XYark Large Blank Notebook Journals Bulk with Thick Plain Paper, 60 Pages, 8.5x11 inch, Sketchbook Composition Diary Subject Notebooks Planner for Students Office, Kraft Journal Set, 12 Pack

These are a fairly close match to the Moleskine dotted* notebooks at a lower price, though these are thinner at 60 pages vs 120, and missing a feature or two (The Moleskine Cahier notebooks have several perforated removable pages in the back, and a "folder pocket" inside the back cover which these don't have). * I like the dotted pages so I can draw diagrams and write rows of text. Still a good value.

Great notebooks! Fits 8.5x11 full sheets

Perfect for any use. I have been using the dot grid notebooks for college note-taking since October 2023. Previously, my favorite notebook was Five Star's graph-ruled spiral notebook. However, these are now my new favorite. Comparatively, they are: Cheaper. Easier to carry in bags (no more spirals getting tangled on each other). They also have: Thicker paper that pens, markers, and highlighters bleed through significantly less (finally, I can write on both sides of the page with pen!). Unobtrusive dots. More cream-colored paper, which I personally like the look of. Fewer pages, which is useful for students who struggle to fill notebooks every semester/quarter. There are also downsides. While these aren't important to me, they may be important to you: There are no binder holes. There's no perforation, so pages can only be removed (nicely) through careful folding and tearing or with scissors. The notebooks are made entirely of paper and stitching, so they can't take as much abuse (the covers tend to bend, but I've never had any tearing/ripping). Attached pictures: One of my used notebooks and an example of a torn-out page. The front and back of pages from this notebook (left) and from my old Five Star notebook (right). For reference, I typically use black pens, Mildliner highlighters, Crayola markers, and Wite-Out in my notebooks. You can see all of these (except the markers) in the pictures.

These are perfect for college. I use 1-2 notebooks per class, and I love that the thin size means that I'm not carrying a ton of extra paper around, and that there isn't a ton of paper wasted at the end of each notebook. The cover is kraft paper, not super heavy, but held up to being in a backpack for 10 weeks. The pages ghost slightly with fountain pen ink, but overall didn't bleed through.

I used these for journals for my students. They are well-made - so far the sewn binding has held - and the creme-colored blank unlined pages encourage creativity. We are gluing pages into the journals as well as writing and painting on the pages, and they are handling it well. The kids seem happy to have them and treat them as special.

They are perfect just hard to find a journal cover for them that fits.

Good size and quality

This is a great product. I use it to journal and jot down my notes when I read the books of my interests. I like to learn from the books I read, and this journal serves the purpose of annotating what I’m learning.
