Black n' Red Twin Wire Poly Cover Notebook, 5-3/8 x 8-1/4 inches, Black/Red, 70 Ruled Sheets (C67009)

I've been hunting for either a A4 or Letter (or equivalent) sized ruled notebook mainly for fountain pen use. I've been using Five Star 1 subject notebooks for a while, but their quality has been slowly going downhill. Every other page, the toothing is in the opposite direction, or the fibers are different. Very annoying. One sheet could be good, and the next 3 might be horrible. In any event, I prefer Rhodia, the paper is nice, but the notebook construction is less than desirable. Also, there is no margins in the Rhodia. I also tried the Clairefontaine Classic, but it's construction wasn't too much better. The paper was OK, but not like the Rhodia. I also tried a Maruman Mnemosyne N199 A4, and for it's price it wasn't worth it. I didn't like how the top of the pages were setup, nor was the construction much better. This Black n' Red notebook is in a different league. The paper feels just like the Rhodia (maybe between the Rhodia and the Clairefontaine Classic, but more towards the Rhodia), but it's got the ruling and the lines setup just right. Similar to the Five Star notebooks. It also absorbs the ink without feathering, and it makes even my wettest ink dry rapidly. The price is great! Cheaper than the others I tried (with the exception of the Five Star). As for what I usually use to write in the notebooks: TWSBI ECO, Parker Jotter, VAC700R, Lamy Al-Star, occasionally my Jinhao X750 with a custom Goulet gold nib. They are all medium nibs, and all using Noodler's EEL Black. Right now I'm finishing up my last few pages in my Five Star, and I'll report back if I notice anything weird or different that messing around on the first page as a test page. But for now, the notebook is the best I've used.

Buena calidad

Honestly people will find flaw with anything, these books are great don't look at the crappy reviews. The bindings are good and individually bound so if one gets pulled or messed up the rest won't screw up your pages. It has a lovely strap to close it so that your book doesn't open and the pages get ruined while in a backpack or something. The book is heavy and lovely to handle the pages are thick and don't show through, makes writing easy. Great books, buying two more right now.

Livraison scandaleuse ! J'ai commandé et PAYE un pack de 5 cahiers et je n'en reçois qu'1. Sur le site, l'intégralité de ma commande est considérée comme livrée ! Une arnaque scandaleuse

Finally a decent quality, medium sized note book. The cover is a durable stiff plastic material bound by double rings and held closed by an elastic riveted to the back cover. The paper is top quality, heavy weight, bright white that is perfect for fountain pen use. I noticed no bleed-through or feathering; the bane of fountain ink. The only downfall would be that it is limited to 70 pages. I would have expected more for the price. But that said, I will probably buy it again.
