Black n' Red Notebook

I'm not sure why some are saying that this cuurent version, now made in Poland, is terrible and cheap, with different thin paper, and a different thin poly cover. I have been buying these for years and just received a new one. The poly cover feels and looks the same as previous and the paper appears tombe the same tradmarked Optik Paper. Fully satisfied.

Great product, but the shipping took longer than the estimate. Still, these are worth waiting for.

Ordered these 3 Pack, 8-1/4" x 5-7/8", 70 Sheets for coworkers. Packaged very well. Pages flip very well! Durable cover does not have any pockets. Everyone likes them for meetings or taking notes.

This is my second purchase of this little "book." My older one had pages that could be taken out by pulling down on it. I didn't care for that because I'm a bit of a klutz and would accidentally tare pages off. It also was divided in three sections. This "book" doesn't have those features. I couldn't tell for sure until it arrived. I'm very pleased that this is a spiral "book" with lined sheets that are a good weight and has tough covers. It is easy to use and carry because of it's size.

We continue to order these notebooks because of their durability and promptness in reorder.

This is my go-to notebook. - paper is thick enough to write on both sides without too much show-through - the size is just right to fold an 8.5x11" sheet of paper in half and tuck it inside - good quality spiral lays flat when open - my pen fits inside the spiral and clips onto the spiral to stay in place - the pages are perforated, so they tear out easy with clean edges Only downside is that the perforations seem to be a little weaker on my latest notebook. I used to use the hardcover version - maybe the flexible poly cover pulls on the perforations and weakens them...? This poly cover looks a lot sharper than the hardcover, though. The hardcover version shows wear over time and can get to looking a little banged up. The poly cover looks good as new to the end. Although...I don't use the elastic band because it seems like it's a little too tight. If it was used daily, I could see where the elastic might bend the corners. They should replace the elastic band with a bookmark, IMHO.

I love this notebook. I bought it on a whim at Wal-Mart because I was going to training and needed one. There are so many good things. 1) Price. The price is right. Very affordable compared to Moleskin notebooks of a similar type which could easily go for $10 each. 2) Size. Many notebooks I find are just a little too big or a little too small. This is a great balance between having a substantial writing surface, while being small enough to fit in a jacket pocket or possible a pants pocket. 3) Paper quality. The paper is think enough that there will be no bleed through even if using a wet pen type (like a Pilot G2 or something similar). At the same time the paper is so smooth that using a ballpoint pen feels easy and natural. 4) the cover, one of my main fears when getting a spiral notebook is that the cover is going to be flimsy, become damaged and not protect the pages. The cover on this notebook is excellent. It's a strong hard cover, but also flexible. 5) the spiral binding. Many cheap spiral notebooks have binding that makes turning the pages a pain, not with this one. So easy to use.

These simply are the best notebooks of their type you can buy. I use them daily, working with clients that I must keep narratives on, and these Black n' Red notebooks have made this a much more enjoyable necessity. The paper is high quality (the best I have ever found in a notebook), and gives a luxurious feel if you write with any decent ballpoint or gel type of pen. My personal favorite combination is the Black n' Red notebook combined with Parker Bros pen refills. The two together provide smooth writing and actually save money as the pages provide a good deal of writing area and the refills last a long time with excellent flow and feel. I have stopped buying other notebooks, as they now feel like I am writing on paper with rocks embedded. The poly covers are strong, protective and save a lot of weight (compared to their hardcover Black n' Red equivalent), important to me as I carry a minimum of four of these with me daily. I highly recommend these notebooks over all others.

Livraison scandaleuse ! J'ai commandé et PAYE un pack de 5 cahiers et je n'en reçois qu'1. Sur le site, l'intégralité de ma commande est considérée comme livrée ! Une arnaque scandaleuse

Finally a decent quality, medium sized note book. The cover is a durable stiff plastic material bound by double rings and held closed by an elastic riveted to the back cover. The paper is top quality, heavy weight, bright white that is perfect for fountain pen use. I noticed no bleed-through or feathering; the bane of fountain ink. The only downfall would be that it is limited to 70 pages. I would have expected more for the price. But that said, I will probably buy it again.

Consistent high quality product. I have used both the A4 and A5 versions for many years and never had cause to complain. Takes all types of writing medium very well, you may have to wait a short while for fountain pen or gel ink to dry due to the high quality paper (cheap paper has a different fibre construction which soaks up ink). Highly recommended as a quality and understated looking notebook.

Linda, algo cara pero funcional. A mi esposo le encantó por la buena calidad de papel y los colores. Lástima que son pocas hojas.

Damaged- wires broken at end and pages bent. Hard bound had dents.
