RETTACY A5 Notebook, Journals for Women Lined,Wirebound Spiral Notebook 160 Pages for Writing,100gsm College-Ruled Paper, PVC Pocket,Pen Loop, Ruler, Bookmark,14.5 x 20.7cm- Pink

A useful lined spiral notebook.The cover is something between a hardback and a softback, being quite strong and sturdy plastic, whilst having a tiny bit of give to it too.The way the notebook is designed, there is a Content page at the beginning, and all the pages in the notebook are numbered so that if you make a note of something, you can reference it in the contents section instead of using lots of tabs and bookmarks. A nice idea I thought!The paper is smooth and of decent thickness. I'd say the paper is medium-to-thin; but it's a good thickness for normal note-taking with a biro or pencil.At the back of the notebook is a little pocket with an optional elastic band you can use to keep the notebook shut, an optional pen holder which you can stick to the cover, and they also give an optional ribbon bookmark and some sticky tabs to use as bookmarks. I liked these thoughtful optional touches.In terms of colour, it was just as pictured - a lovely vibrant turquoise.

This is a spiral notebook that is dated at the top of each main page. There are two double sided pages of date/content at the front. It is narrow line with a wide margin at the top. It is solid sepia lined rather than the black dotted shown in the pictures and the cover is darker than the picture. The cover is plastic and plain green with no printing on it. There's a pocket at the back with a ruler that clips into the spiral springs, a pen holder on a lanyard designed to clip into the spring, some page edge marker stickers, and a ribbon bookmark. The paper is reasonably thick and doesn't bleed through with gel pen or fountain pen. It's perfect for journaling as it does lay completely flat. The sepia lines are OK, but I'd have preferred the darker line in the pictures. At the time of this review this is being offered for £7.99 and I consider that to be reasonably good value for money.

The notebook I received had no elastic binder. There are a couple of small holes in the cover, so perhaps something went wrong with the manufacturing. The cover also has no pen holder, so there are two things missing that are in the product description. The cover is made of thin flexible plastic. It is slippy to hold and does not provide a solid flat surface to write on.The spiral binding is small and tight, which makes opening out the diary awkward. I find it difficult to believe that the 80 lined pages are the claimed 100gsm.Overall, I prefer this notebook less than a standard shorthand office notebook and I can buy 10 of those for almost the same price.

Works well with good quality paper and easy to use

Instead of the usual cardboard back and front cover that tends to degrade over time, this notebook has a more robust and longer-lasting plastic covering...The A5 notebook has 80 double-sided sheets of lined paper, giving you 160 sheets to write your notes on... The lined paper is of the highest quality enhancing the notebook's lifespan.Build Quality 4/5VFM 5/5, as well as the book you also find in the back inside cover a pouch with various items, for enhancing your user experience, Bookmarks, Sticky Markers etc.

A good size notebook and I love the bright cover. The paper is a reasonable quality and there re a few included accessories to help with marking pages for easy retrieval of information

The media could not be loaded.  The notebook comes with a carry strap and an elastic closure (you fit yourself) a ruler/bookmark, a plastic pocket at the back and some sticky tabs - pretty much everything you could want apart from a pen.The paper quality is good you can’t see your writing through the page.The first few pages are marked with contents page/topic then just nicely ruled with a date marker at the top.The cover is flexible but offers protection and the colour is great - love it
