Overview
RETTACY A5 Lined Notebook, Leather Hardcover Journal, 320 sits on our office paper shelf, where the ranking comes from what buyers actually said rather than from what the box says. From the seller's own listing: This A5 journal contains 160 sheets(320 ruled pages) with pre-printed page numbers and an index page, helping you quickly locate recorded notes without confusion. Thicker than ordinary paper, these high‑density inner pages help reduce ink bleeding and ghosting for near no‑bleed performance. Works well with fountain pens, rollerballs. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. It holds 4.8 out of 5 on Amazon from 2,000 ratings. Where that leaves it next to the rest of the shelf is set out below.
Across the 50 rated office paper products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.6 out of 5. This one scores 4.8. Top quarter of the shelf. In an aisle where nearly everything rates well, the distance above the middle is the part worth reading, and this one has it. Weighted for review volume, we place it fourth on this shelf.
2,000 people rated it, where the shelf median is 2,702. That's enough for the score to mean something without being the last word on it.
On money, this sits in the middle third of a shelf running from £1.50 to £37.00, with the midpoint around £6.99. That's where most sensible buys land, neither the cheapest thing on the shelf nor the one you pay a name for.
Worked out from the 50 office paper products we track, not from the brand's own claims.
