I bought this paper because of it's fantastic price, at £2 for 320 sheets. When i flicked through the pad in the store it felt alright, wasn't falling to pieces and turning pages it wasn't falling apart or ripping so I thought i'd give it a go. The pad has a shiny front cover but can be written on. The cover can easily be torn out if you don't want it, and the other side can also be used as a plain piece of paper; this side is shiny too so I wouldn't use a fountain pen or a leaky biro on on it... The paper is 65 gsm and quite thin, and it doesn't absorb fountain pens too well. I'd strongly recommend using a standard biro instead. Due to the ...  Read the complete review

I picked up my first Ryman Refill Pad only last week (though I had seen it inside Ryman stores before, and had wondered if I should sample it or not) for the shockingly low price of 99p for 320 pages- what an absolute bargain! You can perhaps purchase the same amount of lined paper in your local pound stores, but of inferior quality by far. For good quality paper, I did not think that Rymans (which I had never thought of before as a particularly bargain worthy store) would be able to supply it for such a low price, and that there had to be some kind of setback on it... right? I absolutely hate writing on bad quality paper- it makes you write slower and ...  Read the complete review

As a college student it is necessary that I have plenty of pads and excess paper about in case I need to write notes in my lessons, or complete work for revision. When I was younger my Mum always bought stationary and pads from WHSmiths because we'd always assumed more money meant more quality. So at first I stopped by my local Smiths and was appalled to realise a simple 200 page refill pad (own brand I might add!) costs £4.29. There was no way I was paying that regardless of whether I was in need of paper or not, so I visited Rymans instead, as it is known for its low prices. They have a selection of refill pads, ranging in price from £0.99 to about £4.00, ...  Read the complete review

As a student I need to use a notebook every day for lecture/revision notes. These Ryman branded refill pads are perfectly suited for this job. I tend to go for the narrow ruled version, as I have quite small handwriting anyway, and you can also fit more on a page! I don't know if it works out any cheaper buying narrow ruled, but I just personally prefer to use it. The Ryman website currently has these priced at £1.59 each, and they frequently have 3 for 2 offers in store. I tend to stock up on these whilst they're on offer, along with some of their graph paper so I don't run out during the year. You can buy these pads with either 100 sheets or 200 sheets of ...  Read the complete review

I recently was in need of an a4 lined paper pad, in the past I have bought from WHSmith but I was looking around Ryman's and found the pads to be a lot cheaper in terms of their own branded products and in comparisson to the popular Pukka Pads. The pad that I bought is different to the above picture and has a bright green cover. It is easily spotted and eye catching. It was priced just under £2, (i'm not sure if it was on offer at the time) but for 320 pages it is a great price. The paper itself has 4 holes like most of the a4 pads, a blue margin and it is lined. I know at times when buying a lined paper pad if the price is cheap, the quality of ...  Read the complete review
