I like the Goulet pen company. A nice family budiness.

The paper is just as good as the Rhodia, Apica, hard to tell them apart. I like these better, these are almost the size of B5 which I like. Small notebook, bigger writing space. I love all my notebooks to be lined. Looks better for me and my notes. i will buy again in the future.

I like the smoothness of Clairefontaine paper for fountain pens, and A5 is my preferred size for notebooks. the Classic Staplebound is the right thickness for the writing purposes I purchased them for, and is a pleasure to write in.

Staff was good enough to fulfill a request about the order. As always, customer service was great, and the notebooks are great.

Great, smooth paper!

When I ordered this product, from all of the descriptions I've heard, I expected an extremely smooth writing experience. When I recieved it, I wasn't disappointed! I find myself generally using it for daily writing sessions with a Goulet 1.1mm stub, and it holds up beautifully! Each stroke of the pen seems to glide over the page like running your hand over still water. It feels smooth, with just a tiny hint of feedback and a faint sound of the pen stroke to let you know you're writing on some quality paper. It's also the first time I've been able to use both sides of the sheet with a wet-writing fountain pen. I can't recommend this brand enough!

Great paper for specialty ink in specialty pens.

These notebooks are great! The cover is durable and stands up to daily use without requiring any additional cover or notebook system. I also like the variety of colors as well as the consistent quality of Clairefontaine paper.

Great quality and writing experience.

Exactly what I had hoped for.

Great paper.. I'm sold.

i love these notebooks! the paper is great and so is the price.

This is the only paper I use for fountain pen anymore. I like Rhodia too, but this is the best paper in the world and these notebooks are a steal at this price. Do your fountain pens a favor and get some.

Clairefontaine paper can take a little getting used to, but I find that it works better for fountain pens than any other paper I've tried. I like the smaller notebook sizes, and the colors are okay - I would like more variety, but the paper quality more than makes up for that.

I ordered this paper after vowing not to buy (relatively) expensive paper just because I got a fountain pen. Well, that took about a month. Anyway, the paper is a dream and a relief to write on. What I mean by this is that after writing on cheap paper, usually either inkjet or lined 'Five Star' paper, for the years I've been writing, the feel of this paper is like butter on top of butter. Not only that, but it is not at all prone to bleed through or feathering. This is the only nice paper I've used, but it seems like I won't be going back to regular paper any time soon. The last thing I want to mention is the value of this paper: For archival quality, 90g/sm paper, it is just great, and feels like something I could have bought for a higher price.

Beautiful product, it was ink nouveaus video that really helped me decide the paper and pens to purchase. And of course you can't ignore the care taken with shipping.

It's like writing on satin. I love Clairefontaine paper, its such a pleasure to write on. This little notebooks are great to slip into leather binders.

The notebook is very well made and is holding up to daily journaling. The paper is so smooth and provides the perfect surface for effortless fountain pen use. I have used several different inks already with no bleedthrough on the pages. I love everything about this notebook.

I haven't used either notebook yet, but the paper seems to be very high quality and they arrived in perfect condition. Just what I expected.

Clairefontaine paper is always great for fountain pens.

I find it amusing to sit in meetings at the office and take notes with my fp and notebook while everyone else is hovering over their computers. I find the 6x8 to be more manageable than the larger notebooks. The paper is very smooth with no noticeable feathering. I'm using it with a Lamy Safari with Noodler's Hunter Green.

I can't tell a real difference in paper or book quality between this and the similarly sized Rhodia. This costs a little more and has some more paper. The look of the cover and amount of paper seem to be the main way to compare. The Rhodia lays a little flatter than this one, probably just because of fewer sheets. I think I will probably keep getting both, Rhodia for work, Clairfontaine for home. Although, with great piles of paper at both places, maybe I won't get around to it.

I buy these in bulk as I can use an OBB nib with highly saturated inks with minimal bleed through or feathering. Depending on the ink you may have slower drying times. I'm not bothered and get these in 10 packs for constant use.

I ordered this hoping it would fit in the back of my Exaclair Trinote planner for notes. It didn't fit well, but as it turns out, it has made a GREAT ink review notebook! Perfect size, same great Clairefontaine paper--WIN

These books are typical of the Clairefontaine brand. The paper takes ink extremely well with little feathering and no bleeds. In combination with my Noodler's inks, writing dries fast and doesn't smudge as I frantically scribble notes down in my lecture classes. Excellent quality!

Nice size and great paper. Great for ink and pen test notebooks or any notebook for a small project. Really fun!

Excellent paper. I removed the binding & cut the pages to fit in my Levenger Circa/Staples Arc refillable notebooks.

Clairefontaine has had great products to date and I have been such a happy student since I got these notebooks to take notes in.

These notebooks are the best value if you are looking for Clairefontaine 90g paper in a convenient notebook format. I personally love the lined paper with 8mm spacing between the lines, which gives plenty of room for Broad nib pens or Medium nib pens. Of course, it also works well with Fine nib pens. By contrast, the paper with 5mm spacing is not recommended for Broad nib pens or for writers who like to use large letters or calligraphy characters. In any case, I love these notebooks, and usually buy them by the dozen.

I wish Clairefontaine made a notebook the same size or close to the same size as a Composition notebook. Clairefontaine paper works a whole lot better than the paper in Composition notebooks now a days. Fountain pen friendly and plenty of writing room in the 7mm line width. The notebook doesn't completely lay flat but close. Can't say enough good things about the great service from Goulet Pens!

Great notebook, with only one problem: The binding. Unlike a Mead composition book binding,. the covers are bent square, which makes bending them back a bit more troublesome. It's a minor pet peeve, but a pet peeve it is.Also, I'd rather the ruling were thinner.So, 4 stars instead of 5.
