Oxford Stone Paper Notebook, School Notebook, Smooth Note-Taking Pad, Journal for Writing, 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", Blue Cover, 60 Sheets, 2 Pack (161641)

I absolutely love this product. I received a different stone paper sketchbook for Christmas and wanted more but the price was crazy so I found these. The paper is so smooth to write on. I love using ballpoint pens and pencils on this paper. My only complaint is the cover. It's that plastic that attracts every hair and dust because of static so that drives me crazy but oh well it's still a great notebook.

The covers and binding spirals are extremely sturdy but the spiral is so tight that the paper cannot fully rotate around it. The paper is fantastic and feels like nothing else. It is perfectly heavy and durable and yet incredibly smooth. The sheets are slightly larger than a standard notebook, the lines are college ruled, and there are very convenient blank slants to record the date on the top right corner. Every writing utensil looks better on the stone paper and there is almost no bleed through (even with Sharpies). Gel ink looks especially vivid on them. I personally love Pilot G-2 10 Bold. My only complaint is that the stone paper is not as absorbent so ink takes a longer time to dry so without patience or care one will be left with an illegible ugly smeared mess. You can always use a battery-powered fan or even a small hair dryer if you are especially impatient,lol. If you take care though, nothing creates better looking notebook writing or art. Last but not least, the paper is perforated very finely so it is removed easily and without any tearing. I absolutely love stone notebooks but these are my favorite so far for the date and the perfect perforation. Once you master not smearing your ink, this will become your favorite specialty paper. I think it's worth the price but I'm a paper, marker, and pen snob, lol, so...

Incredibly Smooth to Write On I love these Oxford stone paper notebooks. The paper is amazingly smooth, making writing feel effortless and clean. Ink glides easily without smudging, and it’s a pleasure to use for note-taking or journaling. The size is perfect, and the notebooks feel well made. I would definitely buy these again.

It is waterproof as advertised, I used it for field notes while wading in the ocean and it looks good as new after the salt water dried off (and if there was residual salt or other dirt, you can just wash it off with fresh water). Most writing utensils work, I attached some images showing how some common ones fared against it. Any water-soluble inks will immediately wash off and off-brand sharpies don't do well over time, while pencils and standard pens do fine (if you're using a special pen then test it out on a page corner first, I had some fancier ones that would wash away or smear when they got wet.) Some issues were a somewhat annoying spine that didn't let the pages fold back easily, and the paper is kind of "soft" and the pencil digs in if you press too hard. It never broke through the paper, but the other side would have a weird raised area like a scab.

The paper is very soft. Writing is very smooth. No idea about the waterproof or environmental claims. Notebook and pages seem sturdy. Some imprinting to the other side, but it didn't seem worse than any other notebook. You don't get 100% erasure from pencil, from what I could tell. I didn't check too thoroughly. SMEARS. The ink takes a long time to dry. I wrote a reasonable length sentence and the ink of the previous sentence was still slightly wet. It does dry eventually, but if you're taking notes and need to write on the back of pages, that's a problem. and if you're left-handed...it's a MAJOR problem. I like them, I'll use them, I won't be buying them again.

The thickness and feel of the stone paper is excellent. The perforations are very good and tear easily, even for multiple pages. The cover is durable and color is nice.

If quality and texture is your game, then this notebook is in your bag.

I love this paper! Works amazing for sketching with makers, but be warn it is very smooth so materials like gel pens wont dry quickly

غني عن التعريف ممتاز وناعم وقوي وهو اساسا ضد التمزق والماء تقريبا بس نصيحة لا تحطه في السيارة او في مكان موجة فيه الجمس لنه بيخرب وبينكمش شوي بس كا دفتر حقة فيه

These note books are what I have been looking for for along time. For someone who loves to write on physical paper, I could never find a notebook I loved, but the look and feel of this book and the way it feels when you actually write on it, even with a cheap ballpoint pen feels amazing. This is a products I will be stocking up on!

very sturdy paper and waterproof too!! it is very good value for money. the paper is smooth to write on and feels just as thick as normal paper

Heel erg slechte kwaliteit. Super dun papier waardoor hergebruik lastig is. Bladeren zijn bijna niet om te slaan. Spijt dat ik dit heb gekocht

I had been looking for a stone paper notebook for work, finding $50-$60 notebooks plus shipping all over the place. I happened to come across this notebook and figured the price was too good to be true, but I was wrong! I love this little notebook probably more than I should. It's a soft cover (flimsy) book, which I like and the paper is great, It's smooth to write on and apparently (I haven't tested this yet) it's waterproof? That part is TBD. For the price, this 2 pack is a home run. I will buy again.
