Rhodia A5+ Meeting Book

In this video I take a look at the features of the Rhodia A5+ Meeting Book. I also do a pen and pencil test and discuss some miscommunication regarding the paper.
Note:
I should have mentioned that
- the pages are perforated
- the gel pens took much longer to dry than the fountain pens.
Corrections:
The pencils that I use in the writing sample are
- TWSBI Precision Pencil 0.5
- Retro 51 Hex-o-matic 0.7
(I spelled both of them wrong in the writing sample)
The meeting books with paper covers are more expensive than those with plastic covers.
I like the Rhodia Ice paper better for pencils than the paper in this meeting book (they seem to use the same paper, so it could just be in my head).

I hadn't thought about using a meeting notebook in church, but I see your point. I do think it would work well.
I don't like Tomoe 52gsm at all. The show through makes it a waste for me. But Tomoe 68gsm is about as good as it gets. But Rhodia is also excellent paper, and the cost makes it my number one choice.
I really like the side wirebound A4+ notebooks. They're about eleven dollars each, but I can often get three for twenty-four dollars at a local art store, and that's a steal.
But Rhodia also makes a black side staplebound that's A4 size, and I find these excellent for more disposable projects notes and the like. They're five for thirty-five dollars on Amazon, and while each has only 48 sheets, I find them prefect for many things.
Anyway, Rhodia is my paper of choice, but more and more brands are coming out of Japan that are great. China, too, is now offering excellent fountain pen friendly paper at very low cost. Most of this is completely unbranded, there isn't even a bar code on the covers, or a single word of writing, and it's primarily sold through Walmart. The lack of branding makes it difficult to find, and almost impossible to tell anyone about.
But it comes in three styles of notebooks, and it really is wonderful. It's very slick, and note even a Sharpie bleeds through. And it costs about a third what Rhodia does. There are even composition notebooks, also unbranded, made from this paper that cost ninety-nine cents each. It's amazing.
So it pays to shop arounmd a bit, and try anything new. With some experience, you can often teel good paper just by feel.

I have noticed that more and more of my students' homework papers perform well with fountain pens. Looks like I need to check out the notebooks at Wal-Mart.
