Mead Notebook

Recommended Posts

Hello all, first post here.

 

I was wondering if any of you have ever used a particular Mead notebook that I've never seen anywhere else, not even online. It's got heavy cardboard covers, heavier than the staples bagasse notebook, double wire bound, 100 sheets college ruled, 10.5 x 8 in, and the one I have handles fountain pens great – there's less see-through (is that what it's called?) than the staples bagasse comp book I also have. I just wanted to know if I'm crazy or if anyone in the entire world has seen another of these (and even better, where to buy more...)

 

I'll try to get my hands on a camera for pictures.

 

Thanks!

You know, I have a vague memory of those! I did not buy it and now I wish I had! I have a wide variety of pens, from fountain to ballpoint, and I am on the hunt for a school notebook that works nice with all of them. Also I need to find some nice lined loose leaf paper. If anyone knows, please message me or respond. Haha, but to the original thought, No you are not crazy, as I am writing this that notebook is more and more familiar. My first post too!

 

Good Luck

They were available in large quantities at Staples this year as a "back-to-school" promotional item for 99 cents. I bought a dozen and should have picked up more. Great paper for fountain pen ink.

For the past several years, I have kept a Mead Cambridge notebook on my desk for note taking and doodeling. The paper has been quite fountain pen friendly and well behved. That has unfortunatly changes with my current notebook, in which much the paper is prone to feathering, bleedthrough, and just plain poor quality. I can only hope this is an exception, and not the new normal...

      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
