The book was beyond my expectations. I love the Mitsubishi books but this one was really smooth.
The notebook looks and feels great! The only thing that can be improved is the bookmark ribbon. It feels very wirey and is too long, which allows it to snag on things and is already becoming frayed on the end only a couple weeks into daily use. This is a very small nitpick though, and this notebook is overall leaps & bounds better than others that I’ve used in the past. I will definitely be getting more!
Excellent product and very fast shipping!
This notebook is beautifully crafted! I'm particularly impressed with the quality of the binding and covers. The included blotting sheet is a handy addition, especially for quick writing sessions.
The Passepied paper is excellent. As it's uncoated, it's not sensitive to finger oils, unlike Cosmo Air Light. While it showcases ink shading and sheen well, it doesn't quite reach the level of Cosmo Air Light in that regard.
I do wish Passepied paper were more readily available as loose sheets. My only concern is the future availability of notebooks with this paper, as it seems to be exclusive to the Paper Mind.
Overall, I love this notebook and highly recommend it to fellow fountain pen enthusiasts.
I love bank paper, so I thought I would give this Passepied paper a try, and I am very happy I did. Absolutely amazing writing feel. Handles ink qualities great and the notebook quality is top notch. An exceptional product worth every penny. I'll be reordering.
