I bought this notebook to take notes for my french class. It’s simple but cute, and the hardcover makes it more resistant than conventional notebooks in the market.
I always write with black ballpoint and use markers to highlight titles and other important therms. You can see that there’s some bleed from both the pen and marker, but it’s pretty much what you’d expect out of a regular college rulled notebook, the pages are not usually very thick, which I knew coming in.
I just needed a notebook good that didn’t become all bent in like a month of use. Plus, the bleed through doesn’t obstruct the contents at all, so it doesn’t bother me.
It’s not perfect, good for what you’re paying. If you want no bleed at all then you should not be looking at college ruled notebooks, there are others in the market for note-taking that have better quality. The sturdiness was what mattered most to me and that’s what I got.
