Source For Cheap Fp Friendly Journals?

[merrycitrine]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I will try to find the mentioned journals. They all sound really affordable!

My vote for Markings by C. R. Gibson. Their A5 (ish?) journals go on sale at my local Staples every once in a while for $5, but the regular price is just under $10. Very good with all fountain pen/ink combinations I've tried so far. I also picked up some Poppin journals of the same size. I've been using one for one of my classes, and it does just fine with fountain pen ink.

Hello everyone,

 

Any recommendations for cheap fountain pen-friendly journals? (Under 10USD) Just something that is not super soft cover, and will hold up well and doesn't look like a composition book/school notebook.

 

 

Thanks!

Miguel Rius, sugarcane, Made In Brazil composition books are fantastic choices. I use all three and they have done quite well for fountain pen use!

Does anyone have any UK-specific (or easily available here) recommendations other than Black & Red? - many of the notebooks in this thread are coming up very expensive in searches... Preferably lined, A5-ish size. Thanks!

I picked up a notebook in the NU range from Tesco but I have seen them in Asda no feathering and little bleed through I have used them for some time now they also have a clearence section on their own website. Watch for postage though.

What don't you like about Black & Red? It is difficult to find better paper in a cheaper notebook.

A suggestion at the high end of "cheap": TWSBI Notebooks http://www.twsbi.com/collections/notebooks

 

Medium is about an A5, and Large is comfortably smaller than A4. The paper is exceptionally fountain pen friendly, and there are a lot of pages (120 sheets/240 pages), more than a lot of other cheap notebooks. MSRP is $13 for Medium, $16 for large.

Nosygrammarian beat me to the punch on this. I use their A5 notebooks as my personal journals, have gone through several volumes, and have nothing but positives to say about them. Wait until Staples puts them on sale and buy en masse. $10 list, half that on sale, and quite acceptable quality--no bleed/feather except in REALLY featherprone inks (Lexington Grey, I'm looking at you), sturdy, classy in the black or brown bonded leather covers. My one regret is that they only come in lined. My kingdom for a dot gridded Gibson...
