GOOD WEIGHT; HOLDS UP WLL TO “HEAVY” USE; PAGE WEIGHT IS DURABLE; WELL PLEASED.

I especially like the dot grid. A flexible background easing most anything one wants to write. In the perfect world Write would offer a blank page book for those of us who want to add drawings. But dot grid is terrific. The paper is terrific!! All so classy.

These are excellent notebooks. They are well-made, understated in just the way I like, and the paper is superb for fountain pens! My only recommendation would be to increase the line-ruling from 5mm to 6mm. The 5mm is a bit challenging for fountain pens unless you write with a fine or extra-fine. Regardless, I love the notebooks!

I love the hardbound notebook. It is just the right size to take along on hikes or meetings. It opens flat and is easy to write in on both sides. I will be ordering more!

In general I like this notebook, but, like other reviewers, I find the dot grid pattern a bit too overwhelming. I was expecting it to be more subtle and not as dark. Love the addition of the page numbers though and the paper quality is excellent as always.

Quality of the book and paper is fabulous. Four stars because the Dot grid doesn’t quite work for me: too large and not enough lines. I won’t be using it for bullet journaling. I will find another purpose for these well-made notebooks.

Good performance with fountain pen ink. Only downside is the dot grid is a little overpowering, rather dots which are less noticeable. Best part, it is made in the USA.

Quality paper with a durable cover. Had been looking for a good notebook to carry around so I can jot things down. This is perfect. I bought 2 will definitely be buying more!

I really enjoyed this notebook. I like the A5 size- it’s a great portable size, yet big enough to write in. The notebook feels like quality to me. The paper is a great weight for fountain pen writing- you can write on both sides and won’t see the ink through the other side. The line width and color are visible without being too dominant or thick. I hope they eventually have some more colors, as the selection now is a little on the somber side.

It was a gift and the recipient loved the color!

This notebook has ruined me for other notebooks. It's amazingly well built, visually stunning, and filled with high quality paper. I like the lined ruling, but dot grid may be a nice future upgrade. My only regret with this notebook is that I only purchased one!

Love the notebook! Great quality cover and paper! Will be wonderful for my journaling !

It's good, but needs some slight tweaking.
What I like...the paper is unbelievable. It is one of the best I have ever written on (I use a BaronFig Squire pen and Blackwing pencils).
What I don't like...the line spacing on the paper is too narrow and feels cramped. The corners of the notebook are too sharp/drastic and need to be rounded for easy insertion/withdrawl into a bookbag or other bag. The A5 sizing is old and outdated. It need to be slightly wider of a notebook in my opinion.
My honest feelings are that if you and BaronFig could work together on a notebook, it'd be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Literally.
They have better line spacing. You have better paper and paper color. But they have a more natural feeling notebook with the rounded edges and squared size.
These are just my opinions. Not a bad notebook, but just not incredible.

I really enjoy the quality of the journal from Write!
The paper is wonderfully smooth, takes the ink from my favorite fine-point pens beautifully, and the lines are just the right width and nearly invisible, giving me the guide I need, but not overpowering the writing on the page. The cover is a linen-like texture, and the book lays flat very nicely.
I have found my new supplier of all my notebooks and journals!
Thank you!

Ordered back in May and waited until today (August 1) to finally unwrap the notebook - did a live unboxing/unwrapping on Pensplaining IG & FB, complete with paper huffing because I love me some fresh paper. OH WOW. WNP has done it again. This paper loves damn near every writing tool, with a couple exceptions for more juicy fountain pen nibs (for the FP nerds out there, think obliques, stubs and architect grinds). I am looking forward to the dot grid version and perhaps more colors, too. In the meantime I'm gonna go sniff this paper some more.

Got this notebook for my girlfriend, she is very happy with it so far, I’m sure it will hold up as well as everything else Write makes.
Rebecca R.
Such a luxurious little book at a great price! My initials in gold look fabulous! Great gift item!

I’m traditionally a Moleskin user but thought I’d give something new a try. I appreciate the weight of the paper and the way ink doesn’t bleed through but beyond that I’m mostly underwhelmed. No elastic loop closure, no availability of a grid or dot option, and the fabric cover just doesn’t do it for me. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the product, it just doesn’t wow me.

First off I want to mention the exemplary customer service. I ordered two notebooks and had them monogrammed. For some inexplicable reason- I will chalk it up to “fat fingers- in my haste to order I got my own initials wrong. Amazing! So I wrote to Writepads to confirm my order and yes the mistake most assuredly was mine. But they told me to send the notebooks back and they would replace them at no charge! Imagine that. Well I soon received the “correctly” monogrammed notebooks and like the other reviewers am extremely pleased with the product. They quality is exceptional and these notebooks are the sharpest looking tools that I have ever used. If I could change anything it would be to add a pocket in the back. But who am I to quibble? Needless to say I am happy and will be a repeat customer.
Bradley H.
Same great quality paper that all of their products I have used has. It is my new favorite paper company very few even come close to the quality I have experienced with this great company.
Michael C.
The paper in Write notebooks is so smooth. It feels luxurious to use, but is really reasonably priced. I'm a big fan of supporting any Baltimore business but Write notebooks are the best I've found not just in Baltimore but anywhere.
John C.
Them notebook is so well made that it will last for years! The customization is perfect.
Michelle
Absolutely gorgeous! The cover material is beautiful and sophisticated... the binding is incredibly clean and sturdy... and that paper is perfect! My only request for dot grid, but honestly this book is so wonderful that I'll go with the lines. Well done, Write!

This is the best hardcover notebook that I have used! Better that the other ones available in the market. Pages fold neatly, the quality of the paper is excellent and perfect for lefty’s like me.

Everything about this notebook is excellent. The binding and cover feels like a finely bound book. I often use this my notebooks in formal settings and the design and quality of this notebook not only fits in but outclasses most other notebooks at my meetings. I have already gotten compliments from colleagues about how nice this is.
It is very sturdy and a bit stiff at first. With just a bit of use the sewn binding becomes more flexible and it opens beautifully and lays flat.
The paper is where this notebook really excels. This paper is very high quality. It is thick enough to not be flimsy (similar thickness to all their other products) but the texture of the paper is perfect for fountain pens. The texture is different from the other WN&C notebooks and pads that I have. This paper is by far the best that they have produced. This paper is comparable to Clairefontaine Triomphe for how well it writes when I use my (stub and italic nib) fountain pens. There is no bleed through with even the wettest nib/ink combos that I have. This also means that it will work well with any other type of pen or pencil. The folks at Write Notepads & Co. got it just right!
