Dot Grid 3.5 X 5.5 Notebook Recommendations?


-natalie-

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased a "traveler's notebook" (in quotes and not capitalized because it's not Traveler's brand... is there an accepted way to refer to these when they're not made by Midori or Traveler's Company?) that takes 3.5 x 5.5 inch notebooks. I have a Clairefontaine in there (which is spectacular) but I'd REALLY love some dot grid paper.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for a fountain pen friendly, dot grid, 3.5 x 5.5 inch notebook with a soft cover? Staples vs stitched binding doesn't matter to me but I don't want glue and I'd like it to be relatively small - the Clairefontaine has 48 pages.

 

Thanks in advance paper gurus!

I didn't know Goulet made 3.5 x 5.5! Thanks LizEF!

 

You're welcome. I have the one with the heavier Tomoe River paper and love it. :)

Or I should say: Ink loves it. :)

Several of the Fieldnotes have 70lb paper. You'll have to check to be certain. They are themed notebooks so you may or may not like the covers.

 

Story Supply also does very nice 70 lb notebooks. They recently had a sale of 40% off with "friends" coupon

 

Write notebooks also makes very nice FP friendly NBs but the binding is different and may not work in your Traveler type cover.

 

Bandiapple notebooks have great paper. Goulet use to sell them. They are made in Korea so you may need more internet searching. I know several people make large orders from them but I don't have a link.

This doesn't quite answer your query,

 

but if you are game enough, its pretty do-able.

 

Just buy a dot-grid Rhodia pad of correct size, and make your own Cahiers , like I did ...

TarokoShop on etsy.com has FN, 3.5 x 5.5 as well as Traveller's Regular and Traveller's Passport Size Tomoe River Paper in Dot Notebooks. NMPCC Just did a 4 week test on a new notebook( A5 and A6), Taroko is developing, the paper worked on every ink we threw at it. Jim Gooding put a big blob of blue ink on the paper, rubbed it in. Other than the wetness wrinkling the paper, no show through and no feathering. Usual disclaimers apply, no affiliation, just a very satisfied customer. Search for:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
