The paper is awesome and will take on any ink without a fuss, even from my wettest flex nibs. I love these notebooks.

There is simply no better notebook. I’m such a fanatic that I order them by the case from France. There is simply no better notebook.

It is quite good. The paper is probably among the best for fountain pens. It has been kicked around in backpacks, data centers, and desks, the edges are a bit dirty, but it has held up tremendously well. It was dropped once, and caused some damage. Packing tape re-enforces the binding. The cloth binding is nice in that it does lay flat. This is good in most journals. For my purposes (capturing meeting notes, getting odd details in the field, etc.), I'll likely look for a spiral bound notebook (to allow me to fold it back on itself).
