Writing on this paper is so smooth,
My nib glides over it!

Seems to be your typical paper.

Fits my Lochby Field Journal perfectly and is better quality paper than their refills.

The Rhodia paper is simply the best for fountain pens … no bleed through, no feathering … just a smooth, clean line. The Staplebound notebooks are true A5 size and just right for my application. I keep one for each project/client and have several in my notebook at any time. Goulet has the best prices and fast shipment!!

I bought 2 of these to use as A5 inserts. They are the first staple bound notebooks I have used (at least recently and definitely since I got into this.. whatever you want to call it.. *hobby*). I don't know to what I should compare them, so I will just tell you my experience having used both regularly since 9-16-22 alongside a Midori MD. They fit nicely in my Taschenbegleiter Best Seller which I use daily, so they are both used almost daily. I am currently inked with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki. The paper, as i have heard from others and in my own experience using Rhodia paper of different calibers , I can say is perfectly capable of handling my daily needs without feathering, bleeding, ghosting, or other annoying habits. You may not get the glory-sheen experience expected from other high cost paper, but that is not what I need or expect out of it. These staple bound notebooks are great for conserving space in my EDC notebook cover, and they handle my few inks with ease. I am very happy with these and I am literally going to get some more right nowZ

Have been using Rhodia notebooks for years. These are THE best for the money! Anyone who uses fountain pens should have several!!

This is a great little notebook. I've used it as an insert in a travelers style cover. Perfect for fountain pens. Only wish it would lay a bit more flat.

The marriage between fountain pen and paper is everything. The Rhodia notebooks are the ideal match for my writing style. The A5 refill works for my leather journal cover.

Affordable, quality notebook. I use this for my classes and it gets the job done. A nice plus is it's made in France, too.

My pens feel so much better to write with now, and I can actually see some properties of my inks! A great upgrade- I'm loving Rhodia so far!

Love the experience of dealing w/ your company and hope to again in the future.

great paper, great little notebook. i use them in my A5 traveler's notebook.

I wanted another Mnemosyne 195 A5 notebook, but Goulet was out. So, I ordered the Rhodia, but it turned out to be a third the size. I ordered a Mnemosyne when they got them back in stock.

I was looking to build a A5 sized travel notebook system and needed to find good notebook inserts I could use with various fountain pens and inks. My requirements were soft covered, A5 sized, side stapled or stitched binding, and minimal feathering and bleed through. Included in my testing was the Apica CD-11, Clairefontaine 1951 staplebound notebook, Clairefontaine Basic staplebound Duo, Clairefontaine Classic staplebound notebook, Leuchtturm1971 Jottbook, and Rhodia Classic side staplebound notebook. The pens and inks I used were a Pilot Custom Heritage 92 fine with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki, Pilot Custom 74 medium with Noodler's Libery's Elysium, Twsbi Vac 700 fine with Noodler's 54th Massachusetts, Lamy Al-Star fine with Nooder's Apache Sunset, and Lamy Studio fine with Noodler's Bulletproof Black. The Rhodia Classic side staplebound notebook uses the same amazing 80 gram paper found in all of their standard products. It's smooth. There's minimal ghosting with no bleedthrough. The 8mm rule is a little big for my taste, but it still works well. This stuff is really the standard at which all else is measured by, in my opinion. The staplebound seems durable. The cover is soft, flexible, and almost plastic-like. Very durable stuff. It comes in the classic Rhodia orange along with also black or white. The Rhodia Classic side staplebound is a quality notebook that definitely worked well for my needs and I have no problems recommending it to others.

This is a very good planner. The size is just a bit big for my purse (I do carry a large one). But that is livable. I am returning it, however, not because it is a bad planner. I am returning it because, due to my failing eyesight, I find the orange print on the pages and the thin and faint lines, just too difficult for me to read. Instead I have gone to a Midori Traveler. The size is a bit more convenient, and since one puts the months and dates on the pages themselves, I can make the print as dark as I want.So if you are not losing your vision, this is a great planner! I wish it worked for me.

The Rhodia paper has been great for me so far. The has been no feathering, and the ink dries fast, so I have no complaints.

I really like the quality of the paper and binding of the Rhodia Classic side-stabled notebooks I ordered. This is my work-horse notebook that goes to every meeting with me. Everything about it--the quality of they cover, the size and the quality of the paper-- are everything I hoped they would be.

Its Rhodia, we all know its awesome. Smooth, bright, and hasn't fallen apart in my messenger bag yet. I only wish they would make their notebooks in more than 2 colors so i wouldn't have to break out a handful of notebooks to find the right one for each class.

I love Rhodia/Clairefontaine paper, and so this was a great value. This will be my next thesis notebook. I think the staple binding will allow the pages to lie flatter than they do in the basic Clairefontaine notebook with the glued binding.

Wow, the paper is so smooth it loves my Lamy and TWSBI pens so much. I'm using this as an Ink Journal for future, current ink, and future and current pens. Next pen I order I'm going to add 5 more.

Great paper. I like wide lines, so this is really nice.

This is my first Rhodia paper. The paper is amazing, but the cover and staples are not on the level of the paper. Should be expected going for the cheapest option. I'll spend a little more for better binding next time.

I already knew Rhodia paper was great - I just wanted to try it in a regular notebook format. A notebook with 96 pages of Rhodia lined paper for $3 is a great value.

Never purchase just a single Rhodia notebook. You will want to have a few blank for a rainy day, to give, or you will fill up your current book without realizing that you need another one the next day. Rhodia has always been a reliable company with reliable products.

The paper is great. I never used any Rhodia products until I got this notebook. The cover of the notebook came off of the staples that bound the notebook. I fixed it with a bit of Elmer's glue though, so all is well. Just be more careful with your notebook that I was with mine. I had left it in my backpack for a week or two, and the first time I tried to open it was when the cover popped off it.

I had not tried Rhodia paper prior to this, but had heard and read a lot of things about it. This paper is awesome with smooth fountain pen nibs, rollerballs beware (doesn't seem to be enough traction to turn the ball). My Monteverde (M) is super smooth on this paper, practically no feedback, if I'm in the sweet spot. This paper is also White-White, you get a real taste of the true color of your inks.

I love Rhodia paper and these notebooks are no exception. Nice size for portability and the excellent quality of Rhodia, which prevents bleed-through or ghosting. What I also like is the separation between lines, which for me is perfect, due to the size of my handwriting (not small). Perfect marriage of quality and affordability.
