Okay, so I've been using this BookFactory notebook for about a month now, and here's the tea...

First off, the quality is *chef's kiss*. The cover feels premium but isn't rigid - perfect for tossing in my bag without worrying about damage. And that section-sewn binding? Game changer. Lies completely flat which is crucial when I'm scribbling notes during meetings.

The paper quality surprised me - it's thick enough that my fountain pen doesn't bleed through (and trust me, I've tested like 5 different inks). The college-ruled lines are just right - not too wide, not too narrow. Though heads up if you're expecting wide-ruled!

Love the extra features like the User Data page and Table of Contents. Makes it feel more 'official' than a regular notebook. The size is perfect too - big enough to write comfortably but still portable.

Only minor gripe? It's thicc! At almost 3/4" when full, it might not fit in some smaller bags. But honestly, that just means more writing space so I'm not really complaining.

Final verdict? If you're serious about notebooks (like me), this one's definitely worth the investment. Sturdy, functional, and just all-around pleasant to use.
