Pros & Cons
Pros
Clairefontaine notebooks are a favorite of mine for years. The spiral notebook is the first i've purchased that is higher quality than a grade school mead notebook. Irl notepad is the only notepad i use.
Smooth, no bleeding, no ghosting, and really makes writing such a pleasure. The quality of this paper is unmatched.
Clairefontaine is the best paper for fountain pens! It's thick so i can easily turn pages and write well with a fountain pen without the ink leaking.
Cons
The image and title is deceiving as there are four notebooks pictured and the title says “notebooks”. The listing says notebooks plural. The description says assorted notebooks - in plural.
Love the brand's paper, but this has been misrepresented. The poor review is for a description that is certainly deceptive, whether intentional or not. Save your money and go to a stationary or fountain pen seller instead.

A bit pricey but worth it for fountain pen use
Shipping
Arrived as promised always order from this merchant
The notebook is fantastic but it arrived damaged because it was shipped in a regular soft plastic amazon envelop
Packaging/appearance
And yeah as other reviewers have mentioned putting the notebook loose into an amazon envelope does not protect the corners
I just received this item today and the packaging was very subpar
Because the notebook had zero packaging and was just loose in the box with other items and the listing is misleading
Competitiveness
I may seem like a weird student to all my friends in college but this textbook has always been better than american gridded textbooks haha
After buying different expensive brands i went back to these cf notebooks for value
Its not enough to really interfere with writing on the other side but its noticeably more than on maruman paper which by compar... Read More
I was surprised to see that a4 is actually larger than the american standard which must be more like b5 then
