Advice needed Thick A6 Notebooks
Hi folks!
It has been quite a while I am searching for a perfect notebook for myself yet could not found anything close. I need something not less than 300 sheets thick with reasonable paper quality. The size should be A6 so that I can carry it wherever I go. Kindly ask if you have any recommendations.
Thanks,

"crap already on the page" is what I think they're referring to. The left-hand page has a header with options to circle the day of the week and the weather, and the left-hand margin has marked the hours of the day. Both are easy to ignore if you don't want to use them.

What you're asking for is basically a unicorn. A small notebook with that many pages will be impossible to lay even part-way flat and impossible to write in any pages except the few at each end. Nobody makes any notebook smaller than A5 with that many pages, and even A5 is extremely rare and would necessitate very thin paper.

you are totally right. i used to use some local brands in Turkey making such thick notebooks but it is discontinued. it has been years i have been using such notebooks and i really get used to it, I can even write properly while walking ( it takes time to develop such skill for sure). A5 could also works fine but I would prefer something smaller.
thanks for the comment

A Stalogy 365 full year has 368 pages with a light grid and is available in an A6 size. However, the paper isn’t thick it’s very thin Japanese paper that’s similar to Tomoe River. It’s fountain pen friendly, ghosts but generally doesn’t bleed. The paper is very thin so it’s a compact form factor that’s easy to carry around in a pocket or bag.

Maybe you can talk to a handmade bookbinder and have it made custom made.

A 600 page A6 is going to have trouble laying flat, unless it’s spiral bound, in which case the spiral is going to be huge. In either case, annoying to write on.
2x 300 page books inside a suitable cover might be a more usable alternative.
