Lovely paper, high quality product all round at a good price. Unlike a Tomoe River 52gsm notebook I got elsewhere, the lines are really easy to see. I have bought other Goulet brand products, and have never been disappointed.

I used this with a Lamy 2000 Fine + Medium. Writes buttery smooth. Has very light bleed through but in a way I enjoy, tend to happens when I pressed harder with a Medium pen. This is bundle in a Traveler's Notebook and I use it as a commonplace book for all of life's riches.

Now my go to for the Traveler's Notebook

The best paper I enjoy using in my Travelers Notebook. Goulet has a fair price and his is the only one I use. It's affordable it's then paperwork works very well with my fountain pens /inks. Larry's Fountain Pens

Love these Goulet Tomoe River Notebooks. They quality is fantastic and they are fairly priced. Goulet service is always outstanding.

Great as always.

I've been buying TN refills from Midori since 2013, usually the grid notebooks. Within the past couple years, I've noticed a slight downturn in the quality of the paper in those notebooks�nothing too bad, just more feathering than I used to see. The Tomoe River refill I received features a sharp-looking burgundy cover and thinner pages than the Midori refills. The thin paper allows for more pages to fit in, and I haven't noticed any bleeding or feathering yet with Pilot Black or Private Reserve Midnight Blues (Fast Dry) using a fine-point Capless and Parker 51, respectively. There is some ghosting, though, but I don't mind that very much at all. The paper is smooth, but not as smooth as the Apica Premium CD notebooks. On the flip side, ink dries quicker on this than on the Apica Premium.

I've been using Goulet notebooks over two years. When it comes to paper I want the best and Goulet notebooks delivers. I am a pen reviewer and I like to show how well this paper handle with Fountain pen ink.

I adore these notebooks! I have recently taken to the Traveler's Notebook system with a vengeance, and these are my absolute favorite inserts because the paper is just so fantastic. It is smooth and lightweight, which means you get a wonderful, fountain pen friendly writing experience, AND the notebooks have more pages without increased thickness. I'll add that the rule lines are a cool, unobtrusive gray color. The rounded corners are a nice touch, too - I find that they stand up better to the rough and tumble life that my notebooks have to endure. :) These are simply the very best notebooks for using in your TN!

Seriously, these are my absolute favorite inserts. I've been using them since February '17 and I can't imagine going back to anything else. This was my first experience using Tomoe River Paper and good god is it buttery smooth! I use broad nibs pretty exclusively and I've never had an issue with bleeding. Ghosting is to be expected but it doesn't bother me, and doesn't affect readability. Dry times are kind of slow, but I guess some of that depends on the pen and ink you're using. Waiting an extra few seconds before turning the page (if I'm really going at it) isn't bothersome to me. If it was more of an inconvenience I'd get blotter sheets.

I feel like Goldilocks and the three bears -- only I have been searching for THE best fountain pen-friendly paper instead of a comfy bed. And my search has ended with my recent purchase of the Goulet Notebook w/52gsm Tomoe River paper. I purchased the regular Travelers Notebook lined version, a Goulet exclusive. . . which means I will be buying my notebooks exclusively from Brian and family from here on out. It's just that great, folks. I write with a Platinum 3776 Century with a medium nib, currently loaded with Iroshizuku Kon-peki ink. The thin Tomoe River sheet may be delicate to the touch, but it handles the ink like a heavyweight champ, such as Clairefontaine or Rhodia. NO bleeding or feathering and any ghosting is so negligible it does not even draw my attention. But the feel of the paper when the nib glides over it -- juuuust right. Not as slick as Clairefontaine or Rhodia; papers which tend to produce a thinner line for me and a sound that almost resembles chalk squeaking on an old blackboard (kind of aggravating, at times). The Tomoe River paper feels warm to write on and the line looks rich. And the lined version works best for me. As already mentioned, from now on I will be buying this Goulet exclusive exclusively -- but not just because I love the paper. The level of customer care offered by the Goulet family -- yes, in my book their business really is a family -- is second to none. My little notebook came wrapped as if it were an antique Tiffany vase. Included in my incredibly well-package delivery was a nice note from Brandon in customer fulfillment letting me know he hoped I enjoyed my order and inviting feedback. There was another have a nice day greeting from Jessica in customer care, handwritten in some really cool ink on a nice card. Heck, there was even an orange Tootsie Pop thrown in, to boot! It reminded me of the times my wife and I would pack care packages to send our son when he was in college. Care is the optimal word here, folks. The folks at Goulet Pens care -- and it really shows.

I wanted to use my regular Midori notebook again. And I don't like the actual paper from the brand. The paper in these Goulet notebooks are awesome. No bleed through, no feathering. I'm a fan

I buy Goulet Tomoe River 52g blank and line notebooks, their is no other paper that can deliver the quality that I look for. It's very thin paper and not bulky that a plus and the paper holds up to any ink and nib i use, from a BB, B, M,F,EF wet nibs this paper brings the truth color out of the ink. It's amazing and my search for paper has ended. I all use the Tomoe River large size lose paper and now the table form. I'll be using the letter size next. Brian Goulet I'm waiting for your next more in creating your own Goulet Tomoe River 52 GSM notebooks. I'm in that's all I use, end of story. Yes I have many other brands of paper/ Notebooks, but for me and my pens and ink I'm a totally Goulet Tomoe River type guy. I have passed this to all my viewers on Larry's Fountain Pens. I approve this message. Larry

I bought this notebook to use at the DC pen super show this past weekend, to do my ink samples at the ink testing table. It was perfect! It showed off all the inks I was testing, and is super smooth. I also wrote in it, with the pens I was buying, to get a feel of how the pens/nibs write. The lines on this Tomoe River paper are great, as I have a hard time with true blank Tomoe paper, even with an under-sheet with lines. Wanted to say, I love Goulet Pens! You guys are amazing, great customer education and service, and a wonderful helpful website full of info, resources and product info to help us buy confidently. I am new to the hobby (started in May), and through your site, I have dived in completely. Thank you!!!!

I bought this out of curiosity as another insert for my Traveler's style notebook. My first impression was of how thin the paper is, and thought there would be horrible bleedthrough using my Edson ped with a fine nib and Noodler's Black. There was no bleedthrough, and only the very faintest ghosting. The paper is very smooth, moreso than the Midori paper or BanditApple. The spacing is also just a bit wider than BanditApple, and noticeably more than Midori, so keep that in mind if you're a tiny writer as I am. Overall I think this is very pleasant paper to write on, and a solid value based on number of pages for the price. I certainly will buy again.

I bought some Goulet refills for my new Travler's notebook and they are such a pleasure to write on. The paper brings out the best in every ink, making even boring journal entries fun. There is slight to noticeable ghosting with most pen/ink combinations but it's only bad (i.e. would prevent writing on the other side of the page) with very wet pens. I've managed to get a little bleed through, but only when dumping ink on the page with a flex nib. My only wish is that the lines were a little lighter or that they were a more neutral color. But it's a very small aesthetic quibble in an otherwise fantastic product!
