I like the mix of horizontal and vertical lines. The alternating horizontal lines remind me of the paper we used when I was in elementary school; it kept our upper- and lower- case letters at the right height. The more things change...well, you know the rest! This notebook would be great for people who are particular about handwriting or about having numbers in order or both.

Great review. I think these notebooks are just about perfect. I just wish the pagers were numbered. They are bloody expensive, but the grid design is perfect for me. I understand that it isn't for everyone, but I like it. Have a great day.

Useful review - many thanks for this!

Love the fact that you’re a lefty. And Baystate Blue is the devil. That ink performs like hammered hell on pretty much everything but Tomoe River. I have yet to find a pen that it likes, aside from some cheap ass Manuscript stub nib that I got at hobby lobby. Maybe I can dilute it with some holy water.

Severed Metalhead just make sure it is distilled holy water.

Would be curious to know how it works insofar as displaying sheens. Nice first look!

Wondering about the cover. Is it leather? Or some pu/vegan leather? Or cardboard? Or what IS the material?

I find myself wondering if we need another A5 Softcover notebook in the market.

[@theoffstageme]

Mike Dr the market is very saturated. Everyone is looking for something slightly different I suppose. I have a feeling this one might find a place in the market though

[@korax67]

It depends on how much it costs I guess ...

What is the meaning of Minenstärke ? And what is the full form of F, M, and P?

[@MultiEbbot]

How do you like the Mont Blanc Beatles purple ink ? I´v been thinking of getting it.But it is pricy. Does it stand out in anyway ?

[@deborahr2913]

Thanks for the review. I was wondering about this notebook. I don’t think I’m a fan of the ruling. Not sure if there are any other options (like blank)?

[@theoffstageme]

Deborah R I am not sure. If this is all there is now, knowing Lamy they will introduce more and more. The ruling is actually pretty versatile.
