The only notebook I can pair with a Hobonichi Weeks!

The Hobonichi Weeks, and by extension the Weeks covers, are very awkwardly-sized. Good luck finding a thin-paper notebook in those dimensions, not to mention one you can slip into your Weeks cover in addition to your planner! Especially if you're looking to buy locally and avoid ridiculous import charges from the US, there are extremely few products on offer in the european market. As such, GoodInkPressions was a wonderful find! Even the thicker notebook (160pg.) fits in my Tragen cover, right alongside my Weeks. Much appreciate the dot grid paper, as well. There are some drawbacks, albeit minor. One is the long time until delivery (about a month). This is perfectly understandable for a small company. You just need order your notebooks 4-6 weeks before you actually need them. Another (mostly technical) issue is the way the notebook fits in a cover: due to the thinness of the paper, you absolutely _must_ use a pencil board, otherwise the pockets/features of the cover will damage the paper once you start writing (alternatively, you can remove the notebook from the cover every time you want to write something down). This is only for the outer 10 or so sheets of paper. After that, things become manageable. One last point I'd like to make is that you probably don't want to use a (160pg.) GIP notebook in a Weeks cover by itself (e.g. as a BuJo). It's slightly thinner than the Weeks and looks very sad on its own. So, if you'd like to use a notebook this size in a Hobonichi cover, but without the Weeks, consider doubling up to make it a tad heftier.

Absolutely wonderful

These notebooks are an absolute delight. Wonderful craftmanship for an exceptional paper. I have already bought like five of these and I will buy more for sure. Thank you fir such an excellent product!
