## Description

Clairefontaine Basic Large Clothbound Notebook (8 1/4" x 11 3/4") The Clairefontaine Clothbound Notebook (8 1/4" x 11 3/4") is a must-have in your collection. The paper inside is simply the best writing paper in the world, with a reputation that precedes it.

Review: is still great. The paper is amazing - 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.
Review: Smooth - This paper is nice and smooth. Dry times are not long and it doesn’t feather at all. Writing on this paper is like a dream.
