Notebooks: FAQ

How do I ensure the notebook size fits my needs?

Always verify the exact dimensions in millimeters provided in the product description, as international standards for A5 or B5 can vary slightly. Check user-uploaded photos to see the notebook held in a hand for a realistic scale comparison.

How can I tell if the paper is high quality?

Look for the 'GSM' rating in the specifications; 100gsm to 120gsm is the modern standard for preventing ink bleed-through. If you use fountain pens, look for reviews mentioning 'ghosting' or 'feathering' to ensure compatibility.

What binding type is best for daily durability?

For heavy use, prioritize 'Smyth sewn' or 'thread bound' notebooks which allow the book to lay completely flat without the spine cracking. Spiral bindings are excellent for portability but can bend if stored improperly in tight bags.

Will the notebook arrive damaged during international shipping?

Choose sellers that explicitly mention 'bubble wrap' or 'multi-layer packaging' in their descriptions. Hardcover notebooks generally offer the best resistance to corner dings during long-distance transit compared to softcover versions.

Recommendations for buyers

  • ✓
    Paper Weight (GSM)
    Select 80gsm for light pencil notes, but upgrade to 100-160gsm for markers, fountain pens, or watercolor to prevent ink from soaking through.
  • ✓
    Cover Material Durability
    PU leather offers a professional look and water resistance, while kraft paper covers are lightweight and eco-friendly for casual sketching.
  • ✓
    Page Layout Options
    Dot grids are the most versatile for both writing and drawing, whereas ruled lines are better for structured journaling and academic work.
  • ✓
    Binding Security
    Ensure the product uses acid-free paper and reinforced stitching to prevent pages from yellowing or falling out over years of storage.
