This is one of the two notebooks I always carry. I write in it with my Pelikan M1000 M Nib without any problem (on both sides). And I carry an Moleskine Volant in a leather cover. The last one is more for shopping list and if I have to tear any paper out of the Smythson. Greetings from The Netherlands.
The Smythson is 100% my favourite I don’t use them nearly as much is i would like, Ive just picketed up some sIlivine pockets for the same shopping list idea and tear out pages :)
Smythson notebooks are superb quality notebooks that are really great for journaling and diary. They are easy to store/archive and can become of a great sentimental value for your children and grandkids one day. But maybe I am just biased because I LOVE leather notebooks
Thank you. Yeah the price is high but the calf leather really makes it feel great and the paper is excellent with all the pens I've tested. I think once I get my head around the cost and treat it as a tool I'll be golden 🤣 I've spent £60+ on screwdrivers and I can get them for £2 in the shops 🤣
I think that Chelsea notebook is a B6 size (midway between an A5 and A6). The official B6 dimensions are apparently 125 × 176 mm (4.9 × 6.9 in), which isn't exactly the size you gave, but it seems pretty close.
@@manvstationery - heh - planner addict (or at least enthusiast ;-) ) since 2017 here, and planners/notebooks probably count as a special interest for me. Along the journey, I've learned a whole LOAD of obscure notebook sizes.
