Fabriano Ecoqua A5 Notebook Ruled 140 Pages  (Green)

It is very difficult to find good quality paper in India to be more specific in Chandigarh especially for fountain pen users. The best quality paper that is available is Bilt or Papercraft (ITC). But most of notebooks from these brands come in 70 or 75 GSM and gives feathering problem or bleed through problem. Fabriano Ecoqua may not be as smooth as coated paper but free from both problems. But recently, I bought Bilt Premium Executive Series Hardbound in PU Leather notebook which is very go...

Fabriano is a company I heard from a friend outside India. This Italian brand is known for making good quality books. Splendid Black cover, stainless steel bind goes just perfectly with each other. A bit on the expensive side, there are really good alternates to this by Indian manufacturers like Solo, but they all lack the panache of a brilliant notebook.

140 Pages, 85 gsm, brilliant quality, bloat free with fountain pens, perfect for the special notes you'll make.

VERDICT: 4/5 stars. Lose...

The notebook really catches your eye with its bright cover. The paper quality is excellent. It is a soft white color and has light grey dots. There is no bleeding and very little see through when writing. However, it is glue bound and hence more useful for work notes or letters. Do not plan to use it if you want to keep the pages together for a long time.

This is a nice premium product that I feel will work well on extended use over say a year. The paper quality is good. The Cover is excellent. It is as advertised in the sales material.

Great paper quality, with an off white tinge. The spiral binding is ok. Overall its great for making notes or drafting or just about any intensive writing work. Cannot be used as a scribble pad, since the paper is too good to be thrown away. I used a lot of highlighter on the written material and as expected, there was no blotting or show through on the other side.
Great for serious preserved writing. Not just a notebook, but a very classy (and expensive!) writing platform.
The best e-commer...

Ordered on Monday, delivered by Flipkart on Wednesday...shoutout to Flipkart for that, damn neat guys.
The notepad is soft bound ( which I knew) meaning its soft cover with glue binding on the side. When you open the notepad it opens like a book with neat folding along the crease and also makes tearing papers (when you want to hand out as notes) easy. The cover is smooth black with the Fabriano branding in silver, it looks very slick. Papers are nice and heavy with brilliant ink surface abso...
