A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

yup, but they're just 2015, not academic. I was looking for something similar to http://www.staples.com/AT-A-GLANCE-Weekly-Academic-Appointment-Book-8x11-Black-2014-2015/product_213389 with better paper.

I was looking for a planner for this school year too. I saw good things about the Quo Vadis planners posted above on another thread so I think those will be a good choice. I don't really know if there's enough space on the Minister, and I think there's too much space on the Textagenda. I am used to weekly planners like the Scholar and Sapa

I don't know if they still do, but FranklinCovey used to have an academic. Or you can buy at Jan/Apr/July/Oct start date refill.

I don't have one but I understand that the Hobonichi Techno Planner is filled with Tomoe River paper. It doesn't get much more fountain pen friendly than that.

I bought the orange of these essentially it is well designed and laid out however it has the usual Moleskine crummy paper.

I use a pencil for my Moleskine planner, because my schedule changes fairly frequently. The incidental benefit of that is that the Moleskine paper quality isn't an issue.

Quo Vadis. They make 12 and 18 month academic planners.

 

I switched from Moleskine to Leuchtturm several years ago. However, the last Leuchtturm planner I got was not FP friendly (seems they've moved production to Taiwan).

I have a Blueline academic planner that uses sugarcane fiber paper. It's very fountain pen friendly, and I haven't experienced any feathering, ghosting, or bleedthrough.

I just got it few weeks ago. No bleeding, no feathering. It actually works well with my pens. So far, I have been using Waterman BB, Pelikan Royal Blue, Montblanc Oyster Grey, and Diamine Denim.

I'm in the market for a new planner as well. I'm drawn to the Leuchtturm 18 months planner, as that has space on one side of the planner to take more extensive notes. Anyone has any experience with the A5 size one? Is it the usual 80 gms paper?

Inks: Waterman Serenity Blue, Diamine Blue-black, Diamine Twilight, Lamy Red, Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses, Noodler's 54th Massachusetts, Montblanc Irish Green, Lamy Turquoise, Pelikan 4001 Brown

 

Pens: Lamy Safari Black M nib, Lamy Vista M nib, Sheaffer Targa F nib, TWSBI Vac700 demonstrator 1.1 nib, Pelikan M200 Cognac M nib

The Staples Arc notebook has an Academic insert that I currently use. The paper is quite good -- no feathering or bleed though and very minimal show through. My only issue with it is that the pages are attached with the Arc System which is basically like a binder style where the pages friction fit. Sometimes the pages can come loose and they are kind of annoying to turn. That said, the paper is good for fountain pens and the layout is very nice.

I was thinking of buying one however half a year of it would be wasted as it started back in January, I don't what so many places are doing still selling these for 2014. Six months later.

I think the 2014-15 one starts in September 2014 and ends in February 2016, which is a kinda weird date to end. This, at least according to the description here.

See my comment about Leuchtturm above. I love the layout (and Moleskine does something similar). The last one I bought was 2013-2014, and it bled-through horribly - in fact it was so bad that I quit using it. My current planner is a Midori passport, although I'm toying with the idea of switching to a Levenger junior.

      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
