WovantesWovantes: Me gusta que sean ligeros, aunque algo delgados. No pesarán demasiados para llevarlos aquí y allá. La calidad es aceptable. Por el precio es genial.

Chris: I love these notebooks! The cost is similar to the same size 5 subject notebook. Notebooks are pretty thin, but I love how the space between the lines is smaller than college ruled. I can fit so much onto one page. Quality is great, too!

Michelle: These a good books, though super thin and small, but if you are in need of a small book this one is great, doesnt take up any room.

farmkiti: Great little notebooks. The paper is soft & smooth, not real heavy, but great for fountain pens. This paper "drapes" well; I hope that makes sense. What I mean is it truly lies flat when the book is open, partly due to the type of binding used, partly due to the limpness of the paper. I like my paper limp; it should "drape." It's fantastic for fountain pens. There is some ghosting, but I only write on one side, so that's not a problem for me. I have used nibs from XF to 1.1 mm stubs on it, and some very wet pens, and it has performed admirably for all of them. Almost as nice as Tomoe River at about 1/3 the cost. I have recently ordered an A5-sized travelers notebook, and I plan to continue using these books for that notebook. They're readily available and reasonably priced, and I love the quality of the paper. Can't ask for much more than that!

Elle K.: These notebooks are great. The pages are more of a cream color than regular notebook paper, and are very smooth-feeling. I have small handwriting, so I really like the thinner 6mm rule (thinner than college-ruled). I also like the grey lines - dark enough to see easily, but not so dark that it competes with pencil/pen. The portable size is great for throwing into a tote bag, or even larger purse. The number of pages per notebook is reasonable. Each notebook has a different binding color - dark grey, olive green, red, golden yellow and black - which could be useful for color-coding if one wanted to. The muted colors provide just enough visual interest for me, and are not garish. The cover is like a thicker cardstock material.

The price here is not too shabby compared to other similar products on Amazon. However, it is about twice as much as the price at the store. I would give it 5 stars if it were the store price because it would be such a great value. At this price, however, it is not as much of a no-brainer for me to get. So, 4 stars.

The Polymerist: Along with many others around the web, I tried these notebooks at the suggestion of Ira Glass (just do a Google search for his Lifehacker "How I Work" interview). Since my first order, I have ordered 2 more packs just to have on hand. I love them. They're perfect for calculations, to-do lists, or other quick notes that I don't necessarily need to index, but want to definitely keep general records of. I wish I had known about these when I was in school -- they would have made great subject notebooks (they're about the right amount of pages per book for a light to medium notetaker's semester). I was a little worried about the "kraft" notebook covers, but they've held up very well in my messenger bag on daily commutes.

The only con that I've seen (not enough to warrant a star deduction) is that in some notebooks, the glue is a little uneven and pastes part of the page to the cover, making the front of the page not quite as usable. With my uses for these notebooks, it doesn't phase me, and others who need more of a structure can just use this page as an index.
