MarumanN236 Notebook, Ring Notebook, 0.26 inches (6.5 mm), Ruled, Basic B5, 40 Pieces, Set of 10

I found these in a bookstore about 2 years ago and bought a few. I'm a writer and love notebooks. These caught my eye because they aren't overly thick, their size is just a little smaller than traditional 8.5 x 11 notebooks, and their college rule lines are my preference. I end up writing in series or projects and the size of these with their number of pages allows me to keep notes of projects. The cover has lines that let me add details so I can quickly go back to a project to review it. And, because the pages are a good number but not as large as traditional notebooks I actual fill one out entirely instead of leaving half-filled notebooks everywhere. I opted to buy the ten pack because I will use them. They are a favorite.

A really outstanding notebook. 6.5 mm is a great rule spacing. Paper is very high quality. Perforations are perfect. Covers are sturdy (you’ll still need a hard surface to write on, but they’ll hold up if you’re not abusing them). B5 is the perfect size. I really love this spiral notebook (something I never thought I’d have occasion to write is say). Highly recommend!

EXACTLY what I was looking for. I bought Maruman notebooks when I was in Japan and couldn’t find them in the US. I found them here again a and had to buy them! They are great quality paper.
