I wanted a larger sized notebook for creative writing, and thankfully it's the same paper, because this stuff handles wet ink like a champ. I haven't experienced bleed through, even with a wet calligraphy dip pen, and despite the bright white paper, I'm not seeing any problems with ghosting Unlike some other buyers, mine arrived safely factory wrapped with no cover damage or warping. The size is substantial and gives you a generous layout area to create on. I can see myself buying more of these as needed. I tend to stick to what I know works, and this one is sublime. Review: Rhodia vs. Moleskin - I think I love Rhodia more than is reasonable for paper products. I was lead to the Rhodia camp, away from my previously intractable allegiance to the very popular Moleskine (which has its advantages, for sure--more on that later) by my old-fashioned friends who prefer fountain pens to regular pens. The paper Rhodia makes, particular in these notebooks, is exceptionally well-suited to "grip" and really broadcast the subtlety in fountain pen inks. I have tried most Lamy inks in these notebooks, including blues, blacks, and purples, and they have great shading and consistent shine in the Rhodia, without seeping through. I think Moleskine was intended for graphite, or regular pens, despite their being the self-declared successor to those notebooks used by legendary artists. Fountain pens and Rhodia belong together. BUT WAIT. THERE's MORE. I really like that these notebooks have sturdy, but flexible spines, so that you can bend them backwards and not have to worry about staples flying out, but it will still lie flat on a desk. Because I take notebooks everywhere, this one takes quite a bit of abuse and is holding up nicely, not even discoloring around the edges or on the spine. The cover is a bit shinier than it appears in the desertcart picture, but not enough to be obnoxious. I also have the 200-page Rhodia, and the notepad, but these somewhat shorter (96 pages) and slimmer notebooks are my favorite for conferences, seminars, and lab note-taking. Overall, a great product for the paper/pen hobbyist, and for general use! ## Features - 14.8x21cm - 96 pages - Stapled - 0.3 inch (80 mm) horizontal ruling ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008UGFOAC | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,400 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #94 in Subject Notebooks | | Binding | Office Product | | Brand Name | Rhodia | | Color | Black | | Cover Material | Leatherette | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,147) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03037921191897 | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 8.27"L x 5.83"W x 0.24"Th | | Item Type Name | 6 X8 ΒΌ | | Item Weight | 135 Grams | | Manufacturer | Exaclair GmbH | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Sections | 1 | | Pages | 96 | | Paper Size | A5 | | Pattern | Liniert | | Ruling Type | Ruled | | Special Features | Waterproof | | Style | Lined | | Theme | Plain | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Rhodia - **Color:** Black - **Cover Material:** Leatherette - **Pages:** 96 - **Product Dimensions:** 8.27"L x 5.83"W x 0.24"Th - **Ruling Type:** Ruled - **Sheet Size:** A5 - **Special Feature:** Waterproof - **Style:** Lined - **Theme:** Plain ## Images ![cf119189 Stapled Notebook, A5, Classic Rule, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aGpz0KXcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fountain pen friendly! *by J***O on June 30, 2025* Purchased based on performance of another Rhodia dot pad that I use exclusively for testing inks and pens.

Pen & ink and water based markers' friend. πŸ‘πŸ˜ *by W***D on December 8, 2019* If you read the header, that says it all. This paper takes most pens, inks, water based markers, even paint markers in many cases with no bleed through, show through, or ghosting. Also most of these items don't feather or skip much on this paper. One will probably notice that the lines of their mediums appear thinner on this paper. That's because of its special coating. It takes pencil and dry mediums well too. I wouldn't expect to get a lot of layers with dry mediums. But one can use some mixed media. It takes erasing pretty well. I've had no issues with my pens and markers, gel inks, highlighters, liquid inks, correction fluids etc. They all interact nicely with this paper. I'd say the only things that'd cause issues are alcohol inks and markers and the heaviest juiciest inks and mediums. This is another variation of the popular A5 notebooks people drool over. It's sturdy yet flexible. The protective cover is nice. It looks great and feels great in the hands. I highly recommend Rhodia products to journalists, artists anyone. πŸ˜€ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/77012147-cf119189-stapled-notebook-a5-classic-rule-black](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/77012147-cf119189-stapled-notebook-a5-classic-rule-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
