Great paper but overpriced and binding is meh

The paper itself is outstanding. However, despite the price you get 24 sheets that are simply folded in half between a recycled paper cover and held together with two staples. Because I've been shopping this kind of product, Amzn wants $10 for it now. For that money, you can buy a hardcover, bound book of comparable size elsewhere. Even $1 composition books have better binding than this. However, the sheets were shaped heavily so it does pack relatively thin and lays relatively flat. I use these notebooks professionally and are occasionally viewed by clients. Again, the paper is outstanding (the right amount of contrast and little to no bleedthrough with pens and highlighters) but the cover and binding really tweak me for the asking price. I bind books as a hobby, so if I could get this paper separately (and at a reasonable price) I'd just bind my own.
