Dot Grid Notebook: Dusty Rose Cover Grey Dotted Notebook 110 Pages Size (8.5 x 11 inches)

I had bought two similarly branded notebooks from a different seller before, with which I was pleased. The pages were thick enough for me to use a highlighter marker on.However, when I bought this pink-cover notebook, the paper quality was terrible. It looks like recycled paper. I can't highlight or even use a gell pen on this, the paper is so thin and grey (not ivory and smooth to the touch as the other notebooks'pages were).I had thought the only difference between this notebook and the previous ones that I had bought was the colour of the cover. But the quality is SO different, for some reason. I may even return the item... :(
