The micro-perforation is very fine and this paper works well for correspondence too. The pages are a little glossy, but i haven't had many problems with smudges. There hasn't been any bleeding though, even when using sharpie pens.

If you are looking for a good notebook/notepad, nothing compares to these. They have a sturdy front & back cover. Cardboard covers of most other notebooks just bends.

The hard cover is so much better than the plastic flimsy cover too. The texture of the cover feels nice also. The wirebound back keeps the other side from flopping around.

Great size, construction, and quality. Durable, light and easy to take from place to place. It is compact. Wish it had more details as it smaller size peer yet ir does a wonderful job.

The spiral binding used only goes one way, which is a bit annoying but not a deal-breaker. I love that i can strap it closed. The only thing i could say that's bad about it is that there's no ribbon bookmark.

This notebook is a disaster. Broke the tab trying to move the bottom adjustment. The spiral is bent as well. The notebook is relatively thin, so forget about using it as a journal.
