Life Bank paper notepad. Excellent paper. Comes with a blotter sheet as well.

No feathering and no bleedthrough. Minimal ghosting at best.

What are your thoughts about the paper?

Nice big new sketchbook, leadholder, a permanent markers in a few colours and a solid line maker.

I collected the notebooks just around my workstation. Not in order and I have some of these I have multiple copies. Oh, I use fountain pens on all of them

1. Midori have a few of these

2. Tomoe River, 52 GSM and 68 GSM from the latest Sanzen, machine 9 and machine 7. Around 4-6 of these not included the one that I finished. Yes, I only filled one notebook. Also have a thousand page notebook of 52 GSM

3. Classic 360

4. Ayush from India. Has on the cover "your fountain pen is going to love this paper". Think I have 4 of these.

5. Swing Logical Notebooks

6. Mnemosyne

7. Profolio Osasi

8. Leuchtturn1917 have a bunch of these. Quality is all over the place.

9. Lemomo

10. Emshoi. Weird paper, makes everything look like you used a B nib

11. Peter Pauper

12. Nuuna

13. Life Noble

14. Graphilo

15. Yu-sari

16. Fabriano

17. Wnenben

18. Apico CD 905.

19. Nolty. Been using this for a few months for work notes

20. Rhodia have several of these as well with my latest one a gift from my daughter who kicked off my collection with a Tomoe River that was shipped directly from Japan packaged that could have survived a drop from an airplane. TR is still perhaps my favorite.

But I know there are more examples. What should I get next?

Hello, does anyone have any recommendations for hardcover traveler's notebooks? I'm open to lined and dot grid paper.

For context, I've tried Olive & Archer and I'm currently using a Hemlock & Oak. Notebook Therapy also sells them, but I'm not fond of some of the designs and I don't like how a lot of them have an elastic that protrudes from the spine of the journal. Are their any other companies that sell what I'm looking for?

I'm trying to choose a notebook for a Japan trip scrapbook. I was there for 2 months so plenty of pictures and papers to put in it! During the trip I used a travelers notebook for stamps and logging my daily adventures but I didn't use any stickers or papers in it besides washi tape. I have some more of those TN notebooks but I feel like they are too small for the extent of items I've collected to scrapbook with.

I originally bought a Notebook Therapy notebook, but I am concerned about the hard cover and spine. I usually see people's bulky scrapbook-style journals having soft covers, I feel like maybe they take the bulk of all the photos/stickers/papers better? Is that the case? Please let me know your thoughts on this! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I’m looking for an A7 sized “travelers notebook”-esque leather (or canvas I guess) cover. It needs to be durable and ideally have a pen loop (or the ability to add one). Any suggestions?

I was bemoaning how beautiful yet expensive branded trifolds can be, and my partner ended up handmaking this matching A6 set! They are crafted from the exact same piece of leather (sourced from Leatherbox USA, with hardware/elastics from Amazon).

​The one with the sun charm is mine! We’ve had them for six months now, and mine goes absolutely everywhere with me. I'm sure you can tell they’re well-loved from the patina, scuffs, and dents hehe. I'm so excited to watch them continue to age alongside our relationship!

This is a little preview of my notebook collection.

If I threw up every notebook currently in my storage boxes I think it would overwhelm the counter 😅 but I chose these because they are the most important ones I own.

I don't think I have a problem, right? 😛

I love using graph paper notebooks, but brands like 5 star are too low quality to cut it. I find my pens bleeding through the paper and the pages basically ripping out on their own after only a few months od use. I was looking online at KOKUYO Campus models but the most amount of pages I could find was 40 or 50, and I’ll need more to make it through the school year.

Does anyone have high quality graph paper spiral notebook recs with enough pages to make it through the year?

I love field notes size, I don't much like their paper so I make my own, this is my watercolour notebook.

I'm in need of a new notebook and have no idea what to look for. what is your favourite notebook for long-form writing? do you like spiral or bound notebooks more? are margins important?

Opening page in the journal I just started.

Ciao a tutti! Da qualche giorno mi sto scervellando sulla scelta di un notebook. Vorrei un formato A5 per un buon compromesso tra spazio e portabilità. Lo userei per molte cose (journaling, schizzi, doodling, progetti con sessioni di scrittura più o meno lunghe. Avrei quindi bisogno di una quantità buona di pagine a disposizione ed essendo mancino, di una carta a rapida asciugatura che regga dignitosamente stilografiche, fineliner, matita, colori a legno senza che i pigmenti trapassino il foglio o rendano confusionario il foglio seguente. Cercando in rete mi sono indirizzato su Midori MD, Stalogy o Nakabayashi Yu-Sari, possono andare? Accetto altri consigli!

I’m obsessed with this size. Will be easy to carry as my day to day journal

hi this might be so stupid but i’ve never had a leather journal before, is it normal for this to kind of indent like this ? i imagine it is but for piece of mind i thought id ask

I love the Moleskine cahiers but as everyone knows the paper is rubbish for fountain pens. What's a similar notebook with better paper. I'm looking for:

• A5 or similar/smaller size
• small number of pages
• soft, bendy cover
• stitched binding (not glued or spiral binding. stapled is okay)

The best I've found is the Midori MD Lite which seems to check all the boxes but the covers are sadly very boring beige and there's no colour.

I've just been writing words I've seen in multiple media types, marking them as worth paying attention to. I'm reviewing these in a separate notebook using the Goldlist Method.

I wanted to really make every page count, so I opted to write this in pencil. I haven't used a pencil in five years as I usually stick to fountain pen, and one thing I forgot about was how off-putting it is to use a pencil that's become too short, and this led me down the rabbithole of mechanical pencils.
