Rhodia Unlimited Pocket Notebook

[countrydirt]

One of the challenges of using a daytimer for personal organization is that the desk size is not always convenient to have with me at all times. But since I am an old guy that always wears shirts with pockets or pants with pockets, I thought it would be important for me to have something that I would be able to carry with me all the time.

 

I have a Markings pocket notebook, but the paper is not quite up to par with what I hope for, so I purchased a Rhodia Unlimited notebook from Goulet Pens Goulet's service is impeccable, even e-mailing me to confirm the details of my order. In a few short days, my package of notebooks and paper arrived in the secure Goulet packaging. After 35 minutes of slicing, dicing and pulling, I was able to free my merchandise from the bubbled and shrink-wrapped cocoon.

My first impression is that I always love the sensation of holding the Rhodia soft-touch covers. Smooth yet with a little tactile grip.

 

In my experience, Rhodia paper is among the best for fountain pens.

Since this notebook is for taking notes on the go, sharing sketches etc, I don't expect it to last too long. The pages are perforated for ease of removal:

The price of the single 60 page notebook is $7.

Thanks for the review - haven't seen these before. Will add some to my next Goulet order. Interesting comment re 35 mins to unwrap. Based on my past experiences that would be a PB for me.
