Yansanido Top Bound Spiral Notebook, 4 Pcs 4 Color A5 Size Thick Plastic Hardcover 7mm College Ruled Paper 80 Sheets (160 Pages) Journal for School and Office Supplies (4 Pcs A5)

Nice. Nice notebooks. Good for writing notes down and the cover is nice

Super cute. Super handy the pages don’t turn that well although…

Great value, fountain pen friendly paper. A fine alternative to pricier notebooks for everyday use with fountain pens. Very thick plastic covers, smooth cream-colored paper, and quality wire binding. No feathering, spread or bleed even with wet nibs and aggressive inks.Only cons are the lack of microperforation and strange labels stamped on the covers that list the CMYK values for the color of the plastic. The stamping is easily covered by a sticker and you can trim off the ragged tops of removed pages with scissors, so neither is a huge issue. Great value for the money!

Perfect Size. I bought these because my husband is on home dialysis and I needed lightweight, handheld size lined paper pads that are spiral bound. I have to write down dates, times and blood levels during dialysis and flipping back to the previous page when needed is great. My hands are arthritic so the size is not to big, not to small. I also love there is not a line down the center of the pages. In addition the colors are calming, they are inexpensive and small enough to store, but sturdy to handle everyday use.

Decent note books. One arrived dinged up making it hard to turn pages. Box was in good shape so not usps like normal otherwise decent value for money.

Handy. Good to keep me organized, I’m also a lefty and despise right side bound books. I would have liked the top to be made of cardboard instead of sharp edged plastic.

The are superb notebooks. The binder is thick and not flimsy. The paper has a thicker quality to it as well. It’s college’s ruled…more of a darker (creamy white) rather than bright white paper. Love that the spiral binder is in the top. I believe mine came 4 to a package. One of my favorite Amazon purchase that a purchase repeatedly.

Great Notebooks. Paper is so thick I can write on both sides. The covers are sturdy so they don’t get crushed in my backpack. I use these in the hospital to jot down info, and the covers are so sturdy and nonpourous that I can use a Cavi wipe to clean them and feel safe. Great paper quality, especially for the price. They are nice and elegant without being too showy or too frilly.

This is why I will plow big bucks into a glorified steno pad o’ paper. I am a serial note writer. I decided that on some projects that I write about, deserve the best tools I can afford. Hence my acquisition of Yansanido top bound notebooks. I’m left-handed and a top bind is so much better of an experience. Another reason, what I am writing about is very important to me; that should be acknowledged in my thinking and it effects what I write. Nice bright white thicker paper that isn’t going to begin to degrade as I watch the ink dry. Yansanido goes to the trouble and expense of at least buffering that high pH*, if not adding cotton to the mix.Remember the term “acidic paper” when it was applied to newsprint from a daily paper? That’s why a newspaper can turn yellow is exposed to the air long enough and that why Yansanido crafts its paper differently.Is there a valid reason to create and sell paper like this? Yes, but not usually. My daily notes are printed on what I call “crap paper.” Like newspapers I don’t need this paper, I Want It.If you decide to buy this paper, may I suggest that you ponder the writing instruments you buy to write with. Test them out. They are almost always worth the extra expense. I favor Japanese, but every western nation I’ve checked always makes these materials, each are worth looking and playing with. Price can be an indicator of quality but find someone in an art supply house and get them to give you information that will help you. Do it because it is important to you. As I’ve said, we decide what tools are important to each of us.All of that said, I’ll tell you the reason why I go to the trouble. I want to publish my work, and using pro materials is part of what makes my writing what it is. I am simultaneously starting an online, and what I hope for later will be a gallery with bespoke artwork for sale and custom picture framing. As an artist and a picture framer, and I want gallery to be perfect so as to state that I am an expert on a art, museum mounting and moreAs I have been planning and budgeting, I am also doing a light remodel and redress of my house. It’s another key accomplish I wish to make, not nickeling and diming with results that look like I cut all the corners I could, which in professional interior design is the antithesis of their goals of the profession.My gosh, all of this came over me just because of expensive note pads. Nope, lol. It just gave me food for thought.
