Rhodia Rhodiarama SoftCover Notebook - 72 Dots Sheets - 4 x 5 1/2 - Anise Cover (117356C)

Love these Rhodiarama soft covers. I know it's not leather, but they look and feel like really soft, supple leather. The color of this one, Tangerine, is a great darker orange. These Rhodia books are kind of no frills, no table of contents pages, goal pages, page numbering, etc. Just well made notebooks with excellent Clairefontaine paper. That's all I want. I don't need all that other stuff. I love the Clairefontaine 90 gsm paper. It's glass smooth and extremely resistant to bleed-through / show-through. You may not get the crazy sheen effects you get on Tomoe River paper, but you also don't get the show-through and the long drying time. I'll take this paper for everyday writing, journaling, etc.

I’m incredibly weird and picky about notebooks. I bought this one in red for my first bullet journal, in March 2018, and immediately fell in love. There’s something humble about it - it’s not fancy, not hardcover, doesn’t have any real bells or whistles, and that somehow made it the perfect thing to get started with bullet journaling. I admit, I get intimidated by pretty journals and stationery - it feels like you’re going to mess it up. Not this. It’s inviting somehow. The leatherette cover is soft and feels good to hold. It opens up completely flat without damaging the spine - I don’t know how they do it. I also hardly ever use up a notebook entirely, or keep up a journaling practice, but I wrote on the last page of that first red rhodiarama in May of 2019. I tried to move onto a different brand after that but it just wouldn’t do, so I bought another one of these in turquoise and I’m back to journaling. I’m telling you, these things are magic. I use mostly sharpie pens, plus occasional highlighter and posca marker. Sometimes highlighters bleed through very slightly, but other than that, I’ve had no issues. The paper is soft and lovely to write on. I love how it’s slightly off white rather than just white, if that makes sense.Amazon isn’t letting me put pictures on this review for some reason so I’ll just describe what the 2018-2019 journal looks like after daily use for a year. It’s a little scuffed along the outer spine and edges, but it’s held up really well.

Fantastic paper, enables a wonderful writing experience

I've been using Moleskine notebooks for the last few years and loved them, but I have had people tell me they are overpriced in light of the quality. I never had an issue with Moleskines until I started using fountain pens--this is where paper is put to the test. I've tried three different types of Moleskine with fountain pens, and the paper is totally different. But unless you are using the Cahier notebooks, with fountain pens (or anything else that writes very wet), you are going to experience scratchiness, tons of ghosting, and/or a fair amount of bleeding.With Rhodia, you pretty much know what you are getting. All of their products have one of two weights of paper. Both are heavy, very smooth, and pretty ink-resistant. I love this paper.As for this notebook in particular: the cover has a nice leather-like look and feel (better than the leatherette Moleskines). The spine is a little lumpy, but nothing I can't live with. I have note used the hardcover Webnotebooks; I assume they are at least this quality, and they have a few more sheets in them.If you are using fountain pens, or if you just want to try a notebook/journal with some very smooth paper, give this a try. At the price I paid, these cost about 2 cents more per sheet compared to the A5 Moleskine hardcover, and the paper quality is so much better that it's well worth it.

advertised as not bleeding or showing through. definitely did both, bleed right through to the page behind it and all i did was do a light outline ( around a character. single lite pass of the pen). see attached photo. this was with noodler’s lexington grey and a medium nib that doesnt even run all that wet,.. i dont wanna return the book because i already spent a few hours writing in it with gel pen (which didnt show through at all btw but thats a gel pen).confused as other reviewers bragging about how it doesn't bleed even though it clearly does with a normally accepted ink. maybe i got a bad batch of paper i have no clue. tested the same ink/nib on regular supposedly’ inferior 82gsm bee paper company sketch paper with no bleed/show through.x2 stars because i liked everything else, the way it feels in hand, fits in my leatherbound, etc . i supposed if u were just using gel pens or regular non fancy pen ink, u might be ok but thats not how this product is advertisedupdate: x4 stars still finding myself writing in it, i do like the feel and this overall kind of softness it has. it has turned into she. she has grown on me. we might spend the day trying to figure out our issues and come out better for it,..

Love it, paper is in a good weight

Ya he comprado varios, para mí y para regalar. Hasta recibí uno como souvenir de un viajero retornante. Son preciosos. Es el regalo perfecto. También lo es un reloj, pero tendría que ser de una calidad equiparable a la que otorga Rhodia en su respectivo campo.El papel de estos cuadernos es del tipo que prefiero para escribir y hacer trazos con pluma fuente, tanto con puntos stub 1.1 como con fino y extra fino (mi favorito), mas he descubierto que para obtener mayor placer de escritura yo me decanto más por los blocks de la misma marca, porque son más cómodos y con ellos mi caligrafía resulta ser más lograda.También tengo algunos Lamy y un Moleskine, al que apodo cariñosamente Molestín. Tienen sus dotes, limitadas, en comparación.No he probado los Maruman Mnemosyne. Tal vez lo haga, en el remoto caso de que bajen de precio.

j'aime beaucoup ce carnet, à la fois pour les divers coloris proposés, la qualité du papier et la pochette à soufflet

Qualité

Para mi, las mejores libretas, me encantan su papel, es como satinado y suave, la cubierta es flexible y en general es una libreta muy gustosa.

Le design de ce carnet est élégant et sophistiqué, avec une couverture en simili cuir de haute qualité qui lui donne un aspect professionnel. La fermeture élastique permet de maintenir le carnet fermé en toute sécurité et empêche les pages de se froisser ou de se déchirer.Le papier utilisé dans ce carnet est de haute qualité, avec une texture lisse et agréable au toucher. Il est également résistant à l'encre, ce qui empêche les fuites et les bavures. Les pages sont numérotées et comportent une table des matières, ce qui facilite l'organisation et la recherche de notes.La taille A6 de ce carnet est idéale pour une utilisation quotidienne. Il est suffisamment petit pour être transporté dans une poche ou un sac, mais suffisamment grand pour contenir de nombreuses notes et idées.Le prix de ce carnet est légèrement plus élevé que celui d'autres carnets de notes, mais je pense que la qualité supérieure du papier et de la couverture en simili cuir justifie le coût supplémentaire.
