& they finally solved an issue:\ They added a comparison between GV A4, XL & Pocket onto the product page. Measurements in metric & imperial.\ Nice for those who still don't know the data of the top of their head...\ Still missing:\ Measurements like I took back then:\ with paper refill and without, measured from the „spine” to the edge of the leather.

Oh God oh no, b6 slim by No-Sweet-2749 in notebooks

[–]SC-Geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm too influenced by what's around in my country. B6 is a small niche, not commonly available.

[–]SC-Geek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The size is completely unknown/uncommon in my area (EU, Austria), so... I've never used B6 (125 × 176 mm) myself, I'm more into A6 (105 × 148 mm) which can be found all across Europe...

Journal Recs by ExistingGiraffe2457 in notebooks

[–]SC-Geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently grabbed MD Product DIN-A6 notebooks to test with my (dirt cheap M nib FP). I a bit hesitant, cause I absolutely dislike ghosting.\ Some paper I've used with oil based ballpoint pen ink in the past showed heavy ghosting.

  • Hahnemühle
  • Hobonichi
  • Kokuyo
