MUJI Notebook A6 6mm Ruled 30sheets -books by Muji

I love these. They are like Field Notebooks, but 6mm ruled (RU/JP standards) instead of 6.4mm or 7.1mm. Also, the page size is slightly larger, matching the size of a passport booklet. Still pocket sized. The extra writing space from these two changes is exactly what I need. The binding is a stitched, single signature, with cloth spine over brown card cover. Compare to three staple and no spine reinforcement on Field Notes. These are clamped/pressed more flat, unlike the bow-out of field notes. That means they stack better in a drawer, and catch things less when sliding them into a pocket. Minor details that matter when you're being picky. Also, the price is reasonable. The five-pack of these was lower cost than the Field Note by 12%, and I don't have to deal with a neon-pink and neon-lime to get the best price. Overall, I'm very pleased with these. They are my new favorite notebook. Now, if only I could get these in 5mm lined, I would be in heaven. (Most 5mm are graph or dot.)

Fantastic little note books that fit almost anywhere. They are not too thick so I can use two or three simultaneously for different things. The binding is outstanding and the quality of the paper is wonderful. My fountain pens do not bleed through to the other side at all. You can see that there is writing on the other side, if possible it would be best to use one side only with wet ink pens. Fantastic value for outstanding note books.

The price is very high and not worth.

I started using these notebooks instead of Leuchtturm1917 after realizing the fact that I do not want to pay extra for a high quality, hard cover notebook anymore. I have been moving from country to country for sometime now, and I am more serious about keeping important things on a cloud storage. Keeping my notes, on the other hand, is something I want to keep old fashioned. The solution I find is writing my notes on a notebook, and scanning & converting the pages to text-recognized PDF at the end of each notebook. If I ever need to go back to a certain page, I find it in my cloud storage. These little guys are easier to carry. The thickness is just right. My Kaweco Sport pen clip slips easily. The page quality is better than Moleskine and slightly lower than Leuchtturm1917 if using fountain pen. The total number of pages are enough for a month's worth notes. When finished, scan, store and start a new one.

Such Great Quality! Love anything Muji
