These are some expensive little Japanese notebooks that I've been wishing to be given as a gift. They have a super tiny gridded paper (I think other options available) and I'm a sucker for linen covers (which come in many colors). Does anyone have any thoughts?

I just took a look at the notebooks at another website, I must say I would be wiling to try one. I do think that they look very nice, I especially like that they can be used landscape or portrait.

I know this thread is rather old, but I came across it in a search for any word or review, etc. on these notebooks here on the forum. I've been looking for really great Japanese notebooks and currently have some Midori MD (beautiful! and the same paper as the Traveller's notebook) and am waiting for an order of Life Noble Note Plain in A5 size. I found the Postalco notebooks in my search and they are beautiful looking. I trust that like most high-end Japanese notebooks, that the paper will be great for fountain pens. Did you have any luck finding and using one of these? I'd love to hear about it.

Great review! The price has always seemed high, but I really love the philosophy of their aesthetic.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
