1. Any experience with these?

2. Are they FP friendly?

3. What refills do they take? Are they even refillable?

[professionaldilettante]

By the looks of things, the signatures are limp bound to the leather. So no. Not refillable.

[JSButterfly]

Yes. Not refillable per se. I guess if you were familiar with sewing a book, you could reuse the leather cover. I'm actually considering doing that when I finish the current pages.

 

I have this same book in two sizes. I really like the book. It's like having four separate books in one. It takes fountain pen ink like a dream. There's some texture to the paper. (Watermarked: Lucky Parchment) But I quite like it.

 

I couldn't quite deal with the leather cord and having to wrap it around so many times, so I made an alteration :-)

 

 

Writing with Platinum Preppy .03 nib, Violet ink - Zero feathering

 

Other side of page - Zero bleed thru. negligible amount of "echo"

 

edited to correct the type of paper that is found in my Bombay Journal, purchased at Barnes and Nobles over a year ago.

I have the larger one and was curious if the paper in yours had a watermark? Mine also came with 2 removable sheets of paper and 2 sheets of a more transparent sheet, did you have those too? How did you know it was Amalfi paper?

HI - Yes, I have all of those things and features you mentioned. In fact, I use the loose sheets as a page marker.

 

Amalfi paper...hmm. I think I saw it was Almafi on the barcode sticker on the package. I don't have the original packaging. So I hope I'm remembering that correctly.

 

edited to say: I am NOT remembering that correctly as the watermark says "Lucky Parchment". Thank you Myyrkezaan for helping me take a closer look inside my journal!

My pages have 'CPM Parchment' on them, do yours?

Wow! I never noticed the extent of the watermark until just now...holding up to light and flipping pages... Mine says Lucky Parchment.

 

[JSButterfly]

Just googled "lucky parchment" and these hail from Mumbai. Not Italy. So I need to edit my other post. NOT Amalfi Paper.

[myyrkezaan]

I bought mine a couple of months ago, I checked the others there and they all were CPM Parchment. Don't know if they have totally switched paper or they use several different suppliers.
