Clairefontaine Classic Wirebound Notebooks 8 1/4 in. x 11 3/4 in. ruled with margin 50 sheets colors may vary

I love this paper. For those mad 4 tablets weren’t included this is premium paper. Try practicing calligraphy on any other paper and see how you enjoy the process. You won’t. Also the lines appear like French Ruled but the grids are a tad smaller which is fine for me since I write smaller anyway.

Extremely smooth paper, very feather resistant. Great for even the wettest of fountain pens. Just a shame these notebooks are so expensive.

The quality is expected from a reputable house of paper. The construction is just mediocre. The here is ok. One book was damaged. I took a closer look of pages. There seem to be quite a few cosmetic blemishes on random pages. My guess is that these books may be manufacturer's rejects. Only the sellers know. Hey, if I buy enough and return the defective ones, it would still be a good purchase. Hehehe 😇😎 Hey, but if one takes into the consideration of the total area of paper she is buying, this is a Super Deal, if you don't mind sub-par packaging. Using the same order page with different sizes and sheets. I did calculations of total areas. This book, (29x23)mm x 50 sheets, came out the lowest price. 11/03/20: I just ordered 2 more. There has been a definite improvement in packaging and the description is a little more clarifying. Each booklet I received has own plastic wrap to keep out moisture. After buying different expensive brands, I went back to these CF notebooks for value. The writing area x number pages= best value. The notebook may look cheap to some but the quality of paper is still undeniable. The ink character difference between front and back pages or vice versa is still there but then I find this phenomenon exists on other brands too. In the end, I can tolerate this in exchange for the excellent value and yield.

I just received this item today, and the packaging was very sub-par. They just simply put the three notebooks I ordered in the standard orange Amazon envelope package, with nothing else keeping the notebooks in place, which allowed one of the metal rings keeping the notebook to bend out of place, which was an easy fix but I worry for other problems other people might have from this lackluster packaging. Now onto the product itself, which is very good. I just got into fountain pens and I have little experience with higher quality notebooks. I was surprised to see that A4 is actually larger than the american standard, which must be more like B5 then. The design on the front (as you can probably see from the pictures) is very cool looking, which holds up IRL too. The double rings used to hold the notebook seems very high quality, and I can't think of it disfiguring like so many cheap wirebound notebooks do. Obviously it does not feather (at least not with the stock ink on my Platinum Preppies, have not tried other wetter inks yet because I don't own any), however there is a bit of ghosting. It's not enough to really interfere with writing on the other side, but it's noticeably more than on Maruman paper which by comparison is barely visible. Also I'm not sure if this would count as ghosting too, but you can see the slight indents from writing in pencil and pen on the other side as well. Again, it isn't so bad as to interfere with writing on the other side like so many cheaper notebook paper does, but I've noticed nothing like that on Maruman paper. Overall it functions beautifully with fountain pens, and is a great value for A4 notebooks (an ever better value on Goulet Pens, I only got them here so I could order a cable with them too and not have to pay shipping). If you want something more like the american standard though, the (B5) Maruman Eco notebooks will probably be a better value, for $24.04 for a pack of 4. I don't know if they use the same quality paper they use on the brown covered Maruman notebooks, but they're certainly a good value $/notebook. Those are $6.01 per notebook and have free shipping, while at the time I bought these they were $8.14 per notebook, and on Goulet Pens they're $6 per notebook, but shipping's $9 where I live (you can check for yourself before buying them to see), so a pack of 4 would be $33. And yes, this listing IS for a single notebook, not a pack of 4. The title says "notebooks" while the description says "notebook", and I only knew it was for a single one because I was already familiar with the notebook. So yeah, the listing's trash. Also because of the way Clairefontaine packages their notebooks, you can't choose the specific color you want. Their completely random. For example, I got two oranges and a red. In the future I'm probably going to buy the Maruman Eco I talked about before, because they're all different colors. Which is important because I'm a student, and I want to be able to color code them for a specific subject. If you order on Goulet Pens, they let you write down a note about your order, so you might be able to get them to give you different color Clairefontaine notebooks, but maybe not.

Super paper and excellent spiral notebook. First, the paper is smooth - if you're like I was until recently and never paid attention to paper you write on - and you write a lot or enjoy writing, try Clairefontaine notebooks or stationary. Do try their paper. Smooth. No bleed-through. No show-through. I keep thinking of reasons to write - it's that nice. (Fountain pen friendly, too) Second, the spiral bound notebook itself is the same really high quality as the paper. I had my doubts so I ordered one. Just one. I'm not a "verified purchaser" and have no connections with the seller or Clairefontaine. I'm blown away by how well this notebook is made! It's not stiff or uncomfortable to carry - just the opposite. Somehow Clairefontaine figured out how to make an attractive, well-designed, easy-carry spiral notebook that won't come apart and won't get hung on everything you're wearing and carrying. Especially for college students or adults wanting a spiral-bound notebook.

If you’re reading this, you’re likely well aware of the quality of CF already. Writes perfectly with fountain pens. I had no problems with damage / humid paper from this seller.

Excellent for fountain pens.

I just received the two notebooks I bought and had planned to wrap them up and give them as part of a present to my fountain pen-loving and calligrapher friend. However, they came to me mangled at the corners, spiral binding bent in multiple places and wrinkles and creases not only on the cover but a majority of the paper on the blue notebook. These notebooks, although probably new, now looked sad and pretty much ungiftable. Highly disappointed with how it arrived and now I have to scramble to find something comparable by this weekend. Seriously, why would anyone be selling paper that's clearly much more expensive than the average notebook and then sell them all wrinkled. Aside from the seller, Clairefontaine paper and French-ruled paper are my friend's favorite so this review is not any shortcomings of the product.

Évaluation est💯 pour💯 excellent 👍 et une bonne continuation..!

I know it's weird to get excited over a notebook, but I absolutely love Clairefontaine! The paper is so silky smooth - if you run your fingers over the page you can't feel any roughness or fibres. The ink doesn't streak, bleed or run, neither does it go through the page onto the other side. It's heavy, good quality paper that is so wonderful I almost don't want to spoil it by writing on it! Yes, it's more expensive than other brands, but you really do get what you pay for with this (and no, I don't work for Clairefontaine!!).

I had ordered this notebook along with a Rhodia spiral notebook to see what all the fuss is about. This notebook is phenomenal! It is the most fountain friendly paper I’ve ever written on. The experience is great. There’s no bleed through, no feathering. It shades too! It’s a smooth paper definitely worth every penny. It’s better than the Rhodia in terms of smoothness, but the Rhodia shades better. Rhodia pads also have a slightly 5% more tooth/grain/feedback, so personal preference may vary.

PEDI ESTELOTE QUE PONIA 10 CUADERNOS CUANDO HICE EL PEDIDO , DE 100 HOJAS Y DE 90 GRAMOS PUES BIEN ME HAN LLEGADO SOLO 5 CON 50 HOJAS SOLO Y LA CALIDAD DEL PAPEL NO SE CORRESPONDE CON LO OFERTADO , eN NINGUN MOMENTO ME HABIAN INDICADO QUE ERA UN ERROR DE LA PAGINA Y ME MANDARON ESO SUPONGO QUE PARA VER SI COLABA.
