## Questions & Answers

**Q: Anyone use these with a fountain pen? The Tops Reporters pads absorb ink like a sponge, so their not useful.**
A: These Notebooks have been used by professional reporters for many, many years.  They go back to the days of pencils and early ballpoint pens.  I use mine to keep my different Genealogy family notes separated.  I have used pencil, ballpoint and uniball without any bleed through.

**Q: also have the question is this "narrow" ruled (college ruled) or regular (wide) spacing?  I am looking for the narrow ruled. thanks.**
A: I looked on the cover of the notebook and it said, "Gregg ruled". This appears to be between college and wide spacing.

**Q: Is the paper acid free?**
A: Sorry, I can’t confirm this….however, I really like the quality, convenience and durability of these note pads!

**Q: Are sticky note tabs actually sticky and effective?**
A: I didn’t get the sticky note tabs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The right notebook for reporters
*by M***Y on March 15, 2026*

Can't seem to get these at our local office supply stores, but they're just what a reporter/blogger needs, so I was happy to find them on Amazon. I like the college rules, and of course they're skinny enough to fit in your back pocket.
