If you have an interest in paper, check out Lovely Design at
http://www.lovelydesign.com/ . I have one of her small books -- while not all the papers in the book are suitable for FP, it is an interesting collection nonetheless.

I can't recall where, but I came across this lady's website and stationery elsewhere... Her studio is in Vancouver, and she welcomes visitors so I might drop in one of these days! I'm a bit map-obsessed so the
I Miss You letter set is quite appealing for me- hopefully it's FP-friendly!

I realized belatedly I posted this to the wrong forum -- I should have posted it just to the Paper and Pen Paraphenalia, rather than the Paper and Pen Paraphenalia Reviews. So I guess I'd better do a bit of a review!
The young woman who owns Lovely Designs is a graphic design artist. She found herself over the years collecting different kinds of paper, simply because she loved the different designs that could be found on paper. Eventually she began her own business to make use of what had become a huge collection of interesting paper. Her products makes use of these papers, which she binds into books or uses for other practical purpose. I have the small pocket book, which has a plain cover but then binds together an odd collection of paper that she finds visually interesting. The writer makes whatever use of these books as they wish. I would guess that about 75% of the paper in my book is suitable for a fountain pen, but I can use the rest of the pages for small photos, or just leave them as they are.
It is an interesting twist to the journal, recognizing that paper and what is printed on the paper has its own beauty.
It looks to me from the website that the "Take Me Too" books are bound in maps, but contain heavy paper inside, making them more suitable for those who want to be able to write in the entire book.
