Very reasonable pricing. I use a Pilot G2 .5 and there is no bleedthrough or shadowing which I am very pleased with. Paper is not quite as silky as a Moleskine or Lechturrum but that is reflected in the pricepoint. The grid is perfect. If I had found a dot grid i would have preferred that but the line grid is working out just fine. There are 2 ribbons which doesn't matter much to me but some people have very strong opinions. I love the flexible cover and that it doesn't feel plastic-like but rather of high quality. Definitely would recommend!
