## Description

desertcart Basics Classic Lined Notebook, 240 Pages, Hardcover - 5 x 8.25-Inch, Line Ruled Pages

Review: Nice quality journal notebooks for personal or work usage - These journaling notebooks are a similar quality of another brands' bulk sets very similar hardcover, placeholder bookmark and the band that keeps it closed so desertcartbasics is about the same price per journal notebook. Only reason I bought several of these is the black color wasn't offered by another brand and preferred to keep a similar notebook style and these surprisingly felt the same on all levels of quality to the paper style so desertcartbasics doesn't seem to clone other brands as others tend to say so its more like a certain grocery chain that picks the best quality. Nice professional appearance so the color doesn't look out of place in a workplace such as doing missionary work or professional work or such. Ink doesn't bleed through if using a felt style pen, I'd still suggest using a gel ink as it won't lead to pages being stuck to other pages if the humid weather makes other inks lead to page sticking such as cheaper ball point pens. Decent amount of pages, this is a buying point 240 pages for under $6 is better than local office supply stores may it be US, Poland or Germany plus you're able to get these on desertcart Poland or Germany sites at similar local pricing. You can organize your notebook easily using aftermarket stickers on the edge of pages as this hardcover provides just enough room to do it properly and safely so another plus for desertcartbasics journal notebook over the typical local office supply stores. Overall great for personal usage or actual work, plenty of space per page and durable enough to toss into a backpack or messenger bag. Handles the heat of Tempe AZ and the cold of Poland & Germany of winters.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does it compare In quality to Moleskin notebooks?**
A: I have a moleskin now and it sucks in comparison. The Amazon one is sturdier. I heard that older moleskins were better but this is my first so idk. I use a fine to medium fountain pen and I prefer the paper in the Amazon notebook.

**Q: Is the paper fountain pen friendly?**
A: Reading responses from 2 years ago and want to update. They must have started off using better quality stock than they do now. This paper is NOT fountain pen friendly. It is very thin. Even if you tried to put a spare sheet behind the page you’re writing on, it’s still going to bleed through the back. So you won’t be able to write front-and-back on every page. Hopefully that makes sense. I’ve used a lot of different types of paper and honestly, this is literally (not misusing that word) the worst paper in a notebook that I’ve purchased in at least the past 20 years.

**Q: Will sharpies bleed through?**
A: Sharpies are alcohol ink and will bleed through just about all paper.

**Q: 240 individual sheets of paper or 240 front to back (so 120 sheets)?**
A: 120 sheets. 240 when counting both sides.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just like moleskine
*by J***O on September 4, 2026*

If you like the look and feel of moleskine notebooks- this one is real close. Almost identical in quality and style for half the cost. A great deal. They often sell out so I've been buying a couple at a time.
