I picked up one of these books on your enthusiastic recommendation and wow! I wish I had found these a long time ago. Not only am I always indexing and writing page numbers, but I stick dates of use on the spine, etc. This book comes ready to rumble.

My question is: where do you find cases of these? I can definitely see needing to buy these by the case.

I was just looking for Blueline’s on Amazon, to try it out since you highly recommend them and they come in a pack of 5 as well for 35.45 which qualifies for free shipping!

I’m still in my testing phase … right now somewhat torn between Zequenz and Alwych, though I also like a hardcover like the Leuchtturm1917.

I actually prefer a pocket format but right now I’m thinking of something in between pocket and A5 – Zequenz does have a middle size, as does Alwych …
I did like middle sized CIAK as well, but it was a little too heavy to carry around with me – and I have to, I use my notebook as one in all – it is organizer, calendar, journal all wrapped into one with a lot of refering from one page to another (calender March has a date with a doctor, an arrow and a number next to that – pointing to the page where I made my notes preparing for the visit: questions to ask, observations to share, etc.).

I must admit though, when I write with my 3mm Pentel slicci, my handwriting tends to be significantly smaller than with a fountain pain, so I tend to get more writing space out of a pocket notebook than a lot of other people.

I too use a Blueline A9 and a Pilot V7 combo. You should know that the previous version of the A9 was even better, but I can’t find them anymore. I last bought a bunch of them about 6 years ago and I just ran out. I bought the new A9 on amazon and am in mourning at the (admittedly small) changes they made. Funny to complain about something like that but I have been journalling with A9s since the late 80s. It’s literally the one thing that has stayed constant in my life. Until now.

Woot! I am off to check these out. They look PERFECT! How do they stand up to mixed-media, though?

This notebook looks great! I wish it already had dates printed on it tho, as I discovered that I like using planners as my journal, with pre-printed dates already. :D That way I can keep track and if I have nothing to write that day, I jsut stick in a nice picture or quote I found that day. :)
