  • Simple, no frills elegance that gets the job done.
Style: Grid Size: 1 Pack
I've typically shied away from using a bound book to take notes in. My notes seem so fleeting and temporary; putting them down in a book seemed entirely more permanent than anything I'd need. That being said, after years of switching between various pads of paper, digital notes (which have their place, don't misunderstand), index cards, post-it notes, dry-erase boards, etc., I think I've finally come around on the idea of taking notes in a book -- particularly one that manages to so deftly balance quality with affordability. There's nothing special about this book. It does not have a pen holder, or pockets for loose papers, or a calendar, or pre-printed page numbers, or anything else extraneous. There isn't even a "This Book Belongs To" title page of any sort. It's just a very well crafted book for writing. I prefer graphing paper for note-taking: it keeps my writing from wandering vertically and allows me to line up indents for headers or topic changes. If I need to sketch out an idea, it provides scale. When I need to scan through my previous notes, the cleanliness of my indentations afforded by the graphing paper make finding the needed information simple and frustration-free. The pages have a slight sepia coloration to them, which I very much enjoy - it is neither glaringly bright nor ickily cream. The graph lines are clearly distinguished but do not distract from your writing. The first graphing page of the book does seem to be somewhat married to the thicker stocked separator page, but skipping the first page also allows for a clean entrance into the book each time it's opened from the front cover (as opposed to using the bookmark to jump directly into one's current position). Otherwise, the pages can fold over flat when writing in the book without separating from the binding. The built-in bookmark keeps your place in the book, as you'd expect. The elastic band keeps the book closed when storing and transporting it. The corners of the non-binding side of the book are rounded just enough so that they won't catch on anything or cut into one's hand while resting it on the edges to write. I use the Sakura Pigma 50221 Micron pens to write in the book; they don't bleed through the pages or smear on my hand (or onto opposite pages when the book is closed). As I have not tried any other sort of pen, I cannot attribute the lack of bleed-through to the quality of the paper, or the quality of the pens; in any case, they go well together and I would recommend the user of one to consider the other. Other than the very small, discrete "AmazonBasics" imprint on the lower back cover, there's no labels or badges on the book at all. It's a very elegant design that does exactly what you're purchasing it to do. If, for archival purposes, the need arises for an external label, it is up to the owner to devise their own solution -- and I'm fine with that. The size of the book itself is perfect: large enough to record a reasonable amount of information on a page, but not uncomfortable or unwieldy to use in a moment's notice or on an unexpected surface. Its small footprint makes it easy to leave out on a desk without feeling as though valuable real estate is being consumed, which also ensures that it's quickly available for your writing needs. Overall, I strongly recommend this book. ... show more

  • Compact, simple, just needs to be written in!
Style: Ruled Size: 1 Pack
**Two year update** ***So I admit I’m a journal abandoner. I start one, then never finish it. I use them as shopping list books, phone note holders, bookmark holders, and as bookends for other books. Until now. I own about five of these so far- and I now use them as commonplace books. I’M FLYING THROUGH THEM! And they’re holding up well, just like the day I received them. Spines are intact (even after traveling cross country, taking it to the beach, camping, hiking, and even just sitting in the passenger seat with a Coke while the husband drives). The spines are strong as ever, the pages are beautiful, and I’ve never enjoyed writing so much as I do now! Just came back here to order a few more and thought I’d give an update. Even the warehouse deal one that looked like it was bit by Bruce (a little 1975 reference for you) is perfect otherwise! No regrets! *** I’m loving this journal. It’s easy to write in, Mark my page (with the ribbon bookmark), and the appearance is classic black- I tend to abandon cutesy, colorful journals (something about them drawing attention where people may find them later and read them without my knowledge). Seems pretty durable. I bought mine through Amazon Warehouse Deals, and the back cover was sliced, but it didn’t affect the journal at all. Excellent price for a decent journal with a lot of space to write. I can see these stacking up on my shelves in the near future! ... show more

  • Great for Budget over the Moleskine
Style: Ruled Size: 1 Pack
Great notebook, if you use fountain pen, marker, other kind of pen that has lots of ink, its kind of passthrough the ink, not that thick of a paper. But overall is really solid structure and it has his own envelope storage at the back of the notebook like Moleskine's notebooks.

  • Its perfect for what I need it for
Style: Ruled Size: 1 Pack
I had a little black book about 5x thicker than this and maybe another half larger than this one, which was hard back but had a nice soft leather like finish. Sadly it was 6 years old and my cat decided it no longer belonged on the table. I found the binding completely busted, separating at the seems and it was no longer of any use to me now. That also included pages that tore loose during the fall messing up information I had. Very very important information that I prefer to note down because I cant always remember everything all the time with a hectic and busy schedule. So i decided to search for a replacement and the Amazon Basics Classic Lined Notebook, 240 Pages, Hardcover was the one I finally decided on. It feels sturdy and the quality is nice but I didnt rate if it holds up or is super sturdy. Im not looking to test it out but my guess with it still being new, it can take quiet a few tumbles off of the table top by the cat for a few years without me worrying about it. --Update-- My cat and new puppy decided they would test out how durable this thing was. I know my cat likes to knock things off the table some times, and well our new 1yr mastiff puppy thought he would join in. I woke up to all fours ends of my notebook chewed on, but luckily none of my information in the book got ruined. The stretch band was still on it and not even damaged. Im still able to see all of whats in it, though the pages are damaged to the point I have to carefully pull them apart cause they sort of stick together. I bought two more of these cause im going to transfer the information from the damaged on to a new one and of course store it somewhere safe. I wanted a 3rd for backup or maybe for something else entirely. Maybe for recipes. I really love the quality of these books and even after the dog tried his best to shred through it, it held up enough to keep what was inside of it still legible ... show more

  • Real deal!
Style: Grid Size: 1 Pack
I recently picked up the Amazon Basics Classic Grid Notebook, and I have to say, it’s quickly become my go-to for everything from sketching out ideas to jotting down notes. The 5 x 8.25-inch size is perfect—compact enough to carry around but still gives you plenty of space to work with. The hardcover feels sturdy, and the black finish gives it a sleek, professional look that I really appreciate. What really stands out to me is the grid-ruled pages. As someone who likes to keep things neat and organized, the grid layout is perfect for both writing and drawing. The paper quality is surprisingly good—smooth, with just the right amount of thickness to prevent ink from bleeding through. With 240 pages, I’m confident this notebook will last me a good while. Overall, I’m impressed with the quality, especially for the price. Whether you’re a student, artist, or just someone who loves a good notebook, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It's simple, functional, and has everything you need in a classic notebook - like the real deal. ... show more
