Amazing quality, beautiful...,
September 11, 2012
Amazing quality, beautiful notebook! I have wanted a Rhodia Webnotebook ever
since they came out w/the lined version many years ago, but I held out for the
dot grid version....and wouldn't you know, they made one last year, and Jetpens
carries it!!!! ^_^ yayyyy!
The Webnotebooks sold by Jetpens are the "3.0 version" with 90 gsm
Clairefontaine ivory paper that accepts broad gel pens & fountain pens with NO
bleeding or feathering (you CAN write on both sides of each page!), lies flat
when open, & does NOT have the distracting Rhodia logo on the bottom corner of
every page.
And if you use the 40% off coupon, or you buy the two-pack, Jetpens actually has
the lowest price online.
If you like the "little black book" feeling of pocket Moleskines and the
"art-journally" feel of those cool black hardbound sketchbooks, PLEASE grab
yourself a Webnotebook and enter the world of grown-up journals :) because after
I unwrapped my two dotgrid Webbies from Jetpens (one black + one orange, of
course), I immediately gave away my remaining unused Moleskines and
Piccadillies, because YES, Rhodia's Webnotebook IS just...galaxies away from
those silly little Molies/Molie clones & their wafer-thin pages that
feather/bleed & their weird oily moleskine covers that smell like chemicals.
(P.s. then I came right back to Jetpens and got two of the bigger lined
Webnotebooks plus a smaller size lined notebook-and I'm sure I'll be getting a
couple blanks sometime soon).
The only reason I would ever hesitate to recommend the Webbies is if ivory paper
isn't your thing...if you prefer bright white, then you may not *love*
Webnotebooks. Jetpens has a pic of the ivory pages; if you look at the large
blank Webnotebook with the black cover, you can see that the pages are
ivory/off-white. To me, they are just lovely & it adds a little character to all
of my various colors of ink; ink purist-types may prefer absolute white pages to
experience the "true color" of their inks...to each his own!
But if you're already using a Moleskine-type journal with off-white pages, you
only *think* you're happy.... For the same price, you could upgrade to a Rhodia
Webnotebook and experience true luxury.

Rhodia Webnotebook - Orange - 5.5" X 8.25" - 96 Sheets - Lined - Bundle of 2
The pricing is for 2 notebooks... And they are very very good notebooks at
that.
Don't pay attention to any pretentious rants here about capitalism. Especially
if the person who wrote them cannot be bothered read the product description.

This review is from
Rhodia Webnotebook - Orange - 3.5" X 5.5" - 96 Sheets - Lined - Bundle of 2
I've used every kind of Moleskine in every size, and I pretty much thought that
the Web Notebook would offer a similar experience. I'm happy to say that I like
the Web Notebook so much more.
The paper is fantastic and the cover has a bit of a cushioned feel. I'm not a
fan of using fountain pens everyday since I like to highlight things, but my
Tombow Airpress plays nicely with this notebook. Plus, it's orange.
Doesn't get much better than that!

Rhodia Webnotebook - Black - 5.5" X 8.25" - 96 Sheets - 5 mm Dot Grid - Bundle of 2
Can't believe there's not a review for this yet. Amazing notebook. Cover feels
great.. paper is exactly what you'd expect from Rhodia (perfect for fountain pen
users). The dot grid is non-intrusive and serves a nice subtle guide for
writing straight lines. Excellent notebook. Better than anything else out
there. I wish they made a slightly larger size though like the Quo Vadis Habana.
The paper on this Webnotebook is also not as beige as other reviews have stated.

This review is from
Rhodia Webnotebook - Orange - 5.5" X 8.25" - 96 Sheets - Lined - Bundle of 2
Suggested retail price for these notebooks is $25.00USD each, they are not
locally available anywhere I've been and the best prices I can find online are
generally at least $6.00 more for two and shipping is additional of course.
Rhodia notebooks are on par with Quo Vadis another brand that uses
Clairefontaine paper and these two brands are the best notebooks I have found
for use with fountain pens and various inks. If you do not use fountain pens you
may not be as hard pressed to pay so much for a notebook as Moleskine is
sufficient for pen and ballpoints but the craftsmanship is far superior with
Rhodia and they are fairly priced here.
This notebook is fantastic!

This review is from
Rhodia Webnotebook - Orange - 5.5" X 8.25" - 96 Sheets - 5 mm Dot Grid - Bundle of 2
This notebook is fantastic!
- the paper writes like a dream with my Al-Star
- there's little (if any) bleed through
- the paper writes like a dream with my Tombow Zoom 505sh (mechanical pencil)
- the dots are non-obtrusive
- the cover is soft
- the paper lays flat when the book is flat
Next time I'm going to order the black cover though, but that's a personal
preference rather than a performance issue.
I would definitely recommend for FP users (or anyone else)......

This review is from
Rhodia Webnotebook - Orange - 5.5" X 8.25" - 96 Sheets - Lined - Bundle of 2
I love this notebook, actually I don't believe there is a better one out there.
But Jetpens is OUT OF THEIR MINDS WITH THIS PRICING. I buy them over priced at
the Container store for $18.00. That is a total of $36 for 2. Is Jetpens really
selling 1 for almost twice as much and then trying to give you a deal for
charging more than anywhere else for 2 and posing it as a good deal. I am really
disappointed. Almost enough to not buy from them again. I believe this is taking
advantage of there customers who might not know of this product and therefore
don't look elsewhere. Yeah I know it is their stupidity and not Jetpens
responsibility. F-that I believe companies need to be ethical in order to be
worth anything and they need to only sell something if they are being of service
and improving the lives of their customers. Capitalism doesn't mean rip off your
customer, that is why people are believing socialism is the only way, we can't
trust people will do the right thing. Leave it up to a few Ivy league wanna be
business people to be the rip off artist. Good luck with your successes.
