HOLY MOLE, GUACAMOLE!

 

 

Perfect size and I have been looking for a larger size TR notebook.

 

 

Any comments on the quality of his binding? Are they glued or bound with fiber?

This is awesome! Thanks for the heads up. I'm a diehard B5 fan. If only I could decide between white and cream...

 

The white is off-white or close to ivory. I would let your favorite inks and pen decide.

 

For example, MB "Toffee Brown," would really pop off the cream, whereas, Iroshizuku "Fuyu-syogun," would look great on the white.

 

My problem, two inks I LOVE for writing. Looks like white for this guy. :thumbup:

IIRC, it is a sewn binding. The notebook will lay flat when open, presuming it's the same as the smaller notebook. Beautifully made if you prefer a hardbound journal. Of course, the paper is great! :-)

Thanks for the heads up! I ordered one. I love that paper but haven't had a journal made from it before :)

I think I'll go for the white, then, especially since it's not a bright white. Maybe I'll get a pad of cream for correspondence...

Tried ordering, but the shipping was prohibitive, which is a shame because B5 is my preferred size for work and I've previously bought the smaller ones which are great.

Mine arrived in the mail today, and it is amazing. It s very well made and the paper is amazing.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
