Dear fellow paper and pen nuts,

 

Russel from Nota Bene asked me to share this with the FPN members, he is offering a special online 20% sale.

 

"Our way of thanking everyone that has

supported both the Whitelines and our internet store over the last few months.

This promotion is not available in the store it is exclusive to our

'out-of-town' customers. Everything on the web has been discounted by 20% and

the sale ends Sunday, March 16th."

 

Just go to the web store at http://www.nota-bene.ca/cgi-bin/online/storepro.php and you will see the price reduction. Shipping is flat rate at 12.50$ for shipment under 75$.

Don't hesitate to write or phone in your questions.

 

You will find Apica, Whitelines, Rhodia, Moleskine and the new Atoma paper from Belgium.

 

If you have any questions, I will be happy to forward them to Russel on my next visit.

 

Samovar, official Nota Bene ambassador to FPN

Woohoo!

 

I just got my first order from them this week: loose, Seyes-Ruled, Clairefontaine paper; Whitelines; and a bit of lagniappe & a lovely note from Russell. I'd be happy to buy from him again.

One of my student last year used Clairefontaine loose leaf, I think I might have gave him a better grade just for the quality of the paper :roflmho:

I forgot to mention, Russel will make a donation to FPN at the end of the sale. Please mention you saw this post on FPN.

I'm still trying to convince him to join FPN by the way :hmm1:

 

He also suggested that members of FPN visiting Montreal should write to him, he will make sure to be at the store to welcome you all.

Just a reminder, you still got 10 more days to take advantage of this great sale.

 

 

Love to get some of the loose leaf French ruled paper but the shipping takes it off my plate.

How can you resist loose leaf paper? ;)

Is it really expensive considering that paper is heavy?

Cheers

Such discipline! I always just order more other stuff so that the shipping is worth it. I'd gotten the loose-leaf, French-ruled paper in both single & double copy last time, so this time I bought the A5 size, some ink for my Lamy, and an Atoma A5 French ruled notebook, with which I am very pleased! :cloud9:

Atoma is the biggest temptation for me - I got some Myndology notebooks a while back, and have used them enough now to know that I really like them. Atoma is essentially the same thing. I'm still waffling though - most of the other stuff I want, like the Apica, is sold out. Still. Hard to resist.

I got a small Atoma notebook when he brough them in and I really like it. There was plenty of them last time I was at the store.

The paper has a bit more tooth than Clairefontaine.

I bought 80 small CD-5 Apica, sorry folks :embarrassed_smile:

My students are simply crazy about them.

I just picked up my order from the Post Office... Clairefontaine loose leaf, Rhodia A5, and Whitelines. Unfortunately, I have to let it set on my desk until I get an RFI out. :crybaby:

Sorry, I am bad about using acronyms.

 

RFI - Request for Information. My company is looking for a technology item and we send our requirements to several vendors asking for detailed information to be disclosed under a Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Hey I got my order of whitelines last night, after the USPS held it hostage for too long. Russel has great service and thanks to you for cluing me in to this vendor.

      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
