Absolutely Wonderful! Great design and paper.

I keep a bullet journal in my leather traveler's notebook. I like the flexibility of lots of little notebooks. Let' s face it, I'm a paper and pen snob. These are wonderful. I can write with either my gel pen or my fountain pen. The fountain pen does not bleed through. I will keep buying these over and over.

Pros
  • Love the dot grid and a nice size to throw in a purse.
Cons
  • The pad may be too small to write longer notes or assignments

Good, but not quite aligned rightly

I noticed the dots are not quite (horizontal/vertical) in the notebooks. They’re off by about 5 degrees. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Exactly what I wanted
Cons
  • Not enough pages in each pad, requiring more frequent replacement

Size is incorrect - my new review

These we advertised as 4.5" wide, but are actually 4.25" It seems like a small amount, but as I wanted specially 4.5 for something, they aren't what I needed. But the paper and build is nice.

Pros
  • Great quality paper. Got the dots version. Use them to take notes in for work.
Cons
  • Though travel-friendly, the size is too small for some people

Not Midori!: my feedback

Please note, first and foremost, that these are NOT Midori brand notebooks. While the paper is still very nice – and Midori does not seem to produce a dot grid option of their own - the booklets themselves are much stiffer and less pleasing to work with. Otherwise, this is a decent value for the money.

Pros
  • Perfect for bullet journaling in my TN
Cons
  • The cover design is unexciting and plain

Just ok, not great, for fountain pens

These are not as fountain pen friendly as the branded Travelers Notebook notebooks. See photos. Not too much feathering on the front, but some bleedthrough on the back.

Pros
  • Fit perfectly in my bullet journal
Cons
  • They are a bit pricey considering the quantity

Not as nice as others

My last inserts were stitched together beautifully and these are not. Very cheaply made with thin paper. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Sturdy, arrived very quickly. They're nice!
Cons
  • The design doesn't appeal to a younger audience

I have owned these for a few months now. I use them for bullet journalling in my TN and I love them. The dot grid is just a hair smaller than other dot grids I've seen, which I really like. I use my TWSBI Eco with Hebrin Perle Noire ink and I have never had it bleed through, a little ghosting sometimes if I'm really filling it in heavy but overall it's been great paper!

Pros
  • They work really well. Strong and durable and the paper is great to write on.
Cons
  • The journal may not close flat after being open

and while I love the Midori brand inserts

I have a Midori style journal, and while I love the Midori brand inserts, they're a little more money than I'm able to spend. I've tried a few different off-brand ones, and these are my favorite so far. I hate writing on lined paper, but the dot grid is perfect. subtle. The paper is a good quality and the construction is sturdy. I'll keep buying them for sure!

Pros
  • ‎Standard Size
Cons
  • The journal may not stay open on the page you intend

Love Dot grid Notebooks

I love the Midori Notebook System and especially the dot grid notebooks. I’ve ordered theses before and they work perfectly.

Pros
  • Product as described. A little big for my notebook but I guess that is my own fault.
Cons
  • Frequent replacement may quickly become expensive

Frayed corners & deep wrinkles

It came with tears on the corners and deep wrinkles. The wrinkles I can deal with, but the corners are already starting to rip. If I put it in my travelers notebook, the bands are going to fray them further. I’m so disappointed that they came like this.

Pros
  • Nice paper, great quality. Came in perfect condition, sealed in packs of three. Will reoder!
Cons
  • The ink from gel pens smears easily and takes longer to dry

Dot Grid Notebook - my new review

I have to genuinely say, these are just as nice if not better then the original midori inserts. The only thing to mention though, is that the dots are very light. I would highly recommend these.

Pros
  • Perfect for my journaling needs!
Cons
  • It may take longer to receive the journal via shipping

A Geologists Opinion

The perfect size for your Midori Journal. Good quality paper, great formate. Grid pattern dots make for keeping your writing on straight lines and are useful in sketching diagrams. Decent price.

Pros
  • Theses are a very good if you are a daily writer, Bulletin journals and or a constant note taker
Cons
  • I just wish the paper didn't ghost SO bad. :(

Fantastic Paper best in my review

You just never know the quality of paper until it's in your hands. I was thrilled to feel this paper once it arrived. My desire is to have my scrapbooks around once I'm no longer here so this paper is of great importance for my memory keeping.

Pros
  • Just what I was wanting. Great!
Cons
  • The journal does not offer different grid sizes for variety

No bleed through! best in my review

These books have nice thick paper--no bleed through with my fountain pen and will even hold watercolor that is not too wet. My go-to for TN dot grid journals!

Pros
  • Just as expected. The grid is light enough and not distracting.
Cons
  • The product may seem too expensive for some budgets

My daily notebook. Everything goes in

I use these as daily journals/notes/lists etc. Everything goes into them then some items get sorted to other more permanent journals by topic/domain. Couldn't live without them (well I could but I would be far too disorganized what with ADHD and memory issues)

Pros
  • ‎Dotted
Cons
  • The journal may not be refillable as advertised

Perfect inserts. Perfect Price. Quick shipping.

I purchased these for my Traveler's notebook and couldn't be more pleased.They are quality paper and assembly, true to size and look as though they will really stand up to frequent use. Perfect inserts for the perfect price with fast shipping!I will definitely be purchasing from this seller again!

Pros
  • Great Quality and exactly what I expected. I will be ordering again in the future.
Cons
  • The paper quality isn't as good as other dot grid paper pads

Fits the bill, reasonable price

I've been looking for small, thin notebook to go into my leather folio when I travel. I tried a few different notebooks and the paper was too thin or bled too easily. I mainly use a fountain pen or a fine ballpoint pen for writing. This paper holds up well and the size is perfect for my needs. At less than $3 each, these are affordable and work well. The 2 staples holding it together, though, seems less secure than other notebooks of this size, so you may want to add additional fasteners if…

Pros
  • ‎IR-02-20
Cons
  • The product may not meet the expectations or needs of an organized writer

Excellent quality.: my feedback

The paper is fantastic. Very lightweight but NO bleed-through from my fountain pen. The ink seems to lay on the surface of the paper and takes a bit longer to dry than other TN notebooks but I really like the paper very much. Looking forward to trying some watercolor painting.

Pros
  • I love, love, love these journals! They fit nicely in my TN and the paper is great quality.
Cons
  • The price outweighs the value

On the other hand the graph grid is excellent.

The dots are so light it almost appears blank. I will not reorder these. On the other hand the graph grid is excellent. That's my review.

Pros
  • 3-pack dotted notebook journal, inserts for regular size travelers notebook
Cons
  • The spiral binding may on occasion catch on clothes or bags
