WANDERINGS A5 Dotted Grid Travelers Notebook Insert / A5 Journal Refill | 5.5" x 8.3" / 14cm x 21cm | 3 Booklets, 240 Blank Pages | Travelers Notebook Refills for Journals, Diaries, Planners

I use quite a variety of pads and notepads for work, along with many fountain pens. I like to mix and match. I found these almost by accident when looking for a cheaper alternative to Travelers Notebook inserts, that I was getting through at an alarming rate. I used the Wanderings TN ones, and was delighted, especially as they had a sewn binding rather than being saddle stitched (stapled) -- meaning they lie flat when opened.The mistake I made was ordering A5 when I had wanted the TN ones. But it made me switch my work notebook use to these.Anyway. They're great. I use them often as my daily notepad. Most often with an EF Lamy Eco or Fine Lamy 2000 fountain pen.- They open and lie flat. Stitched binding is robust.- The paper is fountain pen friendly -- I haven't had any bleed to talk of, and show-through is not really noticeable -- apart from when I've used a really juicy nib. But for my fine to medium preference, no problems at all.- It's relatively smooth paper, with just a little feel- The size (well the ones I've had) are actually juts narrower than A5. I didn't even notice for some time...219mm x 140m - so about 8mm narrower.- Craft paper cover- Dots are Goldilocks level for me, not too dark, not too light, just right. They do move a little on the page throughout the notebook. from front to back this is maybe 5mm. Thus is the nature of binding grid and dot patterns.- Good and robust, they just get thrown in my back-pack and have survived well!Overall, for the price, I really like them.

Brilliant- great quality paper and price.

Great notebooks with dotted pages which let me set out my 2025 bulletin journal easily and with no bleed through. They look great with the layouts set and various ‘embellishments’ like washi tape etc. This is a repeat order of these books as the first lot I had worked really well so bought the same type from the same company and the quality is the same.Highly recommended, especially for bullet journal users.

Very good quality paper with no bleed through even when using watercolour pens (although I haven’t tried them with water as yet, just used them as felt tips). The only downside is that the dots are a little dark for my liking. Otherwise very good value for money.

Absolutely perfect size for inside my passport holder

As expected, will repurchase, great for my TN passport size.

I found the pages are very thick and the strongly printed dots makes the page messy

Great size to take around with you. Good quality paper, especially for the price. Holds ink from all my pens well, with a bit of ghosting from heavier flow fountain pens.
