Easily Available Fp Friendly Pocket Notebooks?

That is HILARIOUS!

I have a couple of pocket notebooks from the Unemployed Philosphers' Guild which aren't too bad. They have a line of "passports" (passport sized pocket notebooks, but to places like Narnia, Area 51, Neverland and Oz ;)). Not super cheap, but I can buy them locally in a stationery store/novelty shop here in Pittsburgh (which also carries some fountain pens and Skrip and Aurora ink). I also have some of the Dollar Tree mini composition books that Sailor Kenshin mentioned (they are really cheap, and hold up better than the thicker ones from Staples because the Staples ones the paper is just glued into the spine -- I have one of the Staples ones, currently in use for keeping track of expenses, and not only is it rubber banded together, but I have the loose pages paper clipped together... :angry:).

I also have some really nice FP friendly-paper notepads made by Miquelrius, which have top glued pages that are perforated. They were freebies (apparently tossed in to fill out the box when I bought a bunch of their 300 page flexible cover journals a couple of years ago). Not sure of the normal price of them (you'd have to check their website).

ETA: Thanks for tipping me off about Evil Supply -- I just looked at their website and there are a couple of notebooks I really need to buy at some point..... :D

 

 

I'll go looking for the tiny MR noteboks, their paper is wonderful.

 

I'm also going to check out my latest Evil supply notebooks and report back on the friendly-ness.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

My idea of pocket size is 3" x 4" (around 75mm x 100mm), which I can carry in my pants pocket or my shirt pocket. I'm going to look for those Dollar Tree notebooks that Sailor Kenshin and Sasha Royale recommend. In the meantime, I get Apica CD5 and CD7 notebooks from Goulet Pens. They're thin and light.

 

I also use Apica's larger notebooks, and they might fit Flaxmoore's coat pocket better. The notebooks are thin and durable, and the paper quality is excellent. I prefer Apica paper over Rhodia because Rhodia has so much coating and ink dries more slowly on it.

I'll have to look into Apica. These notebooks are basically my Book of Mirrors (someone like PaganArcher may get the reference). Basically, it's a book of prayers, modes of self-improvement that have worked for me, or those I have tried that didn't work.

I'm so tough I vacation in Detroit.

      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
