Amazon Basics Professional Journal, 10.5X7.5 inches, Black, 2-Pack

Great value and quality. no bleed through with gel pens. opens like a book, easy to write in, i do wish the pages were a smidge thicker. nice black canvas cover, bone white pages, lays flat, nice feel overall- better than expected, esp for the price.

I'm surprised that you get two sturdy notebooks for such a low price.

I ordered these journals two years ago and like them so much that I'm ordering again. Despite almost daily handling, there's almost no wear and tear. They have held up nicely.

I have been a big fan of Amazon’s brand when it comes to their smaller sized hardcover journals. Let’s talk about the phenomenal packaging! These two hardcover notebooks come in sturdy and protective packaging. Excellent and well thought-out. Protected from bending and moisture. This journal surprised me a bit. Pages are thin/feel cheap compared to their smaller hardcover journals (much thicker paper, but priced the same as these). Not a deal breaker. If you’re archiving stuff, maybe use a nicer thickness paper journal. But… it is nice these use acid free paper. And when I use my Pilot G-2 gel pens and Uniball Signo 207 pens there is no bleed thru. That’s what matters to me. Nice that the pages are perforated. If you make a mistake can cleanly tear it out without messing up the spine. At $10-11, these are a great value. If they went up to $16 there are better contenders out there to consider. My suggestion: if you like these, order in bulk to avoid price swings. I manually counted the sheets in my notebook (as of Nov-2025): 168 lined sheets (336 pages to write on). 1 blank sheet at beginning. 1 blank sheet at end.

I don't normally review something with thousands of existing reviews, but I am delighted with the quality and value combination of this product! The hardcover binding is neat and flat, the sheet quality acceptable, and the overall value, exemplary!

I was pleasantly surprised by this journal! There are no margins or unwanted text. The ruled lines are gray. Every single page is perforated. It's well-made and durable. And, more importantly, it's inexpensive. Great product!

I bought these to help with work organization. I was pleased with the durability. I wanted a hardcover because I’m always on the go and I didn’t want something that would fall apart. The size fits neatly in my purse. Despite being lugged around and pulled in and out it’s maintained its original integrity. The pages do not bleed through. It has a cloth bookmark attached so I can easily pick up where I left off. I’m completely satisfied with this product and can recommend it with confidence.

Well constructed and visually appealing. Would buy again.
