Adding to the above:
I used to be on Moleskine, but sadly their quality declined and they added a bewildering array of products that makes me question their focus on just making a quality notebook.
I have tried Japanese notebooks, and the paper quality is really excellent. However, I haven't found a hard-back Japanese notebook. Getting the soft cover notebook all dinged up isn't atheistically acceptable for me.
I have tried out blank pages, lined, graph, and dotted grids. Dotted grids work the best for me - less constraining than lines, but I'm not neat enough to use blank pages, and graph paper is a little too much visually.
- Whirl 7y agoHave you tried the Maruman ‘Mnemosyne’ notebooks? They have (thin) hard plastic covers, but I’m not sure if you’d count that as a hardcover. I really like my TWSBI Diamond 580 with Noodler’s Walnut, but it looks best on yellow paper. I tried a jade green ink but it mostly seemed to clog up my pens. One day I’ll start digitizing my handwritten notes, but I usually write stuff down to make sure I’ll remember and almost never refer to precious notes.
- idoh 7y agoNever tried them, will look into them. Thanks for the tip! A while back I figured that I like writing in the books, but rarely use them for reference. So I just get rid of them after a while. I think it is OK for things to be ephemeral.
