A Goulet Pens exclusive! This side stapled notebook features 32 sheets (64 pages) of white 68gsm fountain pen friendly dot grid Tomoe River paper, a dark brown 150g kraft paper cover printed with soy ink, rounded corners, and measures 8.9cm x 12.4cm (approximately 3.5in x 4.88in). Use it as a refill for inside your passport sized Traveler's Notebook or as a standalone notebook. Great for bullet journaling!

The 68gsm paper is slightly thicker than the popular 52gsm Tomoe River paper that we also sell, so it will work better when writing on both sides of the page. Made for us and assembled in Taiwan, using Tomoe River paper from Japan.

Unique size will be perfect

These notebooks in "Passport" size are ideal for shirt pocket, but I will be using them with a Traveler style cover to replace my wallet. The Tomoe River paper is durable for everyday carry, and fountain pen ink does not bleed through the 68gsm paper. I am pleased to have this in dot grid.

Best paper

Tomeo River paper, in any form, is the best for my fountain pens. I highly recommend it.

Highly recommended for you MTN Passport

This 68gsm paper was a delightful surprise that I prefer and recommend over the 52 gsm, though they both are great. The 68 has far less ghosting on the back side of a written page. I tested with a Lamy 2000 F, the TC Brass Fountain Pen, and a Visconti HS F - all with different inks. No feathering, no bleed through, minimal to no ghosting. So great for fountain pen and lovely to write on with all three pens tested. The notebook is thinner than the Midori notebooks with the same number of pages. Both are great, but with monthly and weekly calendar inserts, a notebook for for bullet journaling, and a notebook for my journal the reduced thickness is much appreciated - though not necessary. Now I use the 52gsm for bullet journaling throughout the day and the 68 gsm for my other journaling. The only downside I see is I wish the front page could have a small section to write down its purpose and period for when I archive them. That is minimal and easy to live without. If you use the Traveler's Notebooks you owe it to yourself to try out these Goulet / TR paper notebooks! I am all in :)

Great for pen/ink testing

Very nice notebook. Shows sheen on ink remarkably well, as well as the shading in some inks. Truly brings out the inks color and made me keep an ink I was disappointed with because it showed the blue to purple hue better than any other paper I tried. It does take awhile for inks to dry, so recommend a blotter. Only con is be careful if using a rubber band to keep closed, the pages can easily tear out of book with the slightest pressure. Using currently for Haiku/poems and ink/pen tests.

Simply the best!

I love Tomoe River paper and the fact I can have it in a passport size traveller's notebook is awesome!

I love these notebooks!

When I first ordered, I was very happy to discover that the slightly heavier weight allowed me to write on both sides with no bleed through and very light ghosting. I have already ordered more and will continue to do so.

Surprisingly excellent!

I honestly didn't expect the Goulet brand Travelers Notebook refills to be anything special. At best I thought they'd be as good as the Travelers Company brand refills but was totally prepared for something mediocre. I was so wrong to doubt the Goulets. I always keep an official Travelers Tomoe River paper refill and their green gridded refill with the Midori paper. I settled for the gridded paper because there wasn't a dot grid until recently. The Goulet dot grid passport refill with Tomoe River paper is superior to the Travelers brand in so many ways. The notebook is nice and slim. I don't load up my Travelers Notebook with a lot of refills. Just 2 paper refills and a zipper pocket. With that combination of refills, even if you have just one notebook in it with regular Midori paper the notebook gets too chunky for the back pocket of my jeans. Having both of my refills be Tomoe River paper keeps the entire thing at exactly the right thickness for me. The paper quality is the perfect blend of thin and smooth while still retaining that certain something that Tomoe River paper has. It's 68gsm so it's slightly thicker than the usual 52gsm Tomoe River paper most people are used to and I like the thicker variant a lot. It retains all the best qualities of the original paper while feeling less fragile. The color is white whereas the Travelers Company refills are more cream colored. I like the white paper much better and the dots are a cool gray color that are subtle. You notice the dots when you want to and they blend into the background when you aren't paying attention. The card stock cover is way better than the covers on the Travelers brand refills. It's sturdier without being thicker and has a nice texture to it. The corners are rounded instead of squared and that makes it less likely that you'll snag a corner on your hand or something and dog ear one or more pages by accident. The notebook lays flatter than the Travelers brand notebooks whether you're opening it up to the first page, last page, or the middle.One thing I noticed about the paper is that ink doesn't dry as quickly as it does on the 52gsm Tomoe River paper. Now that may be because of the inks I've been using on it (Noodler's Air corps blue-black and Iroshizuku ku-jaku - the Iroshizuku dries much faster on it) so take that point with a grain of salt. I'm a lefty too so I run into issues with smearing and am more sensitive to dry times than the usual person.Overall I love this refill. I plan to try the new Travelers Company dot grid refills but I doubt they'll be as nice as the Goulet one. This refill has earned a permanent place in my Travelers notebook.

Beautiful, but not ideal for TN

This is beautiful paper that really brings out the best in an ink. However, it's not ideal for using for quick note taking and to-do lists because of the long dry times. Notes I took days before still smudge at the lightest touch, and the beauty of the inks isn't at valuable when all of my notes turn into a smeared mess. I've managed this by using a piece of cardstock to keep what I've written from being touched. I understand that the anti-absorption quality of this paper is one of its selling points, but this is just more high maintenance than I wanted from an everyday pocket notebook.

New Inserts

I love the various inserts from Goulet for my Travelers Notebook. It was an easy shopping experience and the items got shipped to me relatively quickly.

My favorite notebooks!

The quality of the 68gsm Tomoe River paper is second to none,. That combined with the simple but well-made design makes these my goto for anything I write with fountain pens. The ink color of the dot grid is easily seen, but still subtle enough to fade into the background. The simple design also makes for easy embellishment for people into art-journalling or bullet journalling.

Too Expensive with a Flimsy Cover

The 68gsm Tomoe River paper is sturdier and less delicate than the 52gsm paper used in the Goulet pocket notebook 3.5 x 5.5. However, I would like my pages to be even more substantial. The notebook cover is too flimsy for a pocket notebook. I don't get the impression this will hold up well to daily pocket use. I would also like to see some kind of decoration on the cover. Embossing would be classy even simple printing would add interest to the boring cover.

Wonderful paper!

Ok, so I am the least biased person to rate this paper but here goes. I love, love, love Tomoe paper. It's light weight like the old onion skin (ah, those were the days!), doesn't bleed through, and takes a fountain pen so well it's hard to believe. Definately my go to paper.

Everything About This Was Awesome!

My purchases, which I love, arrived quickly and clearly were packaged with care. I immediately began using my new LE Deep Lilac LAMY, with my new Diamine Bilberry ink on them and everything was/is smooth and lovely. Will repurchase often!

I'll definitely be getting more

I bought this for my ZLYC (knockoff Midori) notebook and it fits perfectly. As you can see in the photo, there's only the tiniest bit of bleed through (I had to look really closely) and only from my Lamy Logo (which writes VERY wet). All of the pens glide wonderfully on the smooth paper too. Definitely glad that I gave these notebook inserts a shot.

Great little book

I like the dot grid pattern on this paper and how smooth it is. I prefer it over the Traveler's brand books. Might as well buy some, you're already on the page!

Love this thin but very fountain pen-friendly paper in the Midori sizes!

I bought this earlier in May and have used it for a couple weeks now. Tomoe River paper is thinner than other brands and, yet, it remains an excellent, fountain pen-friendly, paper. Its reviews can be found elsewhere so I'll say no more about that here. However, putting Tomoe River paper in Traveler's Notebook (Midori) sizes gets Goulet Pens a set of big five gold stars. I didn't think the rounded corners would be important, but I like them and they add something positive, a bit more classy and they'll reduce dog-earing. I do wish someone would make some 7mm dot paper (my penmanship has grown larger since college) and these notebooks would be even better if the pages were perforated. However, I'm pleased to have these for now.Well done Goulets!
