I also tested a whole array of rollerball, felt tip and miscellaneous pens as well with equally good results. There was no bleed or show through with any of my fountain pens. The light lines and great quality paper got big thumbs up from me. The paper inside though more than made up for the blah covers. I liked some of the other covers better but it could have been worse. The cover artwork was a little preppy but not the worst I’ve seen. It featured gold foil details on the cover and light blue college ruling.
Next up is the Mead (fancy) Composition Book that I bought at Target. I would give the UStyle Collections Composition Book an A-! I’m only marking it down for the dark lines. There’s a little show through but nothing terrible. This would be fine practice paper for calligraphy. The lines resisted a bit of ink but not too badly. So I hit it with my favorite modified Pilot Parallel folded nib pen and had no issues. And going….Įven after all the pens and pencils, there was no bleed through and very little show through. Lo and behold, it didn’t feather! So I kept going. I figured I’d hit it with the widest pen I had first and get it out of the way. I went ahead and hit it with my Sailor music nib first. The ruling inside was college but a bit wider and darker than I prefer but I hoped for the best. I like the gold metallic tape and the color block design on the cover was nice. I purchased it at a drugstore in the aisle between the bulk candy and the sunscreen so I wasn’t expecting much. To be honest, my expectations for this one was the lowest. These were not the $0.50 a piece versions, so my expectations were pretty high.Īll the ones I chose had fancy foil on the cover and modern designs - no simple, black splotchy covers! UStyle Collections Composition Bookįirst up is the UStyle Collections from CVS. Unfortunately, I misplaced my reciept from Target but the prices for the composition books from Target ranged between $1.75 and $3.99 if I remember correctly, obviously prices will vary depending on sales. I stopped at CVS and grabbed a full-sized UStyle Colllection ($3.49) and a smaller pocket-sized version as well ($1.99, not shown) and then went to Target and got a couple Green Room composition books, Gartner brand and Mead (fancy with gold foil) composition books. Partially inspired by Les’ Composition Book posts and her conversation a few weeks ago with Brad and my own back-to-school nostalgia, I purchased a handful of composition books and decided to test drive them myself.
