My Favorite Notebook

I’m raving about my favorite notebook, disappointed that they don’t make it anymore.

I’m posting this in the hopes that someone can help to point me in the right direction. I contacted the manufacturer, M. Roger’s Press , because their website no longer lists these, but they never replied. I’ve done all this because I loved that notebook so much and I want another one. Notebook obsession does strike the unsuspecting writer from time to time , so I feel a little comforted knowing that I’m not alone.

My favorite notebook is a hardbound book, with a cloth covering. The spine is sewn such that the open book lays very flat. The paper is smooth and thick and white. It has acid-free paper that does not bleed through when I use a good pen. The paper is narrow ruled (1/4 in (6.35 mm) spacing between ruling lines), with no vertical margin line. It measures 8" wide by 10.5" high and 1" thick. I love every one of these features, but sadly I can’t find a replacement that has them all.

This is my favorite notebook.
