    Default Waterstones Brand B5 notebooks (UK) are quite good!

    Hello again,

    Waterstones B5 lined writing pads

    When I went to Waterstones (UK) to buy my ill-fated Moleskine B5 notebook for my journal (horrible). Whilst in there I impulse-bought two other cheaper Waterstones branded notebooks out of curiosity.

    Ironically they are both much better for FP use and, in my opinion are actually quite nice - definitely worth a try, hopefully people might be interested in a few notes and some evidence :

    Waterstones Black B5 soft jacket (I don't think its real leather), the cheapest one (£9.99) is actually my favourite because I like the soft jacket and the purple lining, the paper is quite resilient, no bleedthrough so far :



    The more expensive (£12.99) 'Black Linen' B5 version has a linen hard-back cover and has similar nice paper :




    If anyeones interested in my unfortunate Moleskine experience it can be found in this thread with pictures. Anyway, well done to Waterstones for making some decent pads!

    Beautiful journals! Glad you are much happier with these. I tend to avoid Moleskines for the same reasons. Wish I lived near a Waterstones! Thanks for sharing.
