love this notebook. It has great paper. Smooth and yet it soaks up fountain pen ink without feathering. Allows me to use a "fun" pen while doing work.

More importantly for this notebook is that it has a great cambridge notes-like format with a column on the left and a notes section on the main part of the page. It allows me to take notes in the main section and put action items in the narrow column. Additionally, it has a little section at the top for a title and a small area there for attendees, location, date, etc. Being spiral bound, it allows me to fold it completely flat and use it without a desk/platform. The covers are a nice plastic, giving a little bit of elemental protection (don't expect it will protect it from a serious issue, but it will be good if you spill a coffee or use as a quick cover if running through the rain). Finally, the pages are perforated for easy removal. I find that this lets me take a quick picture with my cell phone and then give the hard copy to someone else if they need the notes or have an action item. I think this format is great, and when you add the high quality paper, professional look, and those other little nice touches,

I love the layout of this notebook, but ink does not dry well on the paper. Very smudgy. I can even smudge writing from meetings on previous days. Big bummer.

I have 14 of these that I’ve used through out the years. I love the size and layout. It’s perfect. I use gel ink not fountain pens. Never had an issue.

The Rhodia Meeting Book 90 is the best way of keeping track of meeting or project notes, and making sure that no detail or undone task escapes you. It is an elegantly simple system for keeping track of life's many details. Love it!

These notebooks are the best made out there. They do not bleed at all even with markers or fountain pens.
