Brian Greene , Office Supply Geek, had a review of these notebooks on his Blog this week. He feels they are FP Friendly.

Nice pocket size notebook. Selling for $1.40 on Jet Pens site. I've ordered a few , which will be in this coming wek. Had an epiphany on the Dog walk Friday morning that these may fit in one of my favorite Leather covers , The Midori Passport sized Traveller. Checking Jet and My Maido it looks like they'd work. These are quite a bit cheaper than the Tomoe River Midori Inserts. Anxiously awaiting their arrival to check my null hypothesis, They won't fit in my Midori. Has anyone tried this in the past? Please pitch in if you have and if you think the Apica are a viable alternative to the Midori Tomoe Rive Inserts, FP acceptability wise. Usual disclaimers on Blog site , my Maido and Jet pens apply.

My Jet order of Friday, Delivered today, Free Postage if you buy a specific amount. The Notebooks fit perfectly in the Midori/Fauxdori Leather cover. Slightly thicker than the Midori replacement inserts. Work great with my inked pens. All nibs are XF Japanese wdths. Minimal show through . I think I can use both sides of paper . YMMV Jim

Hi Jim. Must admit any Apica CD i have tried has been very FP friendly. Glad they will work for you. Sadly, Jet Pens delivery prices to Australia are outrageous.

Thanks for these details. You are referring to the passport size Midori Traveler's Notebook, not the regular size?

 

Best,

Inkypete: Surely someone in Aus or New Zealand carries Japanese Apica products and can order these notebooks for you.

 

AD64: Yes, it's the smaller TN, the Passport sized one, these notebooks fit it. The Big(full sized) TN is too tall and a bit too wide to work with this particular notebook.

There are a few local sources now but don't always have the full range. I have used the A5 and A4 at times. Very nice and very affordable.

      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
