PAPERAGE Lined Journal Notebook (Hardcover, Black, 160 pages) review 2026

160-page hardcover notebook with 100 GSM thick paper

Is the PAPERAGE Lined Journal Notebook Worth It?

Best basic hardcover notebook. A solid, specced hardcover notebook. We found a widely-repeated "Wirecutter pick" claim for it but could not confirm that directly on Wirecutter's own site, so we're not repeating it here — judged on its own paper and binding specs instead.

PAPERAGE Lined Journal Notebook Pros & Cons

Pros
  • 160 lined pages of 100 GSM thick paper per the Amazon listing
  • Compact 5.6"×8" hardcover size
  • Widely available at a low price point
Cons
  • A "Wirecutter pick" claim we found for this notebook traced only to a page with a commercial interest in repeating it, not to nytimes.com directly — left out of this review entirely
  • Current price could not be independently confirmed at publish time
  • No independently confirmed outlet review found
