Forvencer A4 Lined Spiral Journal Notebook with 300 Numbered Pages 8.5×11"

Thanks to this supplier's product. The only good quality decently priced numbered and spiral available notebook (generally you don't get spiral with numbered pages).

I’m writing a copy of the Bible for each of my grandchildren. They aren’t as large as the one I originally started with but they look much nicer. The paper is very good quality. I use fountain pens and even the wettest inks don’t really bleed through. Sometimes you can see small spots on the other side of the page but they don’t bleed all the way through. And again this only happens with VERY. Wet ink. Normal use the ink doesn’t bleed through at all. I haven’t had any pages tear even though I’m not terribly careful with them. There are lots of great colors to choose from. I ordered the navy and the gray so far and they are true to the color I was expecting. They do have a place for the date at the top of the page. They are easy to ignore if you don’t want to use them. The pages aren’t wasted on content that you won’t use.

I purchased this to use as a journal to use with my fountain pens (I am a fountain pen geek). This paper is WAY too thirsty for fountain pens. Medium pens look like magic marker on this paper and fine nibs look like sloppy medium nibs. Tons of feathering, bleed-through, and your writing looks terrible. It just SUCKS ink out of the pen - it's crazy to watch, actually. I tested the paper with a Pilot G-2 07mm gel pen and it writes just fine. So gel or ballpoint inks are probably fine. Water based inks, forget it. Regarding the build of the notebook it is really nice. The front and back covers are very thick and protective. I have the maroon color. The sheen of the covers do pick up "fingerprints" really easy, which appears as greasy looking smears on the cover. The elastic band to hold the cover closed is pretty weak, I'm considering cutting mine off as I think it might be more of a distraction than it is worth. The paper (other than being crazy absorbent) is a nice thickness, and the lines on the pages extend nicely to the edges of the pages with minimal margins on top and bottom, maximizing writing area. The pages have a nice feel, almost coated feeling, which is obviously NOT the case given the absorbency. Overall, this is a very nice notebook for keeping permanent notes, journaling, etc., at a decent price. (Can you believe we are at a place where $15 is a "decent" price for 150 sheets of paper?) If used with a fountain pen only, I would give this 2 stars. With a gel or ballpoint pen, or any pen that doesn't use water based ink, it is closer to a 5 star. I compromised with a 4.

I love, love, LOVE these notebooks! Using them to take notes for all of my different continuing education courses and being able to have a table of contents to easily find the topic that I want to look back at is so handy! The pages are thicker, they don't bleed, and every page numbered is AWESOME! And even better, they're easy to add extra "flair" to the front if wanted!

With our university colors being orange I had to snag up this notebook. I like it being spiral and there are lots of lines to write per page. I like the 300 numbered pages as well. The notebook is very sturdy.
