RETTACY Blank Journal Notebook, 3-Pack, 160 Pages per Pack, A5 Medium Size (5.7'' × 8.3''), 100 GSM Thick Paper, Spiral-bound, Flexible Plastic Cover, for Sketching, Drawing, Painting

These are wonderful 1/2 size notebooks! Nice thick paper.... I love the transparent covers! Great for keeping up with projects and tasks at work! I do with the grid was a smidge larger though.

Great size to put into a purse or bag and a good quality product. With the clear cover I was able to customize the first page with cardstock and I personalized it for the person I was giving it to. I added a pen and it makes a great Mother’s Day gift. Great price for a set of 3 notebooks. Will definitely be buying more of these in the future.

Since everyone else seems to only care about markers and pen, thought I'd weigh in. I'm picky about my dot/graph paper. I have books filled with technical drawings, and the highest praises I can give to such paper are: 1. Is it heavy enough to be moved around the shop or studio? 8.5/10. I wouldn't hate it if this was a HAIR thicker, but totally not a deal breaker. 2. Does it work well with GRAPHITE (eg, is it too rough/too smooth)? 9/10. For all-purpose paper? 10/10. 3. Does it erase well? Does it tear? Is it prone to smudging? 10/10. No complaints. 4. Most critically, for me, ARE THE DOTS TOO HEAVY OR FAINT? 10/10. No! They're spot on! I'd call them maybe 40-50% opacity (black on white)? Call it 4H-6H? At a glance, I'd call it #9999AA (they appear to have a SLIGHT cool tone to them, but I'm writing this in my shop, not my studio, and the lighting in here is all 6000K ambient LED, maybe - MAYBE - 90 CRI)? But most critically, the dots can be easily 'shopped out with minimal effort or even impact on the illustration. They're JUST dark enough to see for purposes of laying down a line or following a curve, but still light enough they don't change the cast of the image if a line falls atop one. Clearly visible through engineering stencils too. All in all? 9/10? Call it 9.5 if you factor the price (WHY is DOTTED paper more expensive than LINED?! It's LESS INK! "There's less demand." For you to hit the bloody PRINT BUTTON!? I call BS.) If you're looking for a solid, all-purpose pad for writing notes, graphite, pen, or marker work, this is a solid choice. There's a BIT of bleed through with heavy inks (I said it could be a hair heavier), but since I work 99% in pencil? I believe the expression is, "Nyah nyah!"

I needed to get a dotted notebook for class, this one was a great deal for two. I do not know much about the requirements needed to have a good bullet journal or dotted notebook, but compared to the typical paper, it was thicker and the size was perfect. B5 paper is not pocket sized, I would get A5 for that, this notebook was B5 and it was good for my class assignments. The notebook survived a semester in my backpack, and the spirals are good at keeping is flat when on a table. I used Pilot V5 RT and highlighters often, and I glued many things inside the notebook, and it did not bleed through or bend after using over 30 pages.

Very useful! Plastic cover is sturdy and will not damage easily. Good thick paper that does not bleed too easily. Love it! Except that the dotted grid is not 1-1 with each book. otherwise 5/5 stars. I keep purchasing these books over and over due to the clear covers that allow me to title and draw anything on them

This is my favorite A5 notebook, and I've bought a lot of them. With the clear waterproof covers, you can design your own illustration or title for each book on the first page and see it easily. The ribbon page markers, small insert ruler, and clear pocket page in the back are the extras that really make it special. It has my desired page count, and a quality writing surface. I would like to mention that I have bought these Rettacy A5 notebooks in three versions, the other two being dot matrix and graph, and it is only the college ruled that has the above mentioned extras, so don't expect them with all formats.

These are good.

The best notebooks! They are such a cute size, the cover is amazing and is truly see through (although it's a little foggy so don't expect it to be completely clear). The binding generally stays together, and the paper is really thick and great for taking notes with pens. I swear by these notebooks and completely would recommend. I used to use the five star ones but after trying these I can't go back.

Its really tricky to find a grid notebook in Australia, especially spiral bound one. This one has a very nice paper, off white colour and nice clear covers front and back. All that I could ask for!

Very good value, considering three of these cost the same as one normally. Paper quality is good, does not bleed or feather. Using these for compiling recipes and will use one as a travel journal.

Muy buena calidad,

Price, size, soft ivory color, thickness and number of pages were all excellent value, but the smoothness and richness of the paper take it to another level.

Tenía una libreta similar, y pedí estas esperando que fueran como la que tenía y terminó siendo igual o incluso diría que mejor. Gran calidad de hojas, puntos suaves que permiten escribir libremente y además trajo unos stencils muy utiles :)
