12 Pack Notebook Journals for Travelers, Students and Office, Writing Diary Subject Notebooks Planner with Lined Paper, College Ruled, 60 Pages, 30 Sheets, 8.3x5.5 inch, A5 Size, Travel Journal Set

I love these notebooks. I use them for so many things. I have even gifted individual ones in baskets or to my husband or kids for school. They are a decent size and lined. Good quality paper. I have ordered this type twice now and will order again.

Bought them for work to organize myself! Little smaller than expected but are nice!

This is the only notebook I've found that has all the three of the features I prefer: college ruling, laying flat, and inexpensive. I carry these notebooks with me every day. These notebooks are perfect for taking notes in class or journaling. They're good in an academic context especially, and they wouldn't be out of place in a professional context.PaperThe paper is a smooth cream color and does not bleed, even with the somewhat heavy ink of the Pilot G-2. The paper is of a high enough quality that pens glide rather than dragging. I was using some bright white stationary before these notebooks, and I have noticed that the cream color is substantially easier on the eyes.CoverThe cover is similar to a tan construction paper. You could easily draw on it if you'd like to "customize" the cover of your notebooks. Personally, I write the date range of the contained notes on the outside of the notebook. I haven't had any problems with the cover.BindingThe binding is stable and allows the notebook to not only lay flat, but fold around completely. I appreciate this because, in a pinch, you can write some notes without a hard surface to lean on. I have not had any problems with the durability, which was one of my concerns at this price point.There are two possible downsides to consider before buying these notebooks. First, 60 pages is not a lot, so if you are a heavy note-taker, you might fill one notebook per week. I do. If you'd prefer to keep a longer-running notebook, you should look elsewhere. Second, as I mentioned, the notebook cover is similar to a construction paper, and it would not protect your notes from spilled liquids. Just be careful with drinks on the same surface.

I love the size and how you can stuff them with all sorts of travel keepers.

I chose to order these specifically because they are small composition books. Often I find a composition book may be more pages than is wanted for a particular purpose. I knew what I wanted three of them for. The rest are in the office/school supplies and will find purposes soon enough.Most composition books have heavy, thick, stiff covers. These have kraft paper covers. My son is excited about decorating his in his own style. I find by opening them 360 degrees I have enough thickness to write on them in my lap.Update:We are enjoying using these as things come up. We have acrylic paint pens that we have used to customize covers. They are small enough to tuck one inside my Bible for notes and prayers.
