📝🖋 Recommendations for a firm top-bound notebook that is B5 or A5 or smaller?

“Firm” meaning I can write on it w/o a hard surface like a desk.

Preferably something where I can write on both sides of the paper (unless this means a spiral-bound format that does not hold up).

@toddgrotenhuis two options off the top: Write Notepads and Rhodia. Write are made in Baltimore and they do a reporters-style version. I love their paper, personally. And Rhodia is…Rhodia. Everything I’ve ever used of theirs is awesome, and they do several options including both sizes you mention in top spiral-bound with a rigid back board.

@toddgrotenhuis check out Franklin-Christoph’s Firmaflex notebooks.

@sgtstretch I’m only seeing side-bound in my searches. Do you have a link for top-bound/steno/reporter style?

@toddgrotenhuis looks like they changed the name of them. They are Grey Pads now.

@sgtstretch thanks!

@toddgrotenhuis something like this? www.cultpens.com/i/q/LC953...

@vatark sorry, no. Looking for top-bound, not side-bound. They do make a pocket sized one, but I’m probably going after something in A5, A6, B5, B6 range.

@cygnoir Thanks! Do you find the rings stand up (and aligned) pretty well ever time?

@toddgrotenhuis Yes! Mine looks barely used, in my opinion. Great quality.

@cygnoir Awesome, glad to hear!
