Apica CD-11 A5 Notebook - Mustard, Lined

Very good fountain pen paper.

I've tested this paper with my most aggressive pen/ink combinations and have had no bleed through and at worst, only light ghosting. It has a lovely feel to write on and for the price, one of the best deals to get a fountain pen friendly notebook. I'll definitely be getting more of these.

Apica Power!

I've bought these several times over the years and let me tell you that the yellow books are by far the highest quality of them all. Unless you manage to snag an ultra-rare limited edition hot pink...... okay, so all colors are the same quality. But these books are phenomenal for the price! My first book was for pen and ink samples. A nice little reference guide for choosing new inks or nib types. I was previously used to writing in a full-sized journal before, but now that I stitch my own hardbound books, I realized how easy it was to stitch multiple little books together. So for my purposes, they're perfect to carry around in my Galen notebook case! The paper quality is really nice. It's similar to Rhodia but somehow less blinding and the ever so slightly bit toothier. I do wish there were options other than just lined, but the price is great so if you like small books these are perfect.

Wrong size but nice quality notebook and paper

I love the quality of the paper. I was expecting and thought I had ordered a larger size notebook, so was disappointed about that . I didn’t see a different size was offered and had one of the larger size which I liked and so was ordering more.
