The Cube Works Ring Book is a spiral bound notebook available in two sizes of A4, A5 and A7 and offering a variety of 8 colours -black, blue, orange, green, yellow, white, pink and red.
The pink, red and blue ones are probably more suited for use by younger age-groups where the splash of colour makes these notebooks stand out. The other colours are perfect for office use - sober yet attractive. And for those who want to use these at home, use whatever matches your mood and personality!!
The notebooks have the special cover like the other Cube Works books - a very attractive design. However these spiral notebooks do not have slip covers but the water-proof covers are fixed.
The paper quality is good as usual, but the layout of the pages is better in the Cube Works Flexi as compared to these. The Cube Works Ring Book (A4 and A5) has margins (the spiral binding eats into the margin of the right side pages) and double upper lines . In my view, the top line could have been dispensed with and the regular lines could have started higher up. The pages have a section for Date and No. The top and bottom lines have small dots to make drawing of vertical lines perfectly symmetrical and easy. Each notebook has 160 pages.
I would give these A4 and A5 Ring Books 3.5 stars out of 5.
The A7 Ring Books are a delight. Perfect for a pocket or a purse, esp. if you want to have some paper handy. These too have 160 pages and have the spiral binding at the top, just like other little pocket diaries.
Their layout is just fine for their size and use.
I give these A7 Ring Books 5 stars on 5.
Update: Avoid using ink pens on these books. The paper is not thick enough to prevent ink from showing on the other side.
