Mead Notebook Review

4.2/5 - (11 votes)

Hey folks, let’s jump right into a **meet spiral bound notebook** review. It’s a favorite ’cause it’s dirt cheap and has a **classic look**. Priced at just a couple bucks, the paper’s quality is pretty decent. It’s 7 by 5 inches (17.7 by 12.7 cm), which means a B6 size with **80 sheets or 160 pages**. The notebook’s cover is stiff and yellowish-tan, made from cardboard on both sides, and the rounded spiral-bound edges give it a nice touch. Surprisingly good paper for such a low price. There’s something oddly satisfying about the crinkling pages. With 60-gram paper, it’s light, smooth, and does a good job. I tried a regular pencil, ballpoint pen, gel pen, and even a fountain pen with Diamine Marine ink – they all worked well. There was just a bit of feathering with the fountain pen and minimal ghosting on the back, but barely any bleed-through. So, if you’re on the hunt for a cheap, compact spiral-bound notebook you can easily carry in your pocket or purse without breaking the bank, this one’s for you. The paper is quite white with light blue 7mm college-ruled lines. Give a thumbs up if you enjoyed this review and check out my channel for more notebook insights. Thanks a bunch!

It’s this stiff, yellowish tan cardboard cover front and back. This is what the back looks like, as i said, as you can see spiral bound. It has rounded edges.

The paper quality fo  r such a cheap notebook is actually quite decent. I kind of like the way it crinkles when you turn the pages. I don’t know it’s a weird thing i like.

My guess is around 60 gram paper, it’s fairly light and it’s also quite smooth and it performs decent. So, let’s check out my writing sample this regular pencil, big round, stick ballpoint pen, gel pen, uniball signo and then the pilot metropolitan medium, fountain pen with diamine marine ink, and it actually handles everything quite well. There is just a tiny bit of feathering with the fountain pen and it soaks up quite a little bit of ink, but it performs well.

Let’s check out the back, there’s a little bit of ghosting, but not really any major bleed through here. I don’t even know if this is a bleed through or just ghosting, it’s kind of hard to hard to tell so i’d say it performs really well, even with fountain pens.
