which is great as a hard "page" to write against when the book is flipped open.) I do wish they came in a larger size, but the smaller size makes them more portable and means they take up less real estate on my desk.
