These things were a lifesaver when my I spilled coffee all over my last D&D campaign notebook and all I could find in stores were ones that were this exact quality but $4 a piece. You' obviously don't break out your high quality heavy bleed ink pens for something you spend $9 for 6 on but my Pentell ballpoint pen of choice wrote great on these. The pages are thick enough that you can write on both sides of the paper without any bleedthrough and even if you have heavy pressure handwriting (like I do) you won't break through the paper. The pages are actually so sturdy you can hold the entire notebook up by one page without it tearing off! I LOVE these things!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': "all the bad reviews have not made the point of how horrible this paper is :unless you are giving it to children to play with or rolling it into balls for the pets to play with.\nThe paper itself is so thin you cannot use both sides if you want to read what is written. If you want to tear pages out - the perforation almost never works and no matter how careful you are, the page rips. If you just want a pad of paper around to scribble on and maybe never take the pages out of the notebook -okay. If you want to ever read what was written : leave the pages in the book and only write on one side.\nI'm 85 years old: a college graduate, life-long writer editor, poet,manager and business owner.I have used notebooks all my life. If they were like these ,nothing would have ever seen the light of day.\nAVOID!!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "For as long as I can remember, I have always used Mead notebooks, so I was a little skeptical trying the TOPS notebooks for the first time. I am very picky when it comes to my notebooks especially for school because I love to write in all sorts of colors and highlight all over the place, so I need notebook paper that my pens and markers won't bleed through.\n\nThe notebooks were delivered within 3 days. They were wrapped in plastic and very well packaged in a yellow envelope. I did receive all 6 colors (black, red, yellow, green, blue, and baby blue), and the notebooks were in perfect condition. I decided to use a different notebook for each subject so I could differentiate between classes, and they work just fine. I am able to write and highlight on both sides of the paper without any bleeding. The pages don't tear out easily or get stuck in the binding either, which I personally like because I don't like having lose notes or paper just hanging out of my notebooks. They are definitely worth the price, so I will more than likely be purchasing them again next semester."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "When I had notebooks for school—this was many, many years ago—the lines were dark and you didn't have any trouble seeing these lines to write on them. In the majority of the notebooks I've bought lately, the lines have been so dim that it was like writing on unlined paper. The lines on the paper in these notebooks are dark blue and vivid, and that makes them worth so much more than I paid for them.\n\nSome of the previous reviews complain about how the paper in these notebooks is thin and weak, but I've not found this to be true. The paper is just as strong as the paper in the other notebooks I have. Maybe those who wrote about how thinness and weakness of the paper are naturally destructive with any paper they write on.\n\nI will definitely be buying these notebooks from now on."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Great for office use - great value for the pack if you are buying these notebooks any time outside of a back-to-school sale. In the pack I received I have 1-black, 2-light blue, 1-red, 1-green, 1-navy. Other packs bought will probably vary in colors received, shouldn't be a deal breaker unless you are expecting 6 different colors for 6 subjects..."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "They're notebooks. I don't know where so much passion comes from, for some people but here goes.\nI've only used one of them because I bought them in advance for next year but I'm re-writing some notes because I think they'll be helpful.\nAnyway, the notebooks came in great shape, they're thin and lightweight. The paper is thinner than some of my better notebooks but it's paper so whatever. The spiral wire is pretty thin and I imagine if I were to have this in a backpack with other notebooks it would get bent out of shape rather quickly. None of these are problems if you just plan on carrying them or having them on your desk for planning or whatever else people do with notebooks.\n\nThe only thing a little irritating is that some of the pages are weirdly creased (pictured). Again not a big deal but it's a little irritating when you're writing and there's a crease."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Overall I think this paper is a good buy for the price, but there are a couple of things that you should know.\n\nPositives:\nThese notebooks came to me as described. There are 6 different colored notebooks, which makes organization easy. The paper is college-ruled. The paper is also thin, which actually makes tearing along the perforation really easy.\n\nNegatives:\nThe paper is thin so you can see a little bit of the pencil/pen indentation on the other side, but in truth this doesn’t bother me. I can’t really see it once I write over it on the other side. Any ink pen or colored pen with bleed through though. This paper also has a weird texture. It’s hard to describe, but it almost feels chalky? I am not a fan of how it feels when I touch it, but that is a personal preference and I realized it’s not something that would bother everyone.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ''}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Not difficult to tear pages out of perforations.

Pretty simple. I'm no Michael Scott, but I do know paper pretty well. These are build well, the paper isn't too thin, and overall feels durable. Maybe it's just me, but it seems as though these may have more paper than traditional retail notebooks. Is 70 sheets more than normal? Great buy, would buy again."}]
