Eco-Friendly Mintra 100% Recycled Notebooks - Junior Size 6.5" x 9.5" - 3-Pack Design Set for School, Office & Creative Writing | Sustainable Paper Notebooks for Students, Journaling & Note Taking

I love the recycled nature, and the hard cardboard covers (great for when you need to write on your lap), and the two-pocket insert included. I saw that the paper weight was not that high, but I'd never used sugarcane paper before and thought I'd give it a go. Verdict: the pages are a little slick and as thin as the description suggests. One cheap ballpoint I had couldn't really "grip" the paper's surface well and skipped more than usual. Any gel pen or marker is going to bleed through (see pics). A good ballpoint (top example) is fine, but a 0.7mm pilot G2 starts to bleed through, and my fave Sharpie S-Gel bleeds through so much that writing on both sides of a page with it would look very messy. Sharpie markers are right out.As I said, the description is accurate, and the price is good for the overall build quality of the notebook, but whether you'll be pleased with the paper will probably depend on your pen.
