Excellent Paper

The paper quality of this notebook is excellent. It's super smooth, and I haven't been annoyed by any feathering or bleeding with any of the ink/pen/nib combos I've tried so far. It brings out sheening and shading very well, too. I happen to like the elastic closure, but I have one big complaint. The spine is so stiff that the notebook won't lay flat. I find myself having to pry it open and weigh it down with either my arm or an object so it doesn't shut itself as I'm trying to write. Maybe I'm just spoiled by other notebooks I've recently had with lay-flat binding, but this makes the writing experience much less enjoyable for me. On the bright side, even with all my prying and tugging, there hasn't been any damage to the pages or the notebook at all. I'm half way through the pages, and it still looks as good as new even though I take it with me everywhere. It's extremely sturdy, so if you don't mind that it doesn't lay flat, I highly recommend it.

Excellent Paper

Some ghosting with really wet inks, but has not prevented me from writing on both sides of the page. Sheening inks sheen almost as well as on Tomoe River paper.Paper is smooth, but can still detect some texture with my fingertip, but not by sight (similar to Tomoe River). The cover is semi stiff and seems pretty durable.4 stars because the binding makes it difficult to write on some pages on the extreme edge of the book.Very happy with the purchase and will buy again. Book is excellent value!

Clairefontaine A5 Journal

I love the notebook, but the only thing I dont enjoy so much is the clasp on the band, that keeps the notebook shut. It definitely gets in the way of writing. Other then that, I dont mind it! :) I'm obsessed with how smooth the paper is. My fountain pens glideeeee.

Great daily carry

Apart from the high quality paper, it's got great durability inspite of rather flimsy looking covers. I really tattered and beat up this notebook but it still look almost new. The only thing that annoyed me is the metal clasps that hold the band. Because of the clasps the notebook doesn't lie quite flat � the right side is always lifted up a bit because of this part.
