Kleines kompaktes Notizbuch. Passt überall rein. Man hat es schnell in der Hand.

Honestly I rarely take the time to leave reviews because I like to be thorough and that takes time, so you know this is a great quality little notebook! I bought this 2-pack in April 20222, and it's currently March 2023, so it's been a year of wear and tear. Durability: These notebooks have withstood a year of my throwing them around (literally), being smooshed in my purse, backpack, luggage, back pocket, you name it. I usually have bent edges and messed up spines on books that travel with me long-term, but these notebooks are awesome! I use them for grocery lists, to-do lists, note-taking when on hikes (when I want a regular notebook, not an actual field notebook), data collection, you name it. It has some minor scratches, some watermarks from coffee splatter and maybe one chip on the bottom back cover (probably form a pocket knife that opened in my bag). The bookmark ribbons haven't unraveled and look almost as good as the day they arrived. The elasticity in the pen-holder and the elastic closure are both really good still and should outlive the empty pages in this notebook. So far I'm half-way through the pages and I like to write on both sides to get the most out of the pages. Bleed-through: I typically have two styles of pen that I like to write with: Slim Ballpoint (0.38 mm): No bleed-through, though there is some minor imprint from the writing on the other side of the page (which can't really be helped with such a fine writing instrument) especially if you're writing in a hurry. and Liquid Ink (0.5 mm): These pens (I use Pilot V5) will be visible (but not bleed through) if you leave the pen on the paper in one spot for a bit or like to write-over for a bold look, write slowly or with a heavy hand. However, it's minimal enough that it doesn't bother me and doesn't impede reading the other side of the page's writing. Size: The height seems to be a little longer than 5.5" even counting the extra I had on the edge of the ruler. Width seems about right though! Ruling: You get 20 lines per page, but if you write on the bottom margin you get 21 total. I do like a narrow rule, but this is pretty good, considering most notebooks of this size only give you 19 lines per page. Honestly love these little notebooks, very handy and durable. They do their job well!

MUY CARO, PARA LO POCO QUE ES.

I watched a Peter McKinnon YouTube video where he described how he decided to use a booklet instead of his phone for his daily "to do" list. The premise being that if you use your phone you get too easily distracted and do no focus on just the tasks listed. He also liked crossing them off daily as a sense of accomplishment. I decided I had to try it out and found these. The perfect size, excellent hardcover, elastic to keep it closed, ribbon bookmarks, lined paper on both sides and a fabric elastic pen holder... PERFECT. The quality of this notebook especially for the price is superb. It is ideal for my purpose and I also picked up a bolt action pen to make the task booklet complete. This is a durable companion notebook for any note taking task, I highly recommend it.

I like these little note books. I use them for making my birding lists. They fit in the pocket or bag nicely, and well made with good quality paper. I have bought them several times and will be getting more soon.
