In Sweden, one could get notebooks with such paper in most department stores: https://www.clasohlson.com/se/Kollegieblock-Whitelines-A4-linjerat/p/Pr442670001 You should give it a try to replace a SparkFun notebook. There are also similar notebooks, some in better binding on Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/Dennison-Zweckform-7021-Notebook-Flexible/dp/B005OH1OWM</p> <p>P.S. OpenID login, what a blast from the past!</p> https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2022/04/30/ive-used-all-the-notebooks/comment_2_732786ab90398f964e85e9f09db415b0/ Chris Drost 2022-06-02T06:03:22Z 2022-06-02T06:03:22Z <p>Looks like you’re with me on A5s. 🍻</p> <p>Agree on the Leuchtturm1917, five stars, but originally found the dots a little too dark and distracting… Needs a thicker pen. Sharpie makes some great felt tips pens (not their markers, their pens) that get that bolder look which makes it tolerable.</p> <p>Honestly my go-tos are hard to find in the USA. “Oxford Office A5.” They come in fun colors, they <em>are</em> lined which may not be your thing, they are some of the only wirebound journals (lays flat!! Huge for playing guitar lol) that are NOT perforated (fuck perforations God made scissors for a reason) and don’t lose their wire shape and become unusable. I have <em>one</em> notebook from them which did but the story is just funny: I had drawn out plans for the bedframe that’s now in our bedroom sketched out on one page, went to Home Depot to buy the lumber, put the notepad on top of the car then left it there like a coffee cup. The next day I realize I don’t have the plans and go back and eventually find that bright blue blob in the middle of the street, tire marks on it, rainsoaked… Still worked but didn’t open so smoothly, hehehe. But it damn well held together and I copied my plans to another book and got that thing built.</p> <p>Don’t know why I felt the need to comment, guess I just detected a kindred spirit.</p>
