Review on Papercode Luxury Lined Journal Notebooks - 130 Perforated Pages, Soft Cover - Perfect For Work, Travel, College - Journal For Men And Women - 2 Pack Blue by Quas Santiago

Pros:-Nice, thick pages! My pilot precise pen did not bleed through and I can write on both sides. I couldn't do that with my moleskin which was four times the price (and didn't have perforations)-Front & back cover seem sturdy-Elastic & Bookmark functional.-Perforations in a non-spiral! Halleluja!Cons:-Holy cow I can't believe no one else mentioned the smell? They have this weird fishy stank to them -- probably from the glue? One night in a drawer with an air freshener did the trick though.-Perforation is a little more flimsy than I would like for such a small notebook -- you must be cautious bending the spine/turning the pages. However, it's worth it -- most other notebooks like this fall apart if you remove pages due to the binding style.
