I really appreciate the mention that the paper clip does not come with. 😂😂 nice touch! I have had mine for a few years too. They are sturdy and very convertible. Nice review. I like your cheeky humor.

Oh,Bill! You're holding such a magnificent pen today. The Black Rosetta is always exciting to see! Thank you,little buddy. Writing "on the go",stashing stationary supplies in carry bags etc. sounds so romantic and adventurous to me. Truth is that a Field Notes and shirt-pocket pen(like Pilot G-2 or Retro 51 rollerball) is all I really tend to carry. I'm at a very sedentary/boring stage of life and can only admire those who actually need leather-covered notebooks for travel or commuting. I do have a dark blue(looks black) Travelers passport-size but only use it for truly mundane notes and lists; never carry it anywhere. I just love their cool-factor. I will use Tomoe River paper for very special occasions/letters to loved ones;but,most of the time I use pen+Gear A5-size notebooks from Walmart. They contain 30 sheets each; cost $1 apiece. I use 2-3 of them a month for taking notes on books I'm reading or subjects I'm researching online. Cheap but work well for my purposes. I actually prefer that paper to the coated Rhodia or Claire Fontaine stuff. Thanks for the review,Dan!

I'll be honest, it's not that much travelling romance for me either. But it helps keep me organised 😂. I like having different notebooks for different things and I find this very handy. Thanks for watching and the lovely words

Notebooks already come equipped with covers, and are fully functional on their own. Yet, we are encouraged to buy additional covers for notebooks that already have them. Some might argue that these systems are necessary for carrying multiple notebooks together. However, we already have bags designed for that very purpose. Essentially, we are being sold a "notebook system" to cover notebooks that are already covered and then carry these "systems" in bags that are specifically made for transporting everything we need-from notebooks to pens, laptops, and any accessories of any size. This creates an unnecessary and costly layer on top of an existing solution, allowing us to achieve the same outcome we previously managed without the so-called notebook system. What will be next? "Pen systems" to put pens inside a pen-shaped shell, so the pens can be used as pens? The consumerism of such marketing tactics seems to know no bounds!

Come on now! That just makes too much sense. Heck,I have bags to keep my other bags in. Then I sometimes put that into a backpack. It's crazy.

Well, that's just capitalism summed up, really, isn't it. There are many things I don't 'need', but I want them and, by and large, they bring me pleasure. Everyone has different ways to relax, some cost money, and if they enjoy them, then that might make the daily struggle a little easier. I certainly don't 'need' however many fountain pens I have, but they bring me pleasure. The act of writing, even copying, relaxes my brain and helps me process my thoughts. I like to use different pens, inks, and papers. 'Need to?' No, but in reality, there are very few things we 'need' . I also like sharing my thoughts and experiences, and I hope some find them useful. I'm not advertising or selling. If people watch something I've done and decide whatever it is isn't for them, then great. Ultimately, everyone is different, and each to their own
