They are slightly bigger than the reporters notebook size, but do not take up as much space as the A4 pukka pad.Pens write smoothly and consistently on the paper as it is very good quality.Gets my recommendation - I purchased 2 extra packs after recieving my first one 👍

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent !

These Pukka pads are absolutely excellent. A4 pads are too big and clumsy and most shorthand pads are a bit on the small side, but these pages are exactly the right size. The paper is good quality and the fact that the pages are lined - not thick black lines but feint grey lines - make it so easy to use for both notes or letter-writing. Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy, practical and good quality

I finally found my perfect notebook: good quality paper and covers, spiral at the top and the B5 format. Deserves more that 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars I can never go back to any other kind now

It is the right size, it's sturdy, the pages are perforated so you can tear them out, you can write both sides of the paper easily and I won't be going going back to any other type any time soon. It fits into my work bag and doesn't arrive looking damaged and tatty. Will be buying again.

Really like these pads as they have perforated tops to remove the jagged edge when ripping them out of the pad. Paper is good (a little on the thin side) and a good white colour. If using an ink pen (I have a Parker rollerball) there is some bleed through to the rear of the paper but not to bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I have seen the size for myself I'll be ordering more.

The pages are 18cm wide and 22cm from the perforation line down to the bottom of the page. Paper feels nice and is not too thin but not tried with ink yet. Space between the lines is standard for shorthand note books. No margins are printed on the pages and there are no holes punched for use in a binder.By the way the perforation line on my pads is not easily torn. I had to fold the top page back along the line to tear it. Actually that might be an advantage in a way.If I bought a pad this size in a shop I'd expect to find a line printed down the middle. When I was a shorthand typist many moons ago I used to badger the person on charge of ordering stationery to buy this size for me instead of the usual pads and I would rule a line about 2-3 inches from the right edge. Want to know why ?If you are a right handed person you write shorthand from the left to the right stopping shy of the edge so your writing hand's wrist does not end up off the pad. Left handers should start writing between 2 or 3 inches in from the left so their wrist starts off balanced on the pad and can write all the way to the edge of the paper at the right. You'll both achieve more speed if your wrist is comfortable and is not falling off the edge of the pad. The empty margin can be used for additional notes or spellings of names in long hand. The wrist is not supposed to rest hard on the pad but merely touch the paper as your writing moves across the page.If you can tear the perforation carefully you could use this pad for writing letters as there are no margins printed on the pages.Edit. These pads are fine for writing with fountain pen ink. Just don't press too hard when you are making thick strokes. Another thing I have discovered is if you want to tear off some pages - only tear off pages in small numbers. I wanted to tear off quite a few and unfortunately I must have tried to tear off too many and the metal spiral suddenly came very misshapen. I had to remove all pages, throw away the scrap ones and keep the other (quite a few) in a loose pile.

Love these pads, it's so hard to get them in the shops at a good price but buying from Bolo was a good deal and fast delivery

Mooi blok maar geen A5

M.B. · 15 June 2020

Ik was specifiek op zoek naar A5 papier. Dat staat in de omschrijving. Het blok is echter groter dan A5. Blok is dus niet bruikbaar voor A5 hoesjes. Daar kwam ik pas achter nadat ik het geopend had, dus terug sturen kon niet meer.
