Great notebooks IF they are exactly what you are looking for!Pros:Fast shipping!Excellent price!Thick paper!But still slim to carry in a small bag.Easy to see gray dots! (could be con?)Cardboard like cover you can write on.Decent sizeCons: (more of a personal thing)Gray dots are too dark for me as I use pencil they are almost the exact color as lead. I would prefer VERY light blue dots.B5 is an okay size but I prefer a bigger sizeI would also like internal paper storage like a folder built into the cover. ( Requires larger size to fit letter size paper!)Also, I would like more paper per notebook.If they could sell a notebook with my "cons" fixed I would buy them all!!! I haven't been able to find that perfect one yet! Please make those options available to me! I would appreciate it!

I typically use the a5 grid notebooks from Hobonichi which have the Tomoe River Paper (ultra thin but still great for multiple kinds of ink). However, they're hard to get a hold of and can get expensive. I am particular about using the a5 size because I've found that my hand/pen fits nicely on the page and I don't feel like I'm wasting paper. That may seem silly - but I know what I like! I purchased the 5mm graph notebooks, I should have read the dimensions in the listing. The dimensions are listed as 5.3 x 7.5 inch but actual a5 dimensions are 5.8 x 8.3 inch. Good quality paper/spiral for the price, but had to knock off one star due to non-a5 dimensions.

I really like these notebooks, especially that they are simple brown covers and spiral bound - I use them as my annual planner for homeschooling. I do wish the pages had light gray dots and not the darker small squares though, so they still guide for cleanly parallel or perpendicular charting for lines, rows, or columns, but without standing out so much on the page.

Paper quality is decent for an inexpensive notebook but the dots are way too big and dark. Even a thick gel pen is kind of obscured by these dots and then you can only use one side of the paper since the ink is visible on the opposite side. Bummer.

The product says A5 notebook, I ordered A5 as my size. These are NOT A5.The accurate dimension for A5 is 148mm X 210mmInstead, you provide a product that is 20mm short in height and 16mm short in width. The intent of this purchase was to put A5 covers on them, but falsely listing it as A5 ruins that.
