I love these graph A4 Clairefontaine notebooks. I write on them with a fountain pen when teaching. They're presentable, high quality, and not very costly.

I bought this one as a restock for the one I have not yet filled. The A4 format gives a generous writing area; the graph grid is convenient for noting guitar chord symbols. Clairefontaine's paper is tightly calendared and thick enough that fountain pen ink will not bleed through. The wire binding is not spiral; it is a double ring arrangement that is very durable and continues to turn pages easily.

As a long time exclusive user of the Maruman Mnemosyne graph notebooks, this Clairefontaine pad really felt like an upgrade...especially using a wetter writing pen (TWSBI Eco) and wet ink (Kon-Peki). However, the downside for me is in the graph ruling itself. The pattern is far too prominent and crowds the page more than Maruman or my favorite engineering papers do. I have noted the same with Rhodia's graph paper..just too strong. The writing experience still outweighs the negative and I've now taken to dedicating this particular notebook as my handwriting practice book.

I love this item. It is the go to notebook.

The notebooks are great, very satisfying to use. The paper is of a very high quality in every respect. Packaged very carefully and came quickly.

Nice item... Pleasant experience writing on such smooth graph paper with fountain pen.

The paper feels incredible, love the graph paper as well. No bleeding, this is my go to paper.

Great paper quality. No bleed through and works with all the inks and nibs I've tried so far. Nice size for carrying. Love the graph paper for note taking.

I used these notebooks for a semester in a college and they ended up being perfect, one notebook per class was sufficient for my note taking (front and back). Paper is very smooth with no feathering bleed through. I purchased again for this semester because I had a great experience with them last semester.

This is one of the highest quality notebook in the world. Paper, bonding and overall quality is just superb. The paper is super smooth, ideal for fountain or gel pens and the gridlines are purple, visible but not annoying, The paper is thicker than one used for cheap products and 50 sheets notebook feels substantial. The item is expensive but worth every penny. This is not economy class product, but rather first class. After all you get what you pay for.

Very good paper, not as slick as Rhodia, but nevertheless very nice and pleasant to write. No feathering at all, the line stays perfectly thin. The lines on grid paper do not make reading hard, although they are on the brighter side, not almost transparent as in bullet journals.

Super easy to order and received quickly. I am addicted to Clairefontaine notebooks and thanks for carrying them. And love the tootsie roll pop! Thank you!!

I wish I had read Kathryn's review from 2 years ago, but that's what happens when you hurry! The grid lines are indeed super dark. Doodling on these pages with an extra-fine nib & blue ink is kind of out of the question. I'll reserve medium & larger nibs & bold colors for this paper.

Really smooth paper and quality wiring. I've used this type of notebook for the past year and would recommend it to anyone. The quality is definitely worth the price for me.

I bought it to practice my hand writing and it's excellent. The paper quality is great, very smooth and the binding is strong and durable and not to big where it gets in the way

I love these notebooks. I've been using them as journals for years. They are the only notebooks with thick enough paper not to waffle when you really write long and hard. And I'm addicted to the graph paper lines.... for me it's a creative must.

I bought this Notebook to compare to my Rhodia N18 and I realized these are for 2 completely different uses. I like how this Clairefontaine Notebook is Wirebound and has grids. It has helped me with the size of my letters and spacing of my words. At the time I also bought a Noodlers Ahab. Although, flexing the Ahab did give me very little bleed through on both notebooks; I never considered all variables. This Notebook is all around good for Fountain pens.

Is the first time i use this kind of notebook and i love it, writes very smooth with my new Lamy Safari fine nib.

I bought a few of these because I wanted a graph paper notebook for studying for my comprehensive exams. A little spendy, yes, but worth it. The paper is a nice, bright white and seems pretty substantial. My fountain pens write beautifully on it (Pilot Kakuno and Lamy Al-Star, both using the ink that came with the pen) with no dragging. It doesn't seem as friendly toward rollerball/gel pens; I've tried a Gelly Roll (plain black) and a Dr. Grip, and both tended to skip, although a Zebra Sarasa seems to write well. There's very little show-through on the back side of the page, even with fine felt-tip pens in dark colors. (I do a lot of color-coding and diagrams in my notes--this is a major plus!)My only real complaint is that the graph rule is printed a little too dark for my taste. So, overall, an excellent notebook, especially if you use a fountain pen for your writing. Rollerball and ballpoint...your mileage may vary.

Put in this order for my daughter for school, but had to steal this one out the lot. I use it for just about everything! We are all spoiled on this paper now, can't go back to anything less.

format. I'm using these as practice folios as I attempt to self-teach italic calligraphy..

I really like the paper in this notebook. Smooth and heavy enough to suit me.

I use these things all the time. From in class for the silky smoothness, or on a jobsite in the grime. Super durable, wire bound so you can fold them open in half, graph for goodness........my absolute goto.

This is an excellent quality notebook. It was packaged incredibly well and arrived much sooner than expected. Goulet Pens is a phenomenal company and I greatly enjoy doing business with them.

I bought this for my husbands tiny hand writing. His motto 'A Bic pen will do. He loves the smoothe paper with his bic pen. I will soon sneak in a fountain pen.

I love this paper but I don't are for the length of the notebook. I bought a few of these to use for work but the it's really too long. Thankfully they make a smaller version. I also wish the notebook paper was perforated to aid in easy paper removal.

Thank you for giving me the color I asked for! The graph paper is great for practice!

Compared to nominally similar notebooks one can buy at Target, these are pretty pricey. On the other hand, there is no comparison in quality between those and these. I prefer to write with a fountain pen, and the heavy, highly-opaque paper in these notebooks is perfect. I haven't seen this kind of quality at this price in any other notebook.

It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. My pens glide across the sheets like they are buttered. No bleeding, no bleed thru, just smooth crisp lines of text.

Everything, from the price to the customer service to the shipping to the packaging was first rate. I've already recommended Goulet Pen Company to other people. I'll definitely use them again.
