Basic and Disappointing

My favorite "1951 Back to Basics" notebooks seem to be AWOL, so I began searching for an A5 replacement. Sadly, the Clairefontaine Basic just won't do. It doesn't lie flat, the corners are clunkily cropped - not rounded, the covers are flimsy, uninspiring, and ugly, and while the individual 6 groupings of pages seem to be sewn together, from what I can tell, it looks like the groups are all glued into the binding. The glue is quite visible where the first and last pages meet the covers. I'm concerned this might be a longevity/durability issue. On the plus side, the paper is good quality, and there are 192 pages. Still, have to say I'm disappointed and a little surprised at this seemingly half-hearted effort from Clairefontaine. I expected better.

Prompt, courteous, as promised. Amazeballs!

I adore this particular notebook and have trouble finding it for a reasonable price. Goulet Pen Co. had it in stock and for a reasonable price. (I ordered four! Squeee!) The Goulet Family and their team are amazing. Thanks!

Pages falling out?

The paper is nice, I enjoy writing in it. One problem I had, was the stitching coming loose and pages falling out of the notebook. Maybe I just got a bad one, but that was an issue I had with this notebook.
