FollowerThe journal size (as mentioned in the description) is 7.7"x5.5".
I suspect Levenger has chosen this awkward size which is neither A5 nor half-Letter so that you have to order their notebooks, as this is not a common size.
Japanese B6 notebooks (e.g. from Mnemosyne) are 5.06"x7.09" which would be a little loose, but might work?
ETA Here are a couple of B6 notebooks from Jetpens. http://www.jetpens.com/Life-Pistachio-Notebook-B6-Lined/pd/13367 http://www.jetpens.com/Kyokuto-F.O.B-COOP-W-Ring-Notebook-with-Pocket-B6-7-mm-Rule-Black/pd/11014
Note that the Life notebook is even smaller than I quoted, while the Kyokuto is larger. The latter would probably fit quite nicely but as a twin ring notebook might have a problem in the spine. I personally like Japanese paper a lot - for fountain pens they're much better than Levenger. Although I will admit the picture posted in the description is quite convincing - perhaps they've fixed the paper problem (as long as QC remains good.)
One of the reasons I'm passing on this drop is precisely this problem that it's not a standard size (as far as I can tell).

robert.harrisWould you then recommend a journal which is both pleasing like this journal while also having a standard size?
