Speedball Art Products Company 35520 Hand Book Artist Journal, 3.5" x 5.5"

The journal was just what I needed for taking notes, doing math and just doodling.

I have filled up several of these journals, and I really like them. I'm an engineer and prefer to write small and neatly. The grid is small enough that I can fit a lot of information neatly on a page, and it is very handy for making vertical columns and checklists, as well as sketches and example graphs. The grid is also faint, making anything written in pen show up very nicely. The pages are sturdy, and the perforation is just enough that it will rip out when you want and not when you don't. There are also a lot of pages, which is nice. The only con for me is that it tends to become annoying when I have used many pages and the used pages are all trying to flop back onto the page I'm using. At some point I rip them all out and staple them together, which is hardly a good system if you have an interest in archiving your notes. At any rate, it is great quality for the price, and I will keep using these.The canvas cover is a nice accessory as well, but it would be better if it was 1/4"wider and could fit other notebooks. I recommend the canvas holder for this notebook as it is a nice way to protect the notebook and has a handy pocket.

For my Quattro pad holder. Works just fine for that. The ruled paper is so nice to have when drawing lines for sketches.

My first buy of this kind of paper and I don't know why I didn't try it sooner. I have horrendous handwriting yet need to take notes frequently. This style paper helps me keep some semblance of neatness. Only negative is the first few pages are hard to get out without tearing. Otherwise I really like it and plant to keep using it.

I'm a huge fan of these notebooks. I have several of the smaller lined notebooks at the office, plus one to keep track of my workouts, and I use this bigger grid patterned one to keep track of my monthly budget. I'm a "millennial" (although I hate that term) but I'm a bit old-school in that I definitely prefer to write things down to keep track of my life, rather than doing everything electronically. These notebooks are high quality, sturdy, and aesthetically pleasing.

I'm planning to buy a second one of these! As a newbie calligrapher, this paper with gridlines is perfect for me to practise hand lettering. The paper is strong and ink does not leak through. The notepads are portable - I often use these even without a table. Strongly recommend.

The quality of papers is not that good. They are too thin. When you use one side of the paper, it is not only make extremely difficult to use back of the same page but also, ruins the next page as well.

Great notebook for taking along for sketching and note taking along the way. The paper is thick enough so bleeding only typically happens if you mark something several times over with sharpie. Overall a great handy notebook for its size and love the ability to easily and nicely tear out pages due to the perforations.
