High capacity hardcover notebooks?


BambinoFortunato

Recommended Posts

For journals I've been using Rhodia's hardcover goalbooks, dot grid, approx 224 numbered pages, a5. I would love to get something with even more pages, like 300-500. A lot of high capacity notebooks use the 52gsm Tomoe paper, but this is too crinkly for me especially since I also use my journal for pencil sketching. I've noticed Odyssey Notebooks has 400-page hardcover notebooks with Tomoe's 68 gsm, which I'm considering. Anyone else making 68gsm or above hardcover notebooks that are good for fountain pens and have hundreds of pages? Thanks!

I'm curious to see what you'll find.  That kind of page count along with hardcover is going to be tough.  

 

IIRC Hippo-noto made some very high page county notebooks, but softcover.

 

The "new" (as of 2021) Tomoe River 52gsm has a texture, improved showthrough, and "non-crinklyness" similar to the 68gsm.  Which is perhaps why a lot of people didn't like the change.  I have always preferred the 68gsm because of those attributes, though, so I thought the new 52gsm was an improvement.

Midori's paper is similar in weight, thickness and texture to Leuchtturm's.  I wouldn't call it crinkly.

 

I have to say that Midori MD paper comes across in use as very different to Leuchtterm's standard paper, being, IMO, significantly higher in subjective quality and ink handling than the Leuchtterm stuff.

      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
