Paper Shopping

Clockwise:
1. Black Moleskine Volant. I don't intend to use this until I have finished the first draft of my three volume epic novel.
2. New! Maruman's Mnemosyne range. I highly recommend this for fountain pen writers. Paper is silky smooth! Be wary of wet writers - with a sailor music nib, paper shows signficant bleeding from the back of the page, oddly not the front. One of my 'noiser' Pelikan feels quite smooth on this paper. (See 6)
3. Apica Personal range. Highly recommended as well. While Mnemosyne is obviously better, I prefer this notebook because of the slightly thicker paper. I'm waiting for Kinokuniya to restock this item. I need more. (See 5)
4. New! Rhodia Spiral Top. I much prefer the spiral bound than the stapled tablet as it allows me to flip over. The stapled tablet demands to be torn out after use. My work notebook.
5. My gorgeous renaissance-art custom cover for the Apica notebook in #3. My aunt gave it as an early birthday present. I'm very pleased with it. Highly recommended!
6. The inside of the Today Act notebook. Has a very useful to-do check box.

Hello! A fellow paper lover (and fountain pen user) here. Can you tell me where to purchase the Maruman's Mnemosyne you mention in your blog? Thanks
