Hello #fountainpen community and #QueerInkSquad ! I'm looking for a new notebook to replace a Leuchtturm and while I really like the Leuchtturm, I want to broaden my horizon and try something new. Please give me recommendations for a paper notebook:
- A5 sized
- dotted grid
- fountain pen friendly paper
- available in the EU
- (semi) hard cover
- bonus: bookmark ribbon
- bonus: small scrap pouch in the back
@Kiki I really like Flex Book.

Although I don’t see dotted A5 in their shop.
But Paperblanks has that for sure.
@lepapierblanc @Kiki this is the Flexbook I'm currently using, it's dotted and slightly narrower than A5. (Enough that "keeping a folded A4 page in it to protect it" doesn't really work, but other than that it's ok for me.) https://www.twf.gr/en/flexbook-products/adventure-dotted
I had pretty much the same reasoning for getting it, and I like it about the same as Leuchtturm, maybe a little more, mainly for the haptics of the cover.
Edit: ah sorry, not a hard cover. I'm not sure if it counts as semi hard though, it's not super bendy.
