Not large
It's a decent notepad but if like me you were after an A4 ish size, you'll get an A5 notepad. Not sure why their labelling has "large" on it, it's a standard A5.

Not as good as a Moleskine but then it’s not the same price either. The quality is good though certainly better than some super cheap one you might get. But for the few pounds difference I’ll go with a moleskine next time.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It is just a notebook that gets the job done. I have no real issues with it. It’s great for casual note-taking or just some doodling. The quality is fair for the price. If you are looking to get the best notebook, this isn’t for you. But if you want a notebook that works as a simple, everyday notebook, this would be a great choice. The price is not necessarily cheap, but it is generally quite an inexpensive notebook overall.

Cool features/mentions:
- I like the built-in bookmarker and the elastic that keeps the notebook fully shut. It is very compact. The size is small enough to carry around, and large enough to do all your note-taking, drawing or doodling.

Great replacement for Moleskine and other brands if you want to take notes or do simple sketches, but the paper, though very smooth and good with pens, is very thin and flimsy and will blead if you're putting a lot of ink on the page.

So, here's the real scoop on this notebook—it's a game-changer! 🌟

I'm now onto my second one, and honestly, it's just the best bang for your buck. The cover, nice and soft, yet durable, gives it a touch of class. The pages? They're just good, solid quality, and I don't have to tiptoe around with them.

Now, the pocket in the back, that's a nifty addition. It's like the notebook went to charm school and learned all the right moves. I've passed on the recommendation to my work buddies, and they're on board too.

Writing in this notebook feels genuine. No fluff—just a smooth surface that's open to whatever you want to put on it. Whether it's work notes or a doodle, it's become my trusty sidekick.

Bonus: Fountain pen enthusiasts, rejoice! You can use your favorite pen without a worry - this notebook handles it with grace.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Trusty Companion for Notes and Ideas: Amazon Basics Classic Grid Notebook Review
Reviewed in the United States on 6 September 2023
Size Name: LargeStyle Name: SquaredVerified Purchase
The Amazon Basics Classic Grid Notebook has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. Its simple yet functional design, combined with excellent paper quality, makes it a reliable choice for jotting down notes, sketches, and ideas.

Pros:

High-Quality Paper: The notebook features 240 pages of thick, acid-free paper. It's a pleasure to write or draw on, as there's minimal ink bleed-through, even with fountain pens or markers. The paper is also resistant to yellowing over time.

Graph Ruled Pages: The graph-ruled pages are perfect for various tasks, from creating organized lists and diagrams to sketching or doing complex calculations. The grid lines are clear and consistent, aiding in neat and precise work.

Durable Hardcover: The hardcover provides excellent protection for your notes and sketches, ensuring they remain intact and safe from damage in your bag or on your desk.

Lay-Flat Design: The notebook lies flat when opened, allowing for a seamless writing or drawing experience across the entire page. There's no need to wrestle with pages that curl up at the edges.

Generous Page Count: With 240 pages, this notebook lasts a long time, making it suitable for both short-term projects and long-term journaling.

Built-in Ribbon Marker: A built-in ribbon marker makes it easy to find your current page quickly, whether you're using the notebook for daily journaling or keeping track of tasks and deadlines.

Pocket at the Back: The pocket at the back of the notebook is handy for storing loose papers, business cards, or small notes.

Affordable Price: The Amazon Basics brand offers excellent value for the quality you receive. You get a high-quality notebook without breaking the bank.

Cons:

Limited Color Options: While the classic black cover is sleek and timeless, some users might appreciate more color choices to suit their personal preferences.

In summary, the Amazon Basics Classic Grid Notebook is a reliable and high-quality choice for anyone in need of a versatile notebook. Whether you're a student, professional, artist, or simply someone who enjoys jotting down thoughts and ideas, this notebook is up to the task. The combination of excellent paper quality, durable hardcover, and thoughtful design features sets it apart. And with its budget-friendly price point, it's an exceptional value. I highly recommend the Amazon Basics Classic Grid Notebook for anyone seeking a dependable and versatile notebook for daily use.
