Kokuyo Cover Notebook - A5 (5.8" X 8.3") - Normal Rule - 26 Lines X 80 Sheets

These are wonderful notebooks. They have silly gold metal corners that probably keep the corners from fraying but the fact that they are plastic covers of just the right density means that it is very easy to write while holding the notebook in one hand and writing with the other. Because they are plastic they are impervious to food and wet things and just about everything. But the very best thing about them is that they accept carbon black ink very quickly and are dry in an instant which is unusual. They don't blob or spread but make a very, very nice clean line with a fountain pen and because the line dries so fast us lefties can write over other previous writing and not smear. But you cannot write on the back of the page as they do bleed through just enough to make anything you write on the front of the page obscure what ever you might want to write on the back. That's a small price to pay to be able to use my fountain pen cleanly and neatly. I use my 3 constantly and can't imagine what I'll do when they discontinue them. I guess I should stock up on the refills since the covers seem to last for ever.
