52Gsm Tomoe River *hardcover* White Blank Notebook?

[mysterium]

I'm looking for exactly what it says in the subject. Is this anywhere to be found? I see things with dots, and I see 68gsm, but I can't find this exactly. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

Edit: It appears that all they have in stock is cream at the moment.

Please be advised that notebooks from paper for fountain pens are not stitch-bound, meaning that they will not lie flat.

 

Other than that all I can think of is to either make your own, or purchase soft-ish cover ones from nanamipaper and then cover them yourself.

This forum member makes hardbound journals. They are stiched.

Taroko, Nanami, and GLP journals are stichbound, though softcovered. As are Kinbor and Stalogy journals although these are not TR, but use similar paper. These fountain pen friendly notebooks all lie flat.

I love Tomoe River paper and I've been making my own notebooks for a few years. My method was to print light gray lines on both sides of regular laser paper and also number the page at the top right. My method was to only write on the right page when the notebook was open, and when I got all the way through, flip it over and write on the remaining backsides to get back to the front. I bound these pages with hot glue onto stiff file folder .... and it works. 100 sheets, 200 pages.

 

Tomoe River paper was much thinner and wouldn't go through the laser printer without jamming... I wanted to make a 200 sheet/400 page notebook. So printing was out. What I did instead was to make a backing sheet out of stiffer cover stock with thick dotted black lines 1 cm apart (my letters about about 6 mm high), I printed a few extra lines on another sheet and carefully joined them to fill the longer A4 paper. (Using an American Letter length and then shifting it... is a hassle) I have 28 lines on my guide sheet. I laminated it. This goes behind the page I'm writing on and works great. I usually use a paper clamp to hold it in place. The dashes and thick line really helps when I flip the notebook over and begin filling the backs of the pages. The ink (Noodler's Polar Blue and Bay State Blue) doesn't bleed through, but it does make seeing the guide lines behind the writing more difficult. I have very tiny gaps between the thick black dashes. This helps make them easier to follow. Sometimes it's like I can't really see them through the writing, but I can still follow them.

The hot glue doesn't hold the pages as well as it did the laser paper, so I got some hot glue binding glue strips but haven't tried them yet.

Well, I tried to load the jpegs of the pdfs....
