RhodiaReverse Standard Notebook - Graph, Orange 8.25" x 8.25"

I've been using these tablets (and some of their others) for years and love them. I, too, am a daily fountain pen writer, particularly when writing poetry, and the combination of fountain pen, ink and quality 80g paper is heavenly. I particularly like the square format because it is so portable. There is also something aesthetically pleasing about working on a "square sheet" which is such an elemental, archetypal shape.HOWEVER!!! Please tell me if I have missed something. Since I usually buy my Rhodias in bulk perhaps they have changed something that has affected the quality since last I purchased them.WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELLME WHAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT? I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE ORIGINAL POST THAT STATES THE PROBLEM YOU'RE ALL TALKING ABOUT.THANK YOU!!!

I haven’t used it yet but it looks like a nice solid note taking book. I’m excited to see right on the paper and see what all the hype is about

I cannot say enough good things about this little notebook. A little history: way back when, it seems like shortly after Guttenberg invented moveable type, when I was in architecture school, we were taken as freshman to the printing plant to make our own notebooks. I was able to design and make a notebook (9.5 x 8.5) using graphic arts stock (roughly 32 lb. smooth finish stock). My notebooks were double wire bound, which was newly available then, and used chip board covers front and back. The paper was thick and stood up to fountain pens, drawing pens and ink, and even moderately dry water color. I have to have these custom made now, and the cost is prohibitive at around $100 per 100 sheet notebook in lots of five ($500 a run). I have been searching for a more economical alternative, and this Rhodia notebook perfectly fits the bill.While I haven't tried the watercolor on this paper, it holds up well to virtually everything else. The square size is perfect for me, being close enough to my preferred size. I could live without the printed grid, but find it is not intrusive and often useful. The paper does feel flimsy, which might cause concern for fountain pen or technical pen users, but no worries, no matter what I do I have not been successful in creating feathering or bleed through. All Rhodia products use the same Clairefontaine paper (so I am told), but the combination of size and paper quality really works well for me.Another reviewer was disappointed that the back cover was not sturdier. I too prefer something stiffer for a back cover. I glued a piece of matt board to the inside of the back cover - problem solved!

I ordered this notebook. Paid less than 10$ (10.64) with tax. The notebook arrived after a few days in pristine condition. I am very pleased and wish that I would have ordered from Amazon to begin with. I have been stopping at my local art supply store to buy one of these notebooks for months, and I could not find a notebook with these measurements that wasn't 15$ and in bad condition. (Bent covers. Wrinkled pages.)I love rhodia notebooks because of their paper quality (Vellum-ish so pen is very clear on the page.) and dimensions. I am a very visual and 'holistic' thinker, so having the space on a page to have 2 wide running columns side by side or 4 equal squares on a page of graph paper in a notebook that can be put in a purse offers a tool that allows me to get ideas and information organized in a way that makes sense to me. Having that extra space to put down all of that extra, not quite relevant information that sometimes ends up making the difference between good and great is very handy.I recommend these notebooks for other weird thinkers like me.

Purpose : Bullet journal. I needed something with1.Spiral Binder2.Non-bleeding paper3.Some form of grid or dot4. Larger than tiny5. Plastic or hard coverThis fits the bill! I tested the paper with my Pentel Touch Pen and a Papermate Felt tip pen. Neither pen show on the other side of the page. The book is a good size without being too large. The pages themselves are square but the spine covers two of the grid spaces on the spine side. My grid is a usable 41 x 39 grid area. The grid in my book is a purple/blue color. You can also turn the book whatever direction you like to use as it's the same every direction. There is a perforation along the spine if you wish to remove pages that way. The cover is a hard plastic, matte inside and gloss outside. *edit* The cover is actually thick laminated cardboard with a plastic feel * The spine is a liiiiittle too small to hold anything other than a regular sized pen with a cap. After counting my pages I came up with 79. I probably missed one. Several pictures attached! *edit* after using for the month, I've found that it does take inks a few seconds to dry on the sheets, so I need to move slowly in order not to smear. Also if any water touches the sheet, the ink will smear. I might have accidentally put my hand down when my hand was slightly damp after washing my hands off, ended up with an nice smear across a page 😒, my fault but I was still sad. Lesson learned!!*

Rhoda products are really good. However, the notebook took a long time to arrive. The vendor advised on the wait which was good. When it arrived, the notebook was in an oversize envelope without inner protection. The book was bent on itself and front cover creased. Inside pages fine and I need to use, so will not send back, but will request better packing if I order again.

I enjoy this pad for taking meeting notes and making occasional plans and outlines. The paper is fountain pen friendly, of well-deserved reputation as among the best, but, still, not finest, thus the 4 out of 5 stars.

You can't beat Rhodia paper quality. It is simply the best. I use this as a bullet journal and it's perfect! Love this!!

The softest paper you'll ever feel!

It's ok. Took a long time to arrive.

Nice idea that you can have this which ever way you like. The paper quality is great but my gosh it’s flimsy. The covers aren’t supportive in any way. The paper moves when you write. I’ve had to use some stiff card & a clip to stop the whole thing being useless but it adds to how annoying the book is, this is the 2nd book by these and last. It’s really bad
