Tiny micro line spacing |

If you have super tiny micro handwriting this may be the book for you. otherwise stay away. This used to be the best notbook out there, Great paper quality and the book lays flat. The problem is, they changed the line spaceing to a miniscule 5.5mm. The cheap mead wirebound college ruled notbooks you might be used to are 7mm and for some people even that is tight. I hope that when clairefontaine sees their sales drop off they will go back to the 8mm or a 7mm. This was my go to notebook but now I search for another. Its such a shame

Great Journal for Small Writing |

Just received my very first Quo Vadis Habana. Love the paper, love the size. Wish the paper came in white; but the ivory is very nice. No bleed through at all, even with a wet pen and dark ink, not even much show through. Paper is nearly perfect. The only issue is that the lines are very narrow. I'm used to a bit wider ruled paper. Overall the journal is very well made, very comfortable to use (lies flat), and the size is perfect for me. Next time I just may shoot for the blank one instead of the narrow-lined version.

Outstanding Notebook |

I've used Moleskines for years with my fountain pens--and I have not had the problems with feathering and bleed through that others have complained of. In fact, I like the way Moleskines absorb ink so swiftly: it makes for wonderful wet writing.
But I need to say now that I think I will switch over to the Habana. The paper is slicker thank in a Moleskine, but there is enough friction to pull a nice wet line from my pens. So far, I've mostly used a Lamy 1.1 stub in it, and the effect is wonderful.
Highly recommended.

My #1 choice for journals |

Until I got the Habana, I was a Moleskine fan. In fact, I have five or six of them filled, and had three still in their wrappers. But, the last two were not up to their former level of quality - rough paper, poor binding (my last one split the cover just from normal use) and pricey. I spent time researching new journals and was headed toward a Rhodia web book when Brian recommended I investigate the Quo Vadis line. The quality, size (bigger) and Clairefontane ivory paper convinced me. I am using one now and it is satisfactory in every way. I am a convert and recommend them if you keep a journal, or just like to write on first class ivory paper.

What is not to like? |

Beautiful smooth paper, a nice flex to the cover and classic appearance. I will always be using one and will always have one or two in reserve. I explained it to my daughter (who now also has one) that with good archival quality ink, her descendants might be reading stuff she writes in there.
