Rhodia 4 Color Book

Love that the book has 4 separate sections, though I will probably add some Post-It flags to make flipping to the sections even easier.

9x11 books are a great size for spreading out and taking lots of notes.

Ironically, this was my first time writing on lined Rhodia paper. I've used their graph pads for making lists and taking quick notes, but I don't really like writing at length on graph paper.

And the result? I absolutely freaking love it. It's 80g rather than the 90g found in Clairefontaine products, and I really like the thinner paper. There also isn't that "drag" that I associate with the Clairefontaine. Fountain pen ink does take a few moments to dry, as is usual on higher quality paper, but there was no bleeding or feathering with this paper.

This one is definitely a "keeper".

This one looks really interesting. I like large, flexible notebooks, and the wire binding doesn't look too intrusive.

Rhodia paper is consistently FP friendly. The rounded corners are especially nice. I like the extra margin space on the left that you did a lovely job of exploring. Looks like a good product all the way around.

I love the margins on this paper and the edge colors. Did the spacing seem more like wide ruled, college ruled or somewhere in between?

Brad - then this one is for you!

Margana - I too am a huge fan of rounded corners...

Melinda - you got me on that question. I had to go and see what college vs.wide ruling was. Per Wiki, Wide ruling is 8.7mm and college 7.1mm. This book is in fact, in-between at 8mm.
