Hi,

Yes. I see. 10 booklets of paper sheets, right?

In the context of books and booklets, 'a page' is a more natural term than 'a paper sheet'.

But really, just say '10 booklets'. We can assume that a booklet contains pages, so why state the obvious?

Best wishes, Clive

Hi CJ, I guess you mean a ream of printer sheets.

When I asked the question, I kept in mind the ruled paper sheets for notes or scratch. I should said it explicitly.

Anyway, thanks a lot for you guys' input.

Oseethe ruled paper sheets for notes or scratch
If they are bound together with a "sheet" of stronger cardboard at the bottom, and you can tear them off one at a time, it's a tablet or a notepad. The extra-long ones that are yellow with (usually blue) lines are called legal pads. A bunch of loose sheets I would call a stack of (scrap / scratch) paper
