Have been buying these for years. Good quality just wish they could be less expensive at about $8 for the pack they work out to a little over a penny a sheet.+
Notepads have worked well with either pens or pencils. I pushed the limits by expanding my instruments to include Sharpies and highlighters and was satisfied with the resultant. Re-tasking as a coaster for my morning coffee has proven less than desirable however one cannot fault the notepad.
