Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

The Boorum & Pease stuff looks interesting.  I had not heard of them before your post.  Over 100 year history, but now owned by Tops.  Hardcover, sewn bindings.  From looking at product postings it appears that most are called "record books" and are what I would describe as just a lined notebook, not a multi-column ledger that I assume the OP wants, although they do certainly make those as well.  But if you want a hardcover sewn lined notebook with US legal sized pages (8.5x14) they make it.  Many large sizes we would consider unusual, but would appeal to people that occasionally post here looking for larger notebooks.

 

I have no clue about the paper, and the prices are too high for me to be the guinea pig.  

 

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000DLBVUE  24 Column, 150 Page, 12 7/8"x15 1/8" Inches, $162.66.  What a beast.  The Tops.com web page says MSRP is $336.31 with a minimum order of 8.  😳

  I’m just pointing out that there are some available, they don’t mention a format or budget.

I had a vintage  Boorum and Pease record book and loved it! I didn't realise that they were still around. Are they as good as they used to be?

I haven't tried one recently, but Office Depot has a pretty good return policy.

I have a couple of different sizes of ledger paper. In standard letter size a 4 column, and the paper is pretty good (Made in Brazil) National Brand.

The other is an Officemax brand 13 column 14 w x 8.5. It's from 2005, haven't used it as much.  (China)

 

The 4 column has only 4 or 5 sheets left, as I use it pretty regularly.

      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
