I'm looking for a durable notebook to keep lab-type notes in. I'd prefer something with a sewn binding as opposed to glued up. So far the only CF books I've found are glued up. I bought one, but am concerned about whether it can withstand a daily beating.

Does CF make a notebook that's stitch-bound?
Has anyone had any issues with the CF books; in particular, the glue drying out over time and the pages separating from the binding?

Thanks
Bob

Yes, Clairefontaine does make stitched notebook. I own two of them with black covers, one the size of a small Moleskine and the other is 25.5 cm by 14.5 cm with blank pages.

There are both really solid and will withstand daily handling.

They certainly do, I bought one last week.

Black hard cover, A4 size, ruled, 192 pages/96 sheets, 90 g/m^2. It is also very solid. My Sailor 1911M with F-nib writes beutifully on this paper.

Best regards,

Thanks. Would you mind telling me the model #, which I think should appear on the label on the back.

My local stores only had glued versions, so I'm going to have to order online and the online descriptions often do not say what the binding method is.

Mine is the Clairefontaine Matris, model number 9046.

Best regards,
