Journals/diaries/notebooks With Verguere Paper

Recommended Posts

So I was looking through my old stacks of papers/ journals and found some suitable paper for personal correspondence, in the form of G Lalo paper.

 

Try as I might, I've never found anyone making journals out of G Lalo paper, or anything with the verguere pattern on their paper

 

It's embossed lines onto the paper, so it helps guide you in writing in straight lines, and provides a rougher texture to the paper vs baby seal smooth Clairfontaine like paper. I've been using journals with dots, because I'm hopeless with blank papers and writing in a straight line.

 

Anyone seen journals/diaries/notebooks with such paper ?

I have some blank Semikolon notebooks that have this type of paper. I got mine from Jennibick, but I don't believe they sell them anymore.

 

The Semikolon website has them:

They are kind of pricey, but very well built...They come in various types (hard/softcover) and sizes.

(Vergé?) They do make wirebound notebooks: http://www.g-lalo.fr/Cahiers--06401065.html

 

It's a shame I can't stand wirebound notebooks.

 

There's a comparison with other brands, maybe they do make notebooks (in french): http://www.stylo-plume.org/viewtopic.php?t=16950

Where does semikolon source their paper from ? Website doesnt really show samples of the paper, just the cover of the note book

Ugh wirebound...get behind me satan..

 

I guess the conclusion from this post is that I'll have to buy the paper and make a notebook of it myself/get someone to do it.

I am not sure unfortunately. I too have gathered the supplies to bind a book myself but all I've managed to do since is buy more notebooks...LOLOL...May you fare better than I did.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
