Potential Frustration due to change of paper-type, and lack of detailed specifications from manufacturer
I looked up this product on the internet; I was searching for something very specific in terms of size, cover, and number of pages, all of which had to be blank.
I discovered they were sold in packs of three, which suited me; I was planning to buy 30 books in all having 'tested' a few first. I later discovered the books were sold singly, but they had a sticker on the front which, when peeled off, left a discoloured mark. Sticking labels on porous book-covers is very poor, and also, wasteful.
I ordered 10 packs of three books, but could only pick up five at a time, which was frustrating. When I took the first five packs home I noticed they had different paper. The first pack-of -three used rough, matt paper of around 110 gsm; the subsequent packs were of thinner, and gloss paper.
While this was ideal for me, I worried that the net batch of five packs-of-three would have the thicker, rough paper. I needed all the books to be the same.
Luckily (for me) the paper was the same gloss finish.
The lack of clear, accurate, and fully comprehensive 'spec' information from the manufacturer, Kraft, was the main problem here. The product specification should state the type and weight of paper, exact size, including dimension and number of pages, specify what the cover is made of (and what alternatives there are) and whether the product is the same when sold singly or in packs.
I was glad that this purchase worked out well for me; others might be left disappointed.

Great wee books
Bought to stop the kids moaning at how long I was taking choosing fabric and threads. They have both had a great time decorating the covers and filling them with doodles and drawings. Great price for sturdy wee books. Good quality paper that my 4 year old hasnt worn through with felt tip colouring.

Excellent
These A5 sketchbooks are perfect, they have nice quality paper inside and they come in a pack of three. I particularly like the brown covered ones as they are plain and all matching and you can decorate them yourself if you like. I buy packs of these all the time, especially for uni.

Worth the money
Good buy.
Children have been using water colour paints and the amount of water they have used hasn't made the paper soggy.
Dried well and lovely way to keep children's art and creative work in their own personal small book

Great quality little notebook
This notebook is good quality, especially for only £1 per book. We used them to cover with material as practise using a sewing machine for hems.
