Reviews

A handy little notepad.

"I picked these up when they were on sale thinking they would be good for taking certain kinds of notes, like habit tracking and notes for doctor appointments. The junior size is perfect for those kind of notes. The paper is thick and feels nice to write on. My Lamy Safari fountain pen doesn't show through on the back of the page. I tested several rollerball and gel pens hoping for similar results, but alas, they all had some degree of show through. I really like the simple two box heading. The ones with the four boxes are redundant for my needs."

Raymond K. (5/5)

It's okay for a $30. 00 pen

"Seems to be fountain pen friendly w/ medium point and not too saturated ink."

Best Writing Pads

"I've been buying Freeleaf pads for years. The quality is great; you can write on both sides with no bleed-through, and you can highlight points in the margins."

Lorynne Y. (5/5)

Make it bigger

"Easy to write on, it's really smooth and thick paper. . . The calendar at the bottom is really helpful. I wish it was legal pad size"

Dave (5/5)

Love but will get others next time

"Love these, but I don't use the calendar in the corner as much as maybe I should. . . So sometimes that's waisted space but when I use it for meeting notes it keeps things nice and organized"
