Customer Reviews
Great paper and fantastic w a fountain pen. My vintage Pelikan OBB writes splendidly on this great paper. The notebook is high quality and feels Wonderful. This will be my notebook of choice from here in out.
Have loved these journals since I bought my first one several years back. The book seems to be made with laid paper which is something I prefer in all my creative writing and drawing. One side of the paper is smoother than the other; I'm assuming this is because of the manufacturer process for the paper in the journal and I personally quite like it.
Our daughter loves these journals. She is an avid fountain pen writer, so the thick pages are perfect for her.
I love these notebooks. I am an anthropologist and I have been using the Clairefontaine notebooks for field notes for the past twenty years. I particularly love the blanks notebooks but the dot grid keeps my writing a little more organized. These notebooks are sturdy and the elastic band allows me to stash bits of paper that I found in my travels. The paper is great for fountain pens--smooth and just absorbent enough.
The softness, smoothness, and color of the paper all combine to make a notebook I wish I had 100 of. The best thing about this notebook though is how my pens write on it. I haven't found a notebook out their comparable to this one. Whether your looking for a school notebook, a journal, or just something to write in and take notes on anything this is definitely a notebook for you. lol I'm writing this review before I buy my second.
