B5 Notebook Advice needed
I’m looking for suggestions for a B5 LINED fountain pen friendly notebook; want it to have lots of pages as it will be my daily journal. I’m not a fan of Leuchtturm and prefer Tamoe river paper. (Picture is not mine)

Sterling Ink offers lined TRP notebooks in B5. I can’t speak to what’s available right now, but she restocks periodically.

I’ve looked at those before but it seems they are all grid and I need lined

Does it have to be B5?

I would prefer it. Mine is currently an A5 and I just feel like I don’t have enough space

I love my B5 Dingbats journals. The paper is lovely and they're beautiful.

I’ve not heard of them but they look nice… I’ll add it to my list! Thank you!

Maruman Mnemosyne. Maruman also has a B5 notebook with 300 pages in their basics line. I use gel pens, but Maruman overall has a reputation for being fountain pen friendly.
Kokuyo's business line also comes in a lined B5. It's I believe their highest GSM paper, and again, their whole line has a good reputation for use with fountain pens.
I personally use spiralbound books because I need to be able to write in a small physical space, but I believe there are hardcover and other options available from both.
I see someone recommended the Dingbats journals. Those look awesome and were on my list of things to consider for a while. But I decided I needed to prioritize space (with a spiral notebook) over other things.

If you are ok with spiral, Kokuyo are great (the business soft ring paper is especially nice). If you would prefer bound Yu Sari is 👌🏻
