Bookbinders Online Writing Pads


slippery when wet

Recommended Posts

Some months back I offered to do a quick review for Michael at Bookbinders Online. He has started producing A4 Writing Pads made from Tomoe River Paper.

Michael's company is located not far from where I live, that being Brisbane, Australia and Tomeo River paper has been mostly unavailable here up until recently, with only one other company in Brisbane offering it in loose sheets by the 100's. So I thought this might be a good opportunity to make others aware of its existence and to provide just a few details about the Pad.

 

While Tomoe River has been reviewed many times before, I have no desire to repeat whats been said before

The writing pad comes in 2 sizes, A4 and a notebook size

This pad is $28 and the pocket notebook is $8

The A4 pad uses the Tomoe River Cream paper, 52gsm and has 100 pages to it.

The construction is Pad glued, which should allow you to lay it flat, but still remove sheets without damaging it.

There is a ruled and dot grid loose sheet template to assist with spacing.

Front cover is made from a smooth 280gsm stock that is acid free

The back is a brown 350gsm card stock.

Michael has advised if there is enough interest, he will purchase white Tomoe River in his next paper order.

 

As always it's a delight to use Tomeo River paper and now it is readily available in pad and notebook.

I normally only use a5 format and was pleasantly surprised with the A4 size and I would imagine

in a office environment it would be well received.

I should state I have no affiliation to Michael or his company.

I hope this will be of assistance to those in Australia who are looking for notepads/books made from Tomoe River paper.

Michael's products can be found at this web address.

Thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I also recently obtained a couple of A4 pads of Tomoe River paper from Bookbinders. This is excellent paper.

      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
