Reviews

My favorite journal for years

"Notabilia notebooks have been my preferred personal journals for years. The binding and paper quality is superb and the paper is just right for my fountain pen, hardly ever any bleeding unless the nib I use tends to be more wet. These are the journals I ask my student to order for their journal writing classes."

Daniel C. (5/5)

No Longer Dependable

"Levenger was my Go To for many years. My laat few orders took way too long to arrive. If something is back ordered, please make that obvious. Don’t tell me after the fact. Took two months for notebooks I needed the following week."

Ruth G. (2/5)

Best Notebook Ever

"This is my favorite notebook. My pen love the smoothness of the paper, the pages are opaque without being heavy, and the notebook stands up to any abuse you might inflict--rain, coffee stains, and even bad writing."

Margo (5/5)

Good quality notebooks!

"I've used these Notabilia notebooks for years with a nice, leather cover. The paper is high quality, supporting both fountain pen and ball point writing on both sides."

Notabilia Notebooks

Gopal V. (5/5)

Not the easiest website to order from

"I had to contact customer support twice to help find what I was looking for and to be sure I was finding and ordering the right product. Then. . . It did not make ordering several of the refills easy. It didn't ask or give me the options of simply telling it I wanted 5 sets of 2. Just a thought about how to make it easy for your customers to buy more stuff. I really like the products. It's the ordering experience I find tedious."

Cover for Notebook

"The notebooks are great! Excellent paper. The pad to place them in are just to heavy. I've had mine for years and will now sop using it. I've seen very light paper feel leather that would work really well with this notebook. Need to come up with a better cover. I will stop using mine for now and see how it works out for me without it."

Roberto S. (5/5)

My experience so far.

"I like the size and layout of these notebooks, and can see the value of having several to use for different purposes. I find that they do not take fountain pen ink well, though: the paper absorbs too much ink and bleeds through. But with mechanical pencil it is excellent: both sides of the paper can easily be utilized, though I prefer to use only one."

Mark M. (4/5)

"I really like these notebooks because the paper is smooth and handles fountain pen ink without bleeding through. Pleasure to write on this surface!"

Q&A

I'm looking for the Notabilia with just straight lines across, with no perpendicular lines going from top to bottom on the side.
Unfortunately, we do not offer the notabilia Notebooks without the margin line.
Your site indicates these binders / tablets are 10" tall (item #ADS1880). However, the one in my hand is 10 1/4" (10.25"). For clarity, what is the typical size?
The typical size of the notabilia notebooks are 10" tall.
Is the paper suitable for the use of a fountain pen???
These are not fountain pen friendly.
Can you please consider adding more paper choices for your Stanley and Notabilia journals? I love the paper quality, but would like to be able to choose grid (especially), dot grid, or plain as well as lined. Thanks
Ill be sure to bring your suggestion to our merchandising team!
What is the line spacing on these notebooks? Thank you!
Line spacing is 5/16’’ each
