Review: 最高のノートです！ 万年筆もOK！定番化希望 - 今まで国内外の色々なジャーナル 用ノートを試しましたが、コストパフォーマンスとクオリティがピカイチです！ 特に万年筆ユーザーにお勧めです。 ・定価3000円ですが、desertcartでは常に31%引きの2082円(ロイヒトトゥルムの約半額！) ・90gsmの厚みの240ページ(1ページあたり定価で12.5円、実売価格8.7円) ・4色展開のハードカバー、ゴムバンド、栞紐2本、後表紙ポケット付き、インデックスページ有り、全ページ番号入り ・信頼の日本製で、カバーも製本も丁寧でしっかり。ページの角は丸く落とされ、全ページがカパッと平らに開きます。 デザインも、ニーモシネと同様に高級感のあるシックさと、少しの遊び心のある感じが素敵です。 ・特筆すべきは、紙質とページ構成の素晴らしさです！ 定評あるマルマンのニーモシネ より少し吸水性のある上質紙で、ロイヒトトゥルムより厚い90gsm。 万年筆＋水っぽい染料インクでも裏写りや裏抜けが無く、インク乾きも速いです。 万年筆とのセット販売もあるくらいで、万年筆での書き心地を重視＋自信の程が伺えます。 ジャーナル 用のインデックスページとページ番号入りで使いやすく、ドット方眼は筆記の邪魔にならない色と薄さ。 ページの上下左右の半分とさらに半分の１/４部分のマス目にも▼のマーク入りです。 総じて、ジャーナル 用ノートの要件を非常によく研究して開発されていることが伝わってきます。 開発に携わった方達に感謝と拍手を送りつつ、定番化を切に願う一冊です。
Review: Bad paper quality - Dear ladies and gentlemen, I bought a Maruman Mnemosyne Notebook from desertcart and had high expectations due to all the excellent reviews on the web. However I am highly disappointed. The paper is not as smooth as described but more importantly even when tested with different pens and inks it seems to be not fountain pen friendly. Most of my pens appeared to be try and writing thinner than for instance on a Rhodia pad paper. If I choose wetter pens like a Pelikan or the Magna Carta the paper shows bleed through as well as feathering. Did I get a bad version of the notebook or does it contain different paper than the highly recommended spiral bound notepads? Kind regards Dirk
