In reply to Stephanie S.. Hmmm I didn't notice that, but I tend to write with fine nibs so I may not have. Glad to hear there's heftier paper to do the trick!

I may try it out. I love my Rhodia Goalbook but I do need a blotter paper sometimes.

I carried several silver 1917s over the years at work. I liked they paper but also the way it matched my silver MacBook.

I have tried both, my personal style is for wetter pens, nibs and inks, and Leuchtturm is definitely more ghosty and bleeding than my Rhodia Webbie A5. So I stick w Rhodia.

I’ve really wanted to love the Leuchtturm notebooks, but the standard ones with 80GSM paper I have had a really hard time with bleeding and ghosting. About once a year, I get inspired to try one of the notebooks to see if anything has changed, or to try to convince myself that I had a bad experience. But I’ve been through a few now and unless they advertise a change, I won’t buy another. Now the 120GSM edition – I have tried those and LOVE them. I’ll put up with the extra weight and bulk for that experience!

I wish the Leuchtturm came in white-white, but otherwise it’s my preferred daily notebook. Good paper, and the hardcover means it holds up better than a softcover. The Rhodia paper is lovely, but the dry time can be an issue.
