I became a fan of fountain pens. I have a pretty decent Lamy notebook, but its paper absorbs the ink so quickly that I can't enjoy the sheening and shading of some inks, like the Organics Studio Nitrogen or Sailor Manyo series.This notebook with Tomoe River Paper lets you enjoy writing with all types of ink. It seems well made. The finishing of the cover and the touching feeling of the sheets are the best!. Also, it includes a small pocket in the back cover to save any paper or card.On the other hand, you have to be a little patient and careful while the ink dries, but besides that, I recommend it!
