For me, I'd guess at least 50 lbs though.Azizah Asgaralihttp://www.gourmetpens.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484890041572022255.post-53444061989830451972015-03-19T17:01:07.608-04:002015-03-19T17:01:07.608-04:00Ahhh thank you for pointing that out!!

(Also, thank you for being nice about it, I really appreciate that).<br /><br />I agree with that author... that's kind of what I was trying to say but probably wasn't so eloquent about it. If it's meant to be carried, you want it to dry faster, right? <br /><br /><br />Smile away. I prefer that to the alternative :)Azizah Asgaralihttp://www.gourmetpens.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484890041572022255.post-19929433648242145332015-03-19T16:41:25.217-04:002015-03-19T16:41:25.217-04:00Awesome review :)

In this sense, "nicer", coated paper isn't very practical, as the ink will take much longer to dry and will smear/stamp when the notebook is closed. <br /><br />So in that sense, these Dot Dash notebooks could be seen as fountain pen friendly :)<br /><br />(Sorry for all the smiling ;)Justinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484890041572022255.post-79002594703973480742015-02-15T09:47:00.759-05:002015-02-15T09:47:00.759-05:00Is there an optimal paper weight for pocket notebo...Is there an optimal paper weight for pocket notebooks?Michaelnoreply@blogger.com
