AHGXG Dotted Bullet Grid Journal 2 Pack - A5 Dot Grid Notebook Softcover, Medium 5.75'' × 8.38'', 320 Numbered Pages, 120gsm Thick Dotted Paper, Soft Leather Cover (Black Green)

The pages are all numbered and the first few pages have a table of content section. The paper is incredibly thick and smooth. I’ve tested it with several pens and markers. Very good with water based markers no bleed through with those. Alcohol markers definitely bleed through but that’s expected. Fountain pen ink will smudge initially but given some time to dry it stays on the page pretty well. Micron pens and fine liners don’t smudge at all. I love that all the pages are numbered already makes it very easy for my book journals. The covers are pretty strong and great to decorate with stickers if you want. It’s overall a great buy for the price. The size is also perfect to fit in handbags for travel.

I use moleskine notebooks - and they’re a bit pricey but have a good reputation.These books are a very reasonable price, and are very Very nice books from the multitudes of notebooks I’ve used.The cover is nice quality, has a pocket in the back. The dual ribbons is a great touch, numbered pages, table of contents in the front.If you’re an artist these are good books. Not noticed any smear from when the books are closed.Ink works nicely on them and you don’t have to worry about bleed through when using both sides of the page.Plus the dots aren’t visible once you’re getting near the end of the drawing.Any artists curious if you should buy the dual notebook pack - do it. My moleskine is now my prelim/ journal and this book is where I transfer more progressed drawings to.Would have preferred to be able to select the two different colored books because I wanted green and not the black but doesn’t really matter.The photos show the quality great. The cover overlaps the pages so the pages don’t bend at the edges.Didn’t like the color of the paper at first but it’s grown on me.

Moleskin quality at a reasonable price.

if it matters to anyone, the individual grid sizes is about 5mm. in one of my photos i have, i compared my 3mm grid to the 5mm (this one)!a good price for two notebooks! I bought one for me and my partner (who insists that he should start planning for his time management haha) we’re both college students and these are amazing for note taking in classes and even better in algebra!the pages feel good; thick and well made. i used a fountain pen on it, and it writes very smooth, with minimal bleeding with the ink! i linked a photo of different types of ink on the pages. so very good for me! there’s also very little ghosting as well!

When I first received these notebooks I was pleasantly surprised. First, you're getting 2 notebooks, each with 160 dotted pages (80 sheets each) for less than $20. Second, the quality of the paper is very nice and smooth. I am a pencil person, but have my share of pens and markers. With most of the pens I tested, (Zebra Name Pen, Pigma Microns, Staedtler Chisel tip Pigment Liner, and various Uni and Zebra gel pens), I experienced zero feathering, absolutely no bleeding, and very little ghosting only with the densest of pens. The paper is thick and very smooth, and the dot grid is a nice light grey on semi-off-white cream paper. Not a yellowish cream, but a subtle off-white that is very nice.The quality of the book itself, is yet to be fully determined. But the overall feel is solid, the stitching is good and the book lies completely flat, which is nice for a soft cover. I previously learned that it's important to take a new notebook and open it in small sections to make sure the book "remembers" to open fully.The pages are numbered, which is something you don't see often, and there is of course a table of contents. There is an envelope in the back cover, which is actually made from cardboard but with silky fabric sides, which IMO seems to add stability. Inside the envelope there is a set of plastic stencils, (nice but not really a big deal to me). There are two page ribbons in different colors, and an elastic closure.One con so far (minor to me) would be the "feel" of the leather-like material. I can't describe it, it's very cushioned, but ripply at the left side. At the same time, I like that it has "grip", so it's not necessarily a con, but some elitists might not like it. These are not sketchbooks/ marker papers/ or specialty writing papers, these are all-purpose, notebooks for the average person using a variety of writing instruments.Bottom line. You're getting 2 really high quality notebooks (in terms of what they're designed for, function) for a little over $15. It really makes me cringe now when I see these brand names selling at ridiculous mark-ups due to social media and what not. I am not sure if this company makes a larger size, but would love to buy this in various sizes.

I am very picky when it comes to my pens and stationery, and am quite impressed with these notebooks. I was unsure about the texture of the covers from the photos, I thought they looked too rough, but when I got a chance to touch them I was pleasantly surprised. The covers actually have a very nice, soft, smooth feel to them, making for a pleasant tactile experience. I prefer the texture of these to Moleskin for sure. The dots in the dot grid are light enough to not distract the eye - I have seen other brands where they are so bold they take away from the content. The pages are nice and thick, they don’t bleed and ink dries quickly on them, though I do see a very faint shadow from writing on the other side of the page using black gel ink, it isn’t very visible and certainly not enough to ruin the new page. They do lay flat, so I don’t have issues with writing on both sides, and I greatly enjoy the page numbering and 3 table of contents pages (there’s 27 lines per page, making for a total of 81). There are 156 numbered dot grid pages total, so there’s enough room in the ToC for just about 1 entry every 2 pages, which works well for me. I like the double ribbon page marker and the pocket inside the back cover. A pleasant surprise is the two stencil plates that come in each notebook‘s back pocket, they’re pretty handy and long enough to be used for drawing horizontal lines completely across the page. Great product, will be buying again.
