In no partcular order…

1. Pilot Black Note Notebook

  • Price: $38 – $40 USD
  • Paper: 160 GSM
  • 48 pages
  • 7mm dot grid
  • B5 page size (6.9 x 9.8″ high or 17.6cm wide x 25cm high)
  • Softcover
  • Glue binding

The cheapest notebook on the list at only $7.20. If you’ve never tried blackout paper and don’t want to pay a lot more for a notebook with heaps of pages, start with this one. It has a larger dot grid at 7mm but a larger page size too (most notebooks are A5, this one is B5).
