5.0 out of 5 stars Hard covered A4 writing pad

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Excellent writing work pad. Sturdey front and back cover which folds all the way round on wire making good support .. Front and back covers are covered white on the inside making it look more profssional than it just being brown board. Sturdy enough to lean on. Paper isnt a great thickness but certainly ok for note taking. Paper is perforated down the side so easy to remove rather than having to teat off of bound wire. Would defintiely buy product again. Each pad equates to £2.13 each which is good value for what you get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Notebooks

d. · 30 May 2025

I've ordered these notebooks before & therefore re-order again. Perfect for writing notes during meetings, wire-o so you can lie-flat and hardback for sturdiness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good value and will do the job

I.P. · 1 September 2021

These are wirebound pads, which means that the pages will not just fall out over time, and they are decent quality paper (not the best, but good enough).They are also exceptionally good value and unless you need a thicker wieght of paper for some specific purpose other than writing - diagrams for example or map extracts or similar - then these will absolutely do the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Clean Design - Makes it Easier to Take Notes

M.R. · 30 June 2023

The design of this notebook makes it easy to take notes when you don't have a desk or table.Some of these things are obvious from the description, but I will list the features I find useful.1) ***Hardbound***: If you are trying to take notes or sketch on your lap or on the go, a hardbound notebook makes it much easier. This one is more than sufficiently sturdy to write on. No bending of pages makes it worthwhile to get a hardbound notebook for me.2) ***Sturdy Wirebound Spine***: Easier to write with one page facing you, or with a two-page spread.Some notebooks may be wirebound, but the spine is flimsy. The spine on this notebook is very strong and does not bend easily, so that's a plus.3) ***No Margin***: Most notebook paper comes with a printed margin, and to me that wastes writing space AND is a distraction.4)***No binder holes***: I will not be putting these into a binder, so the lack of binder holes is a plus. More writing space and less distractions on the paper.5)***No Logos or Marks on the Paper itself***: Many notebooks like to add a logo or other markings on each page as a reminder of their product. This notebook is plain lined paper with no other logos or markings to distract or waste space. YES to this!!!6)***Relatively Plain Cover***: The cover only has the words "A4 Notebook", in a small font size, at the bottom of the right corner. Most notebooks have a bunch of design elements and their logo and other words all over the cover, which is a distraction.Because this notebook has a pretty plain cover, you can easily stick your own label on the cover and actually SEE it, due to the spartan design.7)***Paper Thickness is Sufficient***: It is not the thickest paper at 70gsm, but it is sufficient for my needs, which is notetaking. Fit for purpose, in other words.8)***Perforated for Easy Page Removal***.If I were to suggest an improvement, it would be to REMOVE the words "A4 Notebook" from the cover. So that even fewer unnecessary words/design elements coming from the manufacturer's need to advertise what the product is...are removed. I don't need to see those words, as I know already it is an A4 notebook.That's a small quibble, and it does not interfere with the function. And it's still a lot better than the majority of the notebooks sold, which have all sorts of unnecessary design elements on the cover and sometimes inside as well.I prefer having the cleanest interface possible, in a notebook that can open up completely flat.This is the best one I have found so far.I like the dark blue, monochromatic wavy design. It remains "business-like", but with just a little pizazz that elevates it from being a boring business notebook.5 Stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great note books

Good quality note books with quick delivery service

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my particular neurodiverse mind

P.C. · 24 August 2024

I’m in almost complete agreement with M Raymond (UK review 30/6/23) … & am delighted to find I’m not alone in my need for minimally distracting design!!I too LOVE the no margins, no logos pages. The wide-spaced lines. My writing flows on these pages like no others I’ve ever found.I LOVE the perforated edge, which gives perfect ease of page removal for filing (without having to constantly spend loads of time cutting off the messy edges created by spiral binding in order to be able to file cleanly, without the constant frustration of edges getting tangled together … not to mention the filing space those waste). I love how close it is to the edge (thus losing no writing space), & how well made it is … easy to tear, but without making the untorn pages weaker. I love that the inside of the cover is white (not black) and totally free of any print or marking whatsoever … again, like M Raymond, a delight for my distractible mind.I too would prefer if the obviously unnecessary “A4 (or A5) NOTEBOOK” were removed from the cover. Also ideally the barcode from the back. Complete minimalism! But I LOVE that those are the ONLY things on this notebook. So RARE!I love that the outside cover is glossy … making it a little more resilient for use outdoors (which I do).I differ from M Raymond in that personally I’d prefer no pattern on the cover (which for me actually makes it feel more corporate style, not less). But it isn’t an issue, it’s unobtrusive, and the colours (2 shades of blue) are inoffensive and again minimally distracting (I’d go for the lighter shade alone).I’d personally prefer the lines were slightly fainter (finer/thinner) than they are … but the colour (grey … not black or blue) is good.I’d personally prefer the spiral spine plastic coating was charcoal grey not black (which I find harsh & thus distracting).The paper thickness is perfect for me & well protected by the strong covers.Sorry for sounding a tad overly picky! I only mention the minor niggles because the product is otherwise so perfect.In summary, there are so many quietly brilliant, thoughtful details to this simple product. I hope they keep making it for as long as I continue writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the small amount of money!

M.F. · 5 August 2021

I had forgotten it was a pack of 5 because of the low price so it was a nice surprise to find i had actually got 5 fully functioning notebooks for under £7!!! for under £1.40 per notebook they are very good quality and do their job as well as any other more expensive branded ones. the paper feels nice, there's no annoying margin that takes up half the page and the line spacing is very nice and slim, so these are great for note-taking (which i bought them for). definitely worth the small price they cost!!

Hårda pärmar, mer som bok än block

C.F. · 4 December 2024

Jag letade efter vanliga kollegieblock i flerpack och fann dessa. Tyvärr har de tjocka pärmar vilket jag inte uppfattade innan köp. Efter att jag köpt dem fyrdubblades priset. Ser att de sänkt det litegrann i dag. Butiken verkar inte riktigt kunna bestämma sig för vad de ska kosta. De duger alldeles utmärkt som anteckningsblock även om jag hade föredragit de vanliga kollegieblocken med tunna mjuka pärmar.
