A Good Notebook With Numbered Pages?


cambridgecafe

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

 

I've been using the Moleskine XL Cahier and I love everything about it, except that the pages aren't numbered. I want numbered pages to make cross-referencing easier.

 

Manually numbering the pages is sort of annoying.

 

Is there any notebook that is close to the XL Cahier (stitch, not spiral binding, and can fold completely around the spine into a one-page footprint), that has numbered pages?

 

Thank you.

If you pay me, I'll run right over, daily and number your pages for you?

I prefer Leuchtturm notebooks. They are wider than Moleskine so you get more page surface to write on.

The page markings (lines, dots, grid) are faint so they dont over power the page.

 

I know people complain about bleed through but I dont think its bleed through, at least not in my books. The paper is translucent.

If you buy the blank Leuchtturm it comes with a template you put behind a page you write on. The template has lines on one side and a grid on the other.

It shows up well on the translucent page.

 

And of course the Leuchtturm are numbered and there is a table of contents at the beginning of the notebook as well. And they come in more colors than some other notebooks.

I find that the Leuchtturm that I use (small, soft cover, lined) has much less feathering or bleed through than any moleskine I've ever used. I like it a lot.

Wow the Leuchturms look great. Thank you.

I don't know how many of them would fold over like you request, but you could do a search for "lab(oratory) notebooks". There've been several discussions on those, and they will generally have numbered pages for patent/research purposes.

IIRC bookfactory. does bound laboratory and not research style books with numbered pages and various page lay outs, lines , squares, columns, etc. I have no experience using them with FP's, but they work great with Roller Balls and gel inks. Quality product at a fairly in expensive price, in a multitude of sizes. Usual disclaimers apply, Jim

Just throwing another idea in the hat - I'm not entirely sure that they'd be flexible enough for you, but Jottr notebooks have numbered pages. They do alternate lined pages with blank though, so I don't know if that'd be your thing. IIRC, the one I have took my medium nibs okay, but you'd do best to Google reviews for the thing.

I like the Leuchtturm and will probably stop using Moleskines when I've finished the ones I've already got. The blank and dot Leuchtturm books have numbers on, just like the lined.

This is a hard cover book, but otherwise has what you're looking for:

 

Boorum & Pease 21 Series

 

OMG. :clap1: I think you just found the journal that I used for 3 years of college. I've been trying to find the brand. Unfortunately, a jealous ex-girlfriend destroyed it after reading it many years later. Hence ex-girlfriend. I don't remember it being that expensive. But I loved it and it was very fountain pen friendly. If you figure that a Habana is around $20 and this has three times the paper, it ends up being reasonable. That of course assumes the paper is still fountain pen friendly. A lot can change in 20 years.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
