I see that isellpens.com is selling TWSBI notebooks. Does anyone have any experience with these? I would imagine they would be good with fountain pens, but I'd like to hear from users. They seem pretty affordable compared to the notebooks made with Tomoe River paper. I would love to hear from folks who have compared them.

Haven't tried with my broads or stub yet. But no bleed though even with flexy wahl oxford. Some minor show through but that's standard for most paper. Next time I am inking up I will pull out a broad

I've been using the large TWSBI notebooks as I really like the B5 size. Moleskine-style notebooks with fountain pen-friendly paper in B5 are difficult to find. The paper is pretty good even with broad nibs. I haven't seen any feathering or bleed-through. There's a bit of shadowing but both sides of the paper are usable. My only complaint is that the elastic band is a bit loose (read: floppy). Other than that, I'd like to see a dot grid version, but overall I've been mostly happy with the TWSBI notebooks.

I second the loose band

I was pretty disappointed with mine. The paper was okay but nothing special. The quality of the notebook was pretty poor. The band was loose from the start, the binding started to separate quickly. I love TWSBI pens and had high expectations for the notebooks. Sadly, I won't be buying again.
