How lucky is this? A friend of mine who used to have a little gift store used to carry these. She went out of business, but she put her Paperblanks journal in another store across the street. That store went out of business or closed, and they had a big sale today. She sent all of us a message that she was selling the things in her booth for half price, including the Paperblank notebooks she had left. So I went up and bought three, a mini Lindau Gospels, a large Book of Kells, and a mini Safavid, all half price.

Hi,
My friend has some more PaperBlanks journals left, which she will sell at 50% off plus shipping (though she would appreciate larger orders). Her email address is trecie2@hotmail.com
Here is a link to what she has left: http://s1369.photobucket.com/user/ro...701/slideshow/

So thanks to this thread I am also looking to buy a couple of those journals...really nice
Got all kinds of these on Amazon.
At Lady Onogaro's link, I was able to buy seven of these, all at half price! Thanks!

I have the Egrets on a Snowy Bank unlined notebook by paperblanks. There seems to be a coating on my pages that make it difficult for the ink to soak in. I wrote a line with my 1.1mm stub nib. I thought it was dry, but when I went to the next line, I noticed 2 things.
1) The ink looked like I was trying to write over waxy paper, and
2) The last word of the first line smeared, and I have no telltale ink smear on my hand
It is a beautiful journal. The attention to construction and detail is wonderful, but the paper quality makes my nose wrinkle. I was hoping to use it more than just a jotter. Oh well. My search shall continue!
Just got this one last week.
First writing samples seem quite good. I like the quality of the paper and the few pens and inks I tried give no feathering or bleedthrough or other weird behaviour.
