ClairefontaineAge Bag' Thread-Bound Notebook, A5, Lined, 192 Pages - Grey

Good quality for my fountain pen.

Looking at some of the negative reviews I wanted to check this paper out for myself. I've been using fountain pens for 52 years now and I am critical of the paper I use and for the most part I only use high quality paper when available to me. I am not sure if the paper quality has changed from a year or so ago but I have to say I find this good for fountain pen use. Mind you I only use extra fine nibs with all my pens and I do have a myriad of inks to try but I would be testing out inks for a month. So, to keep this simple I used some of the most common inks used and some not so popular. The paper does not feel like true Clairefontaine that many might be accustom to. This paper has a bit of grip to an extra fine nibs if the tip is not smooth enough. In all everyone is different and what one person finds great or acceptable might not be the case for the masses. I do like this dotted notebook and if you use a bigger nib size I do not think you will find any issues with this paper. I think the price is on point quality is very good as far as durability I will have to see. You get 4 index sheets (8 pages) and the last 8 sheets (16 pages) are perforated so you can remove them easily if need be. All pages are numbered and one notebook can be used for an entire year for bujo / journal entries which is a plus in cost savings. Your mileage may vary but overall I recommend these journals highly for those just starting in journaling or fountain pen ink hobby.

Good quality, perfect as a gift.

The paper is very high quality and has a fine smooth texture. It is great for bullet journaling, has unnumbered pages at beginning for Key and Index. Following that are 184 numbered pages. It lays quite flat now that I have gone through front to back and back to front flattening a few pages at a time. This is a ruled journal. I would rather have dots or grid, but I wanted the quality of Clairefontaine. I would have given 5 stars overall, if the paper was thicker. That's on me. Even though I knew it was 90 gsm I imagined because of the brand and because I've had fountain pen paper from them before, that bleed through from markers would not be a problem. Wrong. That doesn't mean if you're journaling with ball point pen you would have a problem. I hope this info helps.

I like everything about itQuality of cover and paper.Good price for making notes and doodles

Useful & As Described!

Nothing special about it. I had expected more WOW at this price.

Using this notebook for my bullet journal. Soft cover fits well in my Galen Leather A5 journal cover. Binding seems sturdy and paper quality is excellent. Have had no bleed-through or significant feathering with inks of varying quality, and dry time seems reasonable as well. Will purchase again.

Es la mejor libreta que he usado: el papel es muy resistente y muy suave, terso. Además para los que usamos pluma fuente o liners, o tintas líquidas es suficientemente grueso que no transparenta a la página siguiente. La tinta se absorbe bien y no hace Feathing.

Bonne qualité de papier, livraison ok, facile à transporter.

Busco libretas para escribir con pluma estilográfica, y necesito cierta calidad de papel, en libretas con papel de calidad baja la pluma no escribe bien, le cuesta deslizarse, no es fluida o no se ven bien los colores de la tinta. Había probado una libreta Rhodia con papel Clairefontaine y me gustó mucho para pluma, así que me decidí por esta.lTiene un papel de calidad, la pluma funciona muy bien, la única diferencia es que esta libreta tiene el papel en color crema y la de Rhodia es blanca. Pero no me molesta. Aunque sí es cierto que suelo preferir papel más tirando a blanco.La encuadernación no es de lujo, pero es bonita y suave al tacto. Como sólo escribo a pluma y no añado dibujos, pegatinas o más papeles pegados, a mi ya me sirve. Si fuera para un Bullet creo que la encuadernación no serviría, pero es sólo mi opinión.

Very well made, beautiful and functional at same time.

Compré este y el Rhodia juntos, son excelentes.
