Now, this is note a notebook for say college notes in my opinion as there just isn't enough pages to get you very far through the semester.  As a business or general notebook that is handy to carry and easy to write in however, this is exceptional.  The paper takes ink well, but I have noticed that using Mont Blanc Rollerball refills does show through to the backside of the page which can be annoying if you like to write on both sides of the page (and with so few pages, who wouldn't?).  At the end of the day though if you want something that is convenient, easy to stash & carry, that is easy to jot your thoughts, notes/lists on at any time I would absolutely give it a shot.
