We talk about writing instruments a lot, but equally important is the paper and related bits.

So tell us, what paper do you use? Do you use any cover/case for your notebook?

I see these leuchtturm1917 journals in book shops on the UK.

They look nice, but are always priced about £25. Do you reckon it's worth it?

I usually spent £5-10 on a basic a5 notebook with rhodia or clairefontaine paper. Maybe I'm just cheap.

TBF Rhodia and Clairefontaine (same company now) make excellent paper.

I almost exclusively buy A5 Rhodia dotpads.

Honestly, this is probably the first and last Leuchtturm I'll buy. The Midori MDs have fewer pages than a lot of other A5 notebooks, but they are also so much cheaper.
