Picky?

These are great for anyone looking for tiny, on-the-go notebooks. Nothing I have is as small as this. I do own much thinner notebooks, but they would not fit in a pocket or a waist bag when I want to go super casual.I like the quality of Zicoto: these colors are perfect for my aesthetic, the paper thickness is perfect, and the front and back covers are lovely. Having so many makes it convenient for keeping one in every room of the house. Or, for different domains of life.I guess the only thing is, I wonder why the top corners aren't rounded too?

These small spiral notebooks are way nicer than I expected! Well crafted with quality materials. They have nice thick paper with well inked lines and heavy covers. Each notepad contains 25 pages. Highly recommended!

This is a very nice set of mini lined notebooks in neutral earth tones. The front and back covers are a heavy cardstock and the words "Notes" is pressed into each cover. They are the prefect size to slip into a purse, backpack, or briefcase for jotting down quit notes or lists. I also keep some on the counter for when I need to write down a phone number or message. The spiral bindings seem to be of good quality and not flimsy. The pages also tear out easily. I'm very pleased with this set overall.

This is a review for ZICOTO Aesthetic Pocket Notebooks Set Of 8 - Small 3x5 Spiral Notepads With Lined Pages.I'm so happy with these notebooks!!! Seriously, these are incredibly nice notebooks.APPEARANCE: Each one is a different color. They look so minimalist and professional. The cover (a very heavy, textured card stock) is thick but still a bit bendable if you need the flexibility. The coils/wires are even and no stray bits hanging off to scratch something in your bag or pocket.USE: As much as I love the appearance, if the paper was bad, these notebooks would not be usable. The good news? The paper is a great quality. Smooth. I wrote on it with a fountain pen, gel pen and sharpie. No surprise the sharpie bled through (see photos) but the fountain pen and gel pen did not. Now, to be fair, the ink in my fountain pen is not super heavy. Another fountain pen may bleed through to the other side. But probably not too bad.VALUE: At US$7 at the time of this writing for 8 notebooks I'd say these are a good value. I hope they are still around when I use up these and need more.

These are what I would call standard mini spiral notebooks. Everything was packaged in a nice box like it was a gift set. Now some companies make theirs with 60 pages instead of the 50 pages in these notebooks but these do have a double ring spiral binding so it doesn't deform as easily and the paper tends to not accidentally rip off compared to a single ring binding. All in all these are just notebooks but at the current price working out to 87 cents a piece you will be hard pressed to find much savings from any other vendor unless you were buying a large bulk. I use these type pads all the time for quick notes while in the car or in the field and have had to buy a replacement for more than $1.00 on more than one occasion. So I have no complaints and would order again once my supply runs low.

These are almost too well-made for what I plan to use them for! The cardboard is extra thick and has a rich leathery look to it. Event the paper is quite a bit thicker than similar notebooks that you might find in a typical big-box store. We go through a lot of spiral-bound notebooks of this type just for simple one-time uses like shopping and to-do lists. These could hold up for other purposes that might require more durability and finer appearance than similar cheaper notebooks (nothing specific comes to mind but...). One thing that I thought was a little over the top and unnecessary for the seller is that the notebooks were packaged in a rather overly well-made box that I threw in the recycle bin immediately after opening it. A cheaper box or cellophane wrapper would have worked just fine. Anyway, these are really good quality and I highly recommend them.

This 8-pack of spiral, top-flip notebooks are a good value buy.The notebooks come in a single box. There are eight of the with a couple different neutral covers - greens, browns, and grays. In addition to those hardy, colored front and back covers, each notebook has 8 plastic spiral rings at the top to go along with 50 ruled pages inside. Each page has a bigger top margin and then usual notebook-spacing ruled lines (14 or 15 lines, depending if you count the bottom one). The pages are easy to write on with pen or paper and pen does not bleed through to the next page. Full sized Sharpie markers can bleed through if you write heavy with them.Because of the hardy covers, you can hold a notebook in your off hand and write comfortably. You can also put the notebooks down on a table or desk, and because the plastic spirals have some give, the notebooks are essentially flat when you write on them on a surface.For better or worse, the only perceived downside is that there is no perforation at the top of the pages. If you choose to tear them out, you are left with spiral paper fringe bits at the top of the torn out page.Overall, these are handy notebooks and for the price with the durable front and back covers, they are a really good value.

Our family goes through a LOT of little notebooks, and these worked great for us! They are a small size and easily fit in any pocket, purse, or desk drawer. The paper isn't too thin and there are enough sheets in each book to take notes, draw pictures, or just doodle.
