Review: Awesome paper, especially for fountain pens. Great price, as well. - Maruman makes exceptional paper. My favorite notebook of all time is the Maruman Mnemosyne 199, which is an A4 size lined notebook with a durable plastic cover. The trouble with the 199, though, is that it has gotten REALLY expensive recently. So I decided to give this notebook a try and boy am I glad I did! It does not have the thick cardboard backing nor the thick plastic cover of the Mnemosyne but it DOES have luxurious paper like the 199. The 199 has 80gsm paper, where this is 70gsm, so the paper in this notebook is a little thinner, but it is hard to tell unless you put one of each paper in your hand and think real hard about it. I did a writing test on both types of paper using a large variety of nibs and ink combinations and the result was that there was very little difference between the two papers in terms of performance, feathering, bleed-through, and ghosting. They both did exceptionally well in all regards. There were equal instances where if one paper performed a little better in one case, the other performed a little better in another. This notebook has 6.5 mm ruling while the Mnemosyne has 7mm. The result is that you get two more lines per page, which gives you a slightly lower cost per line. The difference between 6.5mm and 7mm is so small as to pretty much be unnoticeable. In addition to a couple more lines per page, this notebook has 10 more sheets of paper in it than the 199 (20 more sides). The fact that this notebook has more paper and more lines per page and costs way less than the 199 makes it a GREAT BUY. The 199 recently went from $15 to $20 on desertcart. With this notebook being around $10, it is an amazing value for the quality you get. After putting both papers to the test, the only reason I can see to get the more expensive 199 over this is if you plan on carrying your notebook around a lot, tossing it in and out of a backpack or whatever, where the more durable covers and doubled wire binding of the 199 add to its ruggedness. The covers on this notebook are very stiff, though, much more so than a typical "cheapo" school notebook. Unless you plan on really abusing your notebook this one should hold up well even going back and forth between classes. The only other reason to go with the 199 is if you want that little tiny bit more luxury feel of a slightly thicker paper - MAN do you pay a high premium for that, though. While I love my Mnemosyne 199 notebooks, this one really has me questioning whether I should continue to pay so much more for them. I mainly use them for journaling at home and truly don't need the durability of the cover and thicker cardboard back. I am definitely going to order more of these while I ponder if the 199 just got bumped off the top of my list... Review: Great quality product 🀌🀌🀌 - Very well made book. Very very minimal bleeding through the pages too meaning the pages are thick enough. The color is a bit warm so it's not a harsh white color. It's exactly A4 size which is good. I like the small details such as small arrows indicating half the page and also a easy tear-off. The cover is sturdy too. As you can see in the photos the writing and highlighting 3 times doesn't bleed through very much and I'm a heavy handed writer. ## Features - [PREMIUM JAPANESE PAPER] Features 80 sheets (160 pages) of Maruman’s original smooth, acid-free paper that resists ink bleed and supports fountain pens, gel pens, and ballpoints with ease - [MICRO-PERFORATED PAGES] Clean, effortless page removal makes this spiral notebook perfect for assignments, memos, to-do lists, or sharing notes without tearing - [DURABLE KRAFT COVER] Lightweight yet sturdy textured kraft cover protects your notes while maintaining a simple, minimal aesthetic suited for school, work, or everyday life - [LAY-FLAT SPIRAL BINDING] Wire-bound construction allows pages to turn smoothly, fold completely flat, or wrap back neatly in tight workspaces like school desks and cafes - [DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY USE] Rounded ring ends prevent snagging in bags for easy portability, while the versatile A4 size is suitable for study sessions, business meetings, journaling, and creative projects ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HA23N5A | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,112 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #172 in Composition Notebooks #341 in Spiral Notebooks | | Binding | Notebook | | Brand Name | Maruman | | Color | White | | Cover Material | Cardboard | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (711) | | Item Dimensions L x W | 11.69"L x 8.98"W | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 11.69"L x 8.98"W x 0.35"Th | | Item Type Name | Notebook | | Item Weight | 286 Grams | | Manufacturer | Maruman Corporation | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pages | 160 | | Paper Size | 8.58 x 11.69 inches (A4) after detached | | Pattern | Single Item | | Ruling Type | Squared | | Special Features | Extra Rigid Kraft Cardboard Cover | | Specific Uses For Product | School, Business, Idea Notebook | | Style | Squared | | Theme | Elegant Simplicity | | UPC | 785525696517 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Maruman - **Color:** White - **Cover Material:** Cardboard - **Pages:** 160 - **Product Dimensions:** 11.69"L x 8.98"W x 0.35"Th - **Ruling Type:** Squared - **Sheet Size:** 8.58 x 11.69 inches (A4) after detached - **Special Feature:** Extra Rigid Kraft Cardboard Cover - **Style:** Squared - **Theme:** Elegant Simplicity ## Images ![Spiral Note Basic Grid Notebook- A4, 11.69" x 8.98", 80 Sheets / 160 Pages, 5mm Graph Paper Journal, Perforated Pages & Wire-Bound to Lay Flat, Sturdy Kraft Cover, Made in Japan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616xi5lsQ2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome paper, especially for fountain pens.

I love the feel of the paper, how easy it is to tear out a page, seriously, I have never ripped a sheet by accident while removing it. The Mnemosyne line is great for work, but I love using this stuff for penpaling, no header, so it feels less formal, but still high quality compared to typical cheaper sheets. Give it a try, you wont go back! ## Frequently Bought Together - Maruman SPIRAL NOTE BASIC 8.58 x 11.69 inches (A4) after detached, 5mm-squared, 80 Sheets (N245ES) - Maruman MNEMOSYNE Notebook 9.92 x 7.05 Inches (B5), 7mm ruled 30-line, 80 Sheets (N194A), Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/15578543-spiral-note-basic-grid-notebook-a4-11-69-x-8](https://www.desertcart.at/products/15578543-spiral-note-basic-grid-notebook-a4-11-69-x-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
