100% cotton legal pads?

[inkyblot]

i was wondering if there exists 100% cotton 8 1/2 x 11 legal pads? i searched google to no avial. something just like crane qaulity in a legal pad. white,ivory or yellow.

other then that what are your opinions on simply the finest bar none pad this size? no rhodia, etc because they are not that size. i also mean a different level than rhodia. rhodia is quite nice but it is not crane imo. i understand this will be expensive.

 

thank you

If you want a pad of 100% rag paper, go to a printer, select your paper and have them bind 1 edge. That's what I did when I inherited a Goyard portfolio with only 10 sheets left. The portfolio alone is over $1000 and they wanted $135 for a pad of mediocre paper? For $30, I ended up with 3 pads of great paper that I'll enjoy using.

 

Good luck!

super! that is a perfect idea! crane paper in my opinion is cheap for what it is quite frankly. i will just take 50 pages of mine at a time to a printer and have them bind it.

i know there is better paper but i am pretty sure that is better than any legal pad's on a stores shelves.

 

that solves that!

 

thank you. i never thought of doing that.

i thought i'd just mention. this goes into a alligator skin agenda i had made by a tanner in florida. it does not have the collectors appeal of goyard but i wanted alligator. i actually have my eye on a goyard right now but i don't think i will spend it. if i understand correctly, you got one heck of a deal!

I was also going to mention having pads made at a printers. I made my own pads a while back out of Southworth's 25% cotton paper and that was easier than I thought it would be.

Where? I've never found them. I only see them in the 8.25x11.75 sizes.
