Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pay attention to the negative reviews. While it's true this notebook has a lot going for it... the one huge con kills this notebook. Pros: - Durable seeming cover. I can't truly say "durable" yet, because I felt the need to post a negative review after having the notebook for a week. - Strap, double bookmark, and pocket features are all nice touches. Cons: - The paper is THIN - Ink GHOSTS like CRAZY right thru each page, almost completely without regard to what pen I use. - Even if you don't write on the front and back of each page, YOU WILL CLEARLY SEE content on pages behind whatever page you're writing on. - For a product whose aim is for people who want to make beautiful, well-organized, clean notes... it shoots itself right in the foot. I REALLY wanted to like this notebook. I did a good amount of research & spent the money to get what I thought was going to be a premium-level experience... instead I'm sitting here with a $20 notebook that I don't want to use. I should not have to honestly consider the merits of only writing on every 3rd page so that I can have notes that aren't ruined by what's behind them. I should have stopped to consider, "how could the possibly jam 250 pages into such a small space while still maintaining paper quality?" The answer is they didn't.
