  This is my faaavourite..., June 13, 2011
This is my faaavourite notebook :) 6mm lines mean you can fit more writing, use your fine pens, and it has lovely smooth paper of that faint honey white with light, fine blue-grey lines which don't overpower pencil or pen. It's the right cloth bound thickness that it falls open easily.. I use this as my everything notebook, it comes everywhere with me - plus B5 is more portable than A4. It's my favourite page size, visually more proportionate than A4. The double page spread is an inviting workspace :) Allocated lines for headings and date encourage good recordkeeping for a book without perforations, I just use it in chronological order and know I won't lose any of my notes. Horizontal and vertical measurement markers help divide up a table quickly. The paper loves noodlers bulletproof black + sailor/lamy EF nibs :)
Does not need a cover - I used it like this at uni for a year. It gets a little tattered and tufty at the corners, but doesn't fall apart. I change bags more now, so I've started using the black systemic cover designed for it. Good canvas, adds some storage for loose leaves, looks more professional at work (even though it's definitely not just work on the inside).
Oh - and lots of pages and unimposing lines means it's also good for sketching out draft design concepts etc.
The best notebook! Aesthetically pleasing and so practical :)

  I'd use this notebook..., May 11, 2012
By mis...
I'd use this notebook for school or anywhere as long as I'm at a desk, since the covers are soft and too flexible to support it without a hard surface underneath.
The other reviews are correct, the paper is wonderful, the 6mm ruled lines are great, and the 100 page count is awesome, you'll never run out of space mid-semester!
BUT, I have to take away one star for the binding. First of all, you can't fold the cover around to the back like with a spiral bound. Also, glue binding is typically inconsistent from page to page; what I mean is, some pages are glued closer to the binding than others--it seems to be every other page in this notebook! Also, the glue is often inconsistent from the top to bottom of a single page...what happens is, when you turn that page, it wont lay flat. You practically have to break the binding every time you turn a page!
If this was a twin ring notebook with a hard cover, I'd give it 6 stars and buy ten of em right now!
Otherwise, everything else about this notebook is worthy of 5+ stars!

This review is from Kokuyo Campus Notebook - Semi B5 (7" X 9.8") - Normal Rule - 35 Lines X 100 Sheets - Bundle of 5
I write a fair bit, about 25 pages a day and absolutely love these notebooks. This is some of the best paper I've ever used and will absolutely be buying more. Makes note taking a pleasure.

I switched to these from Apica and am extremely impressed.

You guys will not be disappointed!! Buy without hesitation!!

Jetpens never fails to deliver and delight! I got these Kokuyo Campus notebooks today and can really use them, and know they'll be smooth and comfortable to write on because I've used Kokuyos before. This particular page count is very helpful. Jetpens is consistently reliable and prompt in their delivery, and that free shipping on orders over $25 is great.

Question: Do you think you'll ever consider carrying Tsubame notebooks, or resume carrying the Apica CD15s?

Thanks again.

  This is great paper...., December 29, 2010
This review is from Kokuyo Campus Notebook - Semi B5 (7" X 9.8") - Normal Rule - 30 Lines X 80 Sheets
This is great paper. In fact, I can't really tell the difference between this paper and the more expensive MIO paper, except the MIO seems to be slightly smoother. It's not up there with the Cyo-Bo paper, but it does hold up to very heavy fountain pen ink, and most gel pens, pretty well. I've written on mine with Noodler's Eel blue, Noodler's black, and Sailor's Gentle inks with zero feathering or bleed through--even with a wet nib (Sailor Naginata Togi). My only complaint is the covers are fragile. Also, the pointed corners show a lot of wear. Slip one of these into a Kokuyo Systemic nylon cover, however, and you have a very durable notebook filled with great paper.

The best Notebook!! A little more than a normal notebooks but its worth it!! The paper is really smooth and i feel like it improves your handwritting. I also suggest the Kokuyo Campus Todai Series Pre-Dotted Adhesive-Bound Notebook - Semi B5 (7" X 9.8") - 7 mm - 30 Sheets
These are tbest notebooks you will find!!! I also prefer using this for school, esay to carry around and since the cover is a soft cover it is flexible!! A MUST BUY!!!..

This review is from Kokuyo Campus Notebook - A5 (5.8" X 8.3") - Normal Rule - 24 Lines X 70 Sheets
This notebook is my favourite to use for school! I have a lot of 30 and 40-sheet versions of this, but it's not enough for some of my classes... I used up my 70-sheet books last year. v_v

Received my bundle yesterday and within an hour ordered another bundle. Paper is nice and smooth. No bleed through or heavy show-through with my fountain pens. I also like the smaller paper size, but it still gives you enough room to write.

These are good for notes if you like smaller note books. This does pack a punch for it's small size, eighty pages with such nice lines.
