Notebook For College

[paumm2006]

Hello all.

 

First post, so be kind please . I'll cut right to it. I'm headed to college next year, and I'd like to take notes with my fountain pens. I'm therefore looking for a suitable notebook, which I'd like to have several characteristics. I'd like it to be A4, with tear out pages, and binder holes (the number doesn't really matter, I'll purchase binders to match). Also, I prefer spiral notebooks as opposed to stapled or glued, and prefer them bound on the side, not the top. What notebook do you recommend? Rhodia and the other "famous" brands don't seem to have a notebook like this. Oh, and although I don't want to say price is no concern and sound like a jerk, it really isn't, cause college is free where I live, so I can spend all my money on paper.

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

You may not be thrilled, but what I did in college was to use the back sides of printouts that people didn't pick up in the computer lab. Parker Quink was great on this paper.

 

In my fantasy life, I love Rhodia dot pads. I also really like the Kokuyo Campus notebooks and the Kokuyo Campus binder paper, especially the stuff with dots and lines combined.

Welcome to FPN!

Take a look at Black n' Red spiralbound notebooks. They come in A4 size and have tear out pages but do not have binder holes. The optik white paper is great for fountain pens.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I'll definitely take a look into them. I think there are Clairefontaine notebooks that match my wants, but I can't seem to find a store where there is a large and well organized selection of them. Amazon is utter chaos and the smaller retailers don't have as much variety. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Or any other suggestions?

 

Thanks again!

Have you looked at GouletPens.com? They have a decent Clairefontaine selection, although if I'm interpreting your flag right, it's kinda silly to buy a notebook that was shipped from France to Canada, then the United States, then back across the Atlantic to Spain. Then again, if you can't find a more local retailer, I understand.
