i wish more companies started to do B5. Such a great size for notes. A5 is good for journaling but too small for extensive notes.

I use these for Bullet Journaling, so the 8mm lined ruling is a deal breaker. Any chance of getting the dot grid ruling added to this drop?

DocZZZClairefontaine manufactures Rhodia's paper, along with Quo Vadis. However, the recipe is different. I personally find Rhodia to be a little smoother, and most of their offerings are off-white, while Clairefontaine's tend to be very white. This 'My Essential' offering from Clairefontaine however, is also off-white. Both papers stand up extremely well to fountain pens, etc. Recommended.

I love these notebooks, but prefer a graph layout. Would have joined drop if not for that.

These need to come in blank and dotted. I find that there is no adequate replacement for Moleskine in the following combination: softcover, blank, with an elastic closure, at least 90 sheets. Rhodia have now started manufacturing softcover Rhodiaramas, but they are either ruled or dotted (dotted is a compromise I'm willing to make), and they are only 80 sheets. And, of course, no such combination exists in white paper. I'm just wondering what would cause "alternative" manufacturers to have such a persistent blind spot (I presume that since Moleskine manufactures those, they _are_ being bought).

Not softcover (one of the essential requirements), and paper is not white (a secondary requirement). Believe me, I've looked all over. Making do with various notebooks that don't meet these requirements. And a Habana is too expensive for something that doesn't reach the ideal ;)

keybersI know this post was from a long time ago, but I love the softcover B5 notebooks under the generic "artists loft" label at Michaels. Softcover, elastic band, plenty of pages, and the paper works well with fountain pens. They come in blank, dot, and lined. Check the coupons and you can usually score one for about $6.

Once again Massdrop screws a potentially good deal with outrageous shipping charges for something that barely weighs 1 pound.

EsteldinJust get them from CultPens if you are in Europe. Even if you are not they have excellent shipping prices. Clairefontaine has great paper quality and they are my current go-to manufacturer for paper.
