Heya everybody I am completely new to this site. How's everyone doing today? I really like it here! I hope to learn a lot maybe make a few new buddies! :)

HI! I remember someone wanting a skinny 3 ring classic size notebook. They have some on ebay that look good. Nothing fancy, but okay. Just enter this number in the search field,
140330923763. I believe they are 5/8 rings, maybe 1/2.

A warm greeting to everybody!
Hello to all,i am a new member of this discussion board and hope to have a good experience here.

In the 2010 Clairefontaine catalogue, I saw notebooks with rings that look like Circa/Rollabind/Myndology.

However, the rings seem to come only in one size and there is no punch to be seen.

Clairefontaine wants to sell their wonderful fountain pen friendly paper.

That line is called "Clairing" is 210 by 297 millimeters (A4 or letter size), has 144 pages and comes in brown, dark blue, dark teal and black.
It is a notebook and comes in various ruling.

They also have a 165 by 210 millimeter (A5 or junior size) Clairing notebook availabe in red, sapphire blue, light purple and light green with 144 pages.

They also have the same sizes of notebooks in their Color Collection the covers are translucent plastic in yellow, orange, spring green, pink and blue and the rings are white.

(the catalogue is extremely hard to navigate, thus, really annoying, their "English version" is one line written in light orange inside the French catalogue, it is too light, in too small a font to read)

I thought I save you the trouble of navigating it.

The bilingual French/English 2010 catalogue shows what is available in France and most of Europe.

If you want to be able to buy the Clairefontaine line of notebook and pads with rings, in the U.S.

Go to Rhodiadrive dot com and tell Exaclair, the U.S distributor of Clairefontaine and Rhodia, that you want these items.

According to the person who runs the blog, a big shipment of new products will be transported by boat, to the U.S, in the Spring.

I am not affiliated with Rhodia/Clairefontaine in any way.

But being French born, I have used a number of their products during my school days, the paper is the best for fountain pen and pencil use.

I've read lots of places the claim that there is a difference between the way the human mind processes the printed word and words on a screen.

I'm wondering whether there's any research on the subject. My initial search hasn't been very fruitful. This is not particularly important. I just know that I find it harder to skim for relevant text when I'm reading on the computer, and am wondering whether this is just a matter of learned habits, or something neuroscience-y.

I just found this forum and I must say that I'm glad I did. I hope to bring something to the community as I have already found some interesting topics.

Hailing from the Dirty South (United States for those that don' know).

I noted that others have said this is available at Office Depot. It is also at Staples www.staples.com . I got the smaller size 3.5 x 5.75". In the store additional colors are available, I got the Muted green, as well as a second gray one. I love the idea of the "book-by-book" to be able to change them up.

I got both the monthly calendar - 2 months per booklet, 6 booklets in the set. I also got the Yearly calendar - all in one booklet. The smaller size holds 3 32-page booklets (16 pages folded). I put the yearly calendar in front, and the monthly in back. In the middle I took the staples out of the lined and the plain page and put a few of the plain pages behind the ruled page. This is the one I use for scheduling, notes, information.

The second gray x17 I put 2 ruled and one blank page booklets for my prayer book. With the rubbers holding the book you do not need to have the staple. I also messed up some pages and ended tearing them out (they have a tear column), and then taped in another page. This was easy. This size fits in my hands perfectly, feels good when I am praying.

I added a credit card holder by slipping it under the rubbers. I also added (by cutting down some daytimer vinyl products) clear page holders. I cut the ring section off and glued to the front and back to make pockets. Also added ribbon holders by taping to the top front page of the booklet and then folding down where I wanted the ribbon to lay. It is sooooo much better without the rings. It is possible to put rubber bands thru the 1/2 moon openings at the top and bottom if you wanted to add a smaller booklet. You could use 2 in each 1/2 moon opening if you were using thinner booklets but you wanted different subjects.

My problem is now I have changed the purse I am using, I want to change the covers. On the original website www.myx17.com they show 14 different colors. They have both purple-lila and dark purple-dunkellila in the HARDSKIN-polypropylen cover/envelope.

Googled exchange rate EUROS to dollars and came up with 1 EUR - 1.3538 as of today. See www.dollars2euro.com

Oh I found on their website where you can by the "elastiX" separately - 3 for 2.55 EUR which today costs $3.45. Unfortunately today their "EN" translated site is not functioning.
I think I will email them and see if they can sell me just the covers.

I was browsing for inspiration and useable pages and stumbled on to this site: It's A New Day. The pages are adorable and I thought I'd share them.

One of my all-time favorites is Ahhh Design, Amanda Hawkins. Her pages are so divine!

Anyone else know of a source of great templates?

Hi, I run www.zill.net and we provide the server for Doug that this site runs on.

I made some tweaks after noticing slowness and getting alerts from our monitoring software about it.

Is the site now faster for you? I made the change early in the morning Monday, Feb 1.
