A golf cart dressed up as a Bentley.
The design and make of the Classic plain notebook are great. But the paper quality is really disappointing. The thin paper quality results in so much bleed through and show through it renders the notebook practically useless with pens - ballpoint, roller, fountain - it doesn't matter.
