The recipient of this gift was very pleased with the unusual but highly appropriate design of their notebook. Lovely cover and excellent quality of paper inside..
In all honesty, the notebook looks nice and the paper feels smooth. However, I bought it specifically for use with a fountain pen, as it is advertised as fountain-pen friendly.
While it’s not the worst I’ve used, it does feather and shows slight bleed-through. The bleed-through isn’t severe, you can see the writing from the reverse side, but it’s something you can live with. The feathering, however, is noticeable and disappointing.
I’m using a fine nib, but on this paper it writes more like a medium (almost broad).
If you’re using a ballpoint pen, this notebook should be perfectly fine, it has a nice design and smooth paper. But if you’re planning to use a fountain pen, as I did, I’d recommend avoiding it.
Brilliant service - ordered and posted the same day. Well packaged and superb little books.
Beautiful design and luxury feel. The paper is thick and strurdy and i am so excited to start filling this book with my university field and palaeontology drawings
Will definitely be ordering again :)
This A5 hardback notebook really looked the part with its attractive and interesting graphics, but looks can be deceptive. I'm pleased I took the plunge! The paper is lovely - smooth to touch and very fountain pen friendly with no bleed or ghosting using my fine and medium nibs and various inks. It opens pretty flat and no issue writing on the reverse page. The absence of pagination is not issue. I like to place a few key words at the page footer in my journal anyway. So overall style 10/10. Paper quality 10/10. Feel good factor 10/10. I wouldn't want to be without this paper quality for my thoughts and will buy again.
Bought this as a gift for a friend and they love it for notes and drawings.
Amazing notebook, very soft pages, the ink does not bleed through the pages and the drawings on it are beautiful
I love all of your books. The quality of the paper and the fact you can use an ink pen with no bleed through is just wonderful.
The little A6 book fits in my bag and is used for shopping lists. It has been used over the last year, no pages have come loose and whilst a little dog eared now still is reasonably presentable.
Bought as a Christmas present & the notebook was very well received by the biomedical student in our family.
Great quality and super fast delivery. It was a gift for a colleague and he loved it. We work in a manufacturing company of electronic equipment and we all love science so I’m sure he’ll use this a lot :)
My six year old grandson loves his new notebook! I have been asked where I bought it as he has friends who are desperate to get one.
This was a free notebook when I bought the A5 Computer Science notebook for my son who's currently studying it. To be honest I wouldn't have bought it as I thought it was too small to be useful but actually it was just what he was after as it fitted nicely in his pocket. Those with rings were too bulky and he hadn't been able to find any others.
So it's a very useful size to just pop in a pocket of your clothing or bag.
This was a Christmas present to my son who's studying Computer Science. He was very intrigued by what was on the cover especially the binary. So suited to a computer nerd. Very useful for note-taking in lectures - laptop too distracting.
We gave this to our son's form teacher for Christmas as she teaches Chemistry.
