    Best Paper I've Ever Used!

    I write with a fountain pen, and this paper is the best. I don't have any bleeding-through the paper, and it is so smooth. It is a pleasure to write on. I won't use any other paper!

    Notebooks a great/customer service is awesome

    I bought a 4 pack of notebooks and they are fantastic. The paper is great and the quality is great. Please be aware that the planners are only 6 months, so you will need two to cover a full year. I realized this too late and Lochby sent me one on the house. Their customer service is top notch. The only modification I made was the order of the days on the monthly view. All digital calendars lay it out starting on Sunday whereas Lochby starts with Monday. I decided to white out the day headers and make them match the digital view. Other than that, these notebooks are perfect.

    Great notebooks!

    Of course these are perfect for my Lochby Field journal of which I have two.

    Really good quality paper for what ever pens you tend to use. Fountain pens for me generally.

    My biggest problem is deciding when to use ruled and when to use dot grid.

    A good bang for the buck.
