I've been using Moleskine notebooks for the last few years and loved them, but I have had people tell me they are overpriced in light of the quality. I never had an issue with Moleskines until I started using fountain pens--this is where paper is put to the test. I've tried three different types of Moleskine with fountain pens, and the paper is totally different. But unless you are using the Cahier notebooks, with fountain pens (or anything else that writes very wet), you are going to experience scratchiness, tons of ghosting, and/or a fair amount of bleeding.With Rhodia, you pretty much know what you are getting. All of their products have one of two weights of paper. Both are heavy, very smooth, and pretty ink-resistant. I love this paper.As for this notebook in particular: the cover has a nice leather-like look and feel (better than the leatherette Moleskines). The spine is a little lumpy, but nothing I can't live with. I have note used the hardcover Webnotebooks; I assume they are at least this quality, and they have a few more sheets in them.If you are using fountain pens, or if you just want to try a notebook/journal with some very smooth paper, give this a try. At the price I paid, these cost about 2 cents more per sheet compared to the A5 Moleskine hardcover, and the paper quality is so much better that it's well worth it.
