Miquelrius Hardcover 8.5X11 Ruled Wirebound Notebook

Recommended Posts

This isn't a review but a heads-up. I bought one of these last week at my local university bookstore, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I know A4/8½x11 hardcover wirebound notebooks with FP-friendly paper are hard to find, and reasonably-priced ones are as scarce as steer cojones. This is one of them. The paper is 80gsm. (The Miquelrius website says it's 70gsm, which is the weight of its typical spiralbound notebook paper. I believe this is an error. I've compared the two myself, and the paper in this hardcover notebook is heavier than 70gsm. I say it's 80, just as it says on the back of the notebook itself.) The ruling is 7mm. Show-through is minimal. No bleed-through. People familiar with the poly-covered Miquelrius wirebound notebooks are equally familiar with the trim/ruling colors. I find these distracting, and some (the green and the red, especially) even make my eyes smart. But grey trim/ruling is neither distracting nor pain-inducing. Grey is good.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

Are the pages perforated for removal?

I got a couple of these myself and I'm very happy with them... I was going to write a review but haven't gotten around to it yet...

 

The best price I can find for them is on Staples.com. You can get them for $9.99 each with free delivery to your local Staples store for in-store pick-up.

If you are on Staples' mailing list you might want to monitor their mailings. Sometimes they offer a 20/25% discount on orders of a certain size or a $25.00 (varies) also on orders of a certain size. They carry (online) Iroshizuku ink too. You might be able to put together a purchase package and take advantage of the discounts offered.

Good tip! I happen to be on their mailing list, so I'll keep my eyes peeled.
