Review on A5 Dotted Notebook 3-Pack - 5.5X8.25 Dot Grid Paper Bullet Notes Journaling, 120 Sheets/240 Pages - Black/White/Kraft Brown Covers by Daniel Woods

These are great, and I prefer them to the Moleskine Cahier. I have a traveler's notebook (Midori), and I bought these for that. The Midori notebooks and the Moleskine notebooks are signficantly more expensive. I decided to give these a shot since I needed several notebooks strictly for writing (not drawing or painting). I measured them out, and trimmed them with xacto knife to make them Midori sized. They're the right height already, so I simply had to cut a strip off the width. These are great quality - they're stitch bound, and the paper is very smooth to write on. No bleed through, but I mostly use sharpie pens so it's not usually a problem for me either way. I also love that there was more choice with these in terms of layout - I really love the dot grid, and it's not always easy to find. Also these are 80 pages, which is what I needed. The Midori notebooks have 64 pages or so, or you have to get the super lightweight paper if you want more of them, and that's not lined. The Cahier notebooks do have the right number of pages, but the last section is perforated for you to rip out, and I didn't need or want that. I want all my notes to stay put. So this was the perfect layout for me, and happily, the paper and binding turned out to be of great quality. Plus, much cheaper than the alternatives. Although I do still buy the midori notebooks for other purposes.
