Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2025Style: RuledVerified PurchasePurchased for own use, very good, lays flat, nice color, durable, convenient.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2023Style: GridVerified PurchaseThe Amazon Basics Classic Grid Notebook has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. Its simple yet functional design, combined with excellent paper quality, makes it a reliable choice for jotting down notes, sketches, and ideas.
Pros:
High-Quality Paper: The notebook features 240 pages of thick, acid-free paper. It's a pleasure to write or draw on, as there's minimal ink bleed-through, even with fountain pens or markers. The paper is also resistant to yellowing over time.
Graph Ruled Pages: The graph-ruled pages are perfect for various tasks, from creating organized lists and diagrams to sketching or doing complex calculations. The grid lines are clear and consistent, aiding in neat and precise work.
Durable Hardcover: The hardcover provides excellent protection for your notes and sketches, ensuring they remain intact and safe from damage in your bag or on your desk.
Lay-Flat Design: The notebook lies flat when opened, allowing for a seamless writing or drawing experience across the entire page. There's no need to wrestle with pages that curl up at the edges.
Generous Page Count: With 240 pages, this notebook lasts a long time, making it suitable for both short-term projects and long-term journaling.
Built-in Ribbon Marker: A built-in ribbon marker makes it easy to find your current page quickly, whether you're using the notebook for daily journaling or keeping track of tasks and deadlines.
Pocket at the Back: The pocket at the back of the notebook is handy for storing loose papers, business cards, or small notes.
Affordable Price: The Amazon Basics brand offers excellent value for the quality you receive. You get a high-quality notebook without breaking the bank.
Cons:
Limited Color Options: While the classic black cover is sleek and timeless, some users might appreciate more color choices to suit their personal preferences.
In summary, the Amazon Basics Classic Grid Notebook is a reliable and high-quality choice for anyone in need of a versatile notebook. Whether you're a student, professional, artist, or simply someone who enjoys jotting down thoughts and ideas, this notebook is up to the task. The combination of excellent paper quality, durable hardcover, and thoughtful design features sets it apart. And with its budget-friendly price point, it's an exceptional value. I highly recommend the Amazon Basics Classic Grid Notebook for anyone seeking a dependable and versatile notebook for daily use.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025Style: RuledVerified PurchaseI got this for journaling. I practice affirmation scripting in the morning, and this is perfect for that. Right after buying this I found a deal on WM for a 6 pack of these types of journals that ends up costing less than $5 each. Because of that, I marked this as 4 star. Otherwise, this does what's it's supposed to do. Give you a place to write what you want to write!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019Style: GridVerified PurchaseI've typically shied away from using a bound book to take notes in. My notes seem so fleeting and temporary; putting them down in a book seemed entirely more permanent than anything I'd need. That being said, after years of switching between various pads of paper, digital notes (which have their place, don't misunderstand), index cards, post-it notes, dry-erase boards, etc., I think I've finally come around on the idea of taking notes in a book -- particularly one that manages to so deftly balance quality with affordability.
There's nothing special about this book. It does not have a pen holder, or pockets for loose papers, or a calendar, or pre-printed page numbers, or anything else extraneous. There isn't even a "This Book Belongs To" title page of any sort. It's just a very well crafted book for writing. I prefer graphing paper for note-taking: it keeps my writing from wandering vertically and allows me to line up indents for headers or topic changes. If I need to sketch out an idea, it provides scale. When I need to scan through my previous notes, the cleanliness of my indentations afforded by the graphing paper make finding the needed information simple and frustration-free.
The pages have a slight sepia coloration to them, which I very much enjoy - it is neither glaringly bright nor ickily cream. The graph lines are clearly distinguished but do not distract from your writing. The first graphing page of the book does seem to be somewhat married to the thicker stocked separator page, but skipping the first page also allows for a clean entrance into the book each time it's opened from the front cover (as opposed to using the bookmark to jump directly into one's current position). Otherwise, the pages can fold over flat when writing in the book without separating from the binding.
The built-in bookmark keeps your place in the book, as you'd expect. The elastic band keeps the book closed when storing and transporting it. The corners of the non-binding side of the book are rounded just enough so that they won't catch on anything or cut into one's hand while resting it on the edges to write.
I use the Sakura Pigma 50221 Micron pens to write in the book; they don't bleed through the pages or smear on my hand (or onto opposite pages when the book is closed). As I have not tried any other sort of pen, I cannot attribute the lack of bleed-through to the quality of the paper, or the quality of the pens; in any case, they go well together and I would recommend the user of one to consider the other.
Other than the very small, discrete "AmazonBasics" imprint on the lower back cover, there's no labels or badges on the book at all. It's a very elegant design that does exactly what you're purchasing it to do. If, for archival purposes, the need arises for an external label, it is up to the owner to devise their own solution -- and I'm fine with that.
The size of the book itself is perfect: large enough to record a reasonable amount of information on a page, but not uncomfortable or unwieldy to use in a moment's notice or on an unexpected surface. Its small footprint makes it easy to leave out on a desk without feeling as though valuable real estate is being consumed, which also ensures that it's quickly available for your writing needs.
Overall, I strongly recommend this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025Style: RuledVerified PurchaseGreat notebook. Bought 2 more.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2025Style: RuledVerified Purchasegreat booklet. I hope to fine another in a smaller size too. Thanks Amazon.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2024Style: RuledVerified PurchaseMy comparable Moleskine notebook was getting expensive and these were tried as my alternative. They looked to fill the part at a MUCH MORE reasonable price.
If any differences in paper quality exist as other reviews have mentioned, none have been noticeable nor significant (general note taking with gel pens).
After about 1000 pages worth of books in over the course of a couple years and I have not looked back! And as of this writing, I have four more books ready and waiting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality but probably get it when there's a deal
Style: GridVerified PurchaseGood size and it's nice that the notebook is dotted. It has an elastic strap to close it, a string to mark your place in the book, and a pocket at the end of the book to store stuff. The paper is about as thick as your typical printer paper and the cover is sturdy.
I bought it when it had a deal so I could write crochet patterns in it, but I think it would also be great for for note-taking or scrapbooking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfecto para el día a día, calidad precio :)
Style: GridVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Utilizó plumas de Azor 0.7 mm, plumones y ninguno se traspasa a la hoja de abajo.
El tamaño es ideal B5, tiene su pocket atrás, resorte para cerrar y un listón para marcar páginas.
Las hojas son de gran calidad, un color amarillo suave que no cansa la vista y los cuadros son sutiles por lo que no interfieren en la escritura.
Es cosido y resistente.
He comprado 4 veces!! Me encanta
Este tiene aprox 1 año de uso (no diario) y la pasta ya se empezó a dañar un poco pero nada que afecte.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality and Elegance
Style: GridVerified PurchaseSo, here's the real scoop on this notebook—it's a game-changer! 🌟
I'm now onto my second one, and honestly, it's just the best bang for your buck. The cover, nice and soft, yet durable, gives it a touch of class. The pages? They're just good, solid quality, and I don't have to tiptoe around with them.
Now, the pocket in the back, that's a nifty addition. It's like the notebook went to charm school and learned all the right moves. I've passed on the recommendation to my work buddies, and they're on board too.
Writing in this notebook feels genuine. No fluff—just a smooth surface that's open to whatever you want to put on it. Whether it's work notes or a doodle, it's become my trusty sidekick.
Bonus: Fountain pen enthusiasts, rejoice! You can use your favorite pen without a worry - this notebook handles it with grace.
