The paper is amazing *by on Reviewed in the United States April 4, 2016* Generally, I prefer squared or narrow ruled notebooks, because I feel it helps constrain my writing somewhat, helping me to get the most use of the space. This notebook, though being neither, is still great. The paper is amazing, and as someone who writes a minimum of 10-15 pages a day with fountain pens, I can really appreciate its incredible smoothness and lack of bleed-trough. The pens I use for writing are mostly Japanese fine nibs, so they're not exactly wet pens to begin with, but even the more aggressive pens I have do very well with the paper.While I could understand how some might be put off with the large size (particularly if they're looking for a smaller, journal size notebook) I'm very happy with it. I normally write at a table when I'm doing so for extended periods, so the softcover works well. However, I would be concerned with the lack of a hardcover when using fountain pens other wise.Overall, this is a great notebook with fantastic paper (especially so for fountain pen users) at a decent price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality *by on Reviewed in the United States January 30, 2026* I do really love the quality of paper.Its really premium and totally worth the price for $22. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good notebook for fountain pen use *by on Reviewed in the United States October 25, 2024* Arrived on time, as advertised, no issues. Exceptional product for note taking with a fountain pen. Handles ink perfectly. Great purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Clairefontaine Basic Large Clothbound Notebook (8 1/4"x 11 3/4") BLACK 192 Pages - Clairefontaine 'Age Bag' Clothbound Notebook, A4, Lined, 192 Pages - Green - Midori MD Note Horizontal Ruled line --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/1524739-clairefontaine-basic-large-clothbound-notebook-8-1-4x-11-3](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/1524739-clairefontaine-basic-large-clothbound-notebook-8-1-4x-11-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
