on saleRhodia A5 Webnotebook - Black, Lined

I purchased this Webnotebook because the Clairefontaine A5 notebook I acquired recently was a major disappointment.
The Clairefontaine A5 Notebook binding was over saturated with glue to the point where the pages stuck together and additionally the notebook did not lay flat to facilitate writing on the back side of the pages. The elastic band closure was annoyingly frustrating in that it constantly needed to be adjusted. I had to make some serious modifications to this notebook to make it work for me. That said, it is now useable and is doing its job.
The Webnotebook from Rhodia on the other hand is a pleasant departure from the Clairefontaine A5! It has a hard cover, a storage pocket attached to the rear inside cover for small documents or notes and it has a page ribbon marker, perfect for journaling and the pages lay reasonably flat all absent on the Clairefontaine A5. Rhodia paper has become my go to paper and although I have yet to use this notebook, I expect the paper to be consistent with Rhodia quality. In my opinion this would be an excellent medium sized journal or hardcover daily notebook.

I have been using these Rhodia A5 Webnotebooks for journaling for several years now. I love them! The quality is excellent. The paper is perfect for fountain pens. I will keep buying them. I usually buy them from Goulet Pens because of their outstanding customer service.

Here's what I want in a notebook: great paper, solid construction (takes a lot of use and abuse, and protects the pages), a ribbon marker, an elastic closure, and a true lay-flat design. This notebook is the only one I've used that has it all. Wish it wasn't quite so expensive; I only use mine for writing that I consider important. Most used pen/ink: Sailor Kabazaiku Cherry Bark medium italic (by Mottishaw) with Sailor Ink Studio 840.

It's a wonderful notebook to use, great quality overall.

Great size for traveling. Nice that it has a hard cover and a ribbon to save your spot. The lines are spaced well and there are plenty of pages to last you quite some time. I use the Noodlers black ink with a fine nib and it works quite well with this notebook. Little to no feathering and dry time is fairly quick. I like the band that holds it shut when moving, keeps it from flopping around at all. I have filled up 3 of them over the past couple years, this is my fourth and I will certainly continue to purchase them.
