These can also be bought from http://www.bundoki.com – I have purchased from them multiple times and shipping has always been quick (EMS) and the price a few bucks cheaper than the CA options when I checked. The site is in Japanese, but you can click on the “international order” icon on the top right to see English instructions (basically, you send them SKU/quantity/color via email, they send you a PayPal request and ship as soon as you pay). Midori stuff is the third link on the left after Rhodia and Moleskine notebooks…

Dear Leather Journals- you are too kind!! I’ve been trying to improve my writing (See Getty and Dubay), but honestly, my script needs help. Regardless, I bashfully thank you for your kind remarks!

I don’t know if that’s your handwriting in that leather journal, but it’s the perfect style of handwriting for a journal. Just thought you should know.

“[Why do so many FP users insist their Moleskines work well? They have horrible paper!] ”

Unfortunately it seems that the quality of paper used in the moleskine notebooks has taken a significant turn for the worse in recent years. Older notebooks took a FP well with no feathering or bleedthrough. My local stationery store and FP oasis has stopped carrying them for this very reason.

Oops! My bad, this JP Trading Co. only sells to retail stores, so they are basically distributors. I guess the best source would be the stores in San Francisco noted above.

One question I had about the number of pages in the notebook refills: is it 64 sheets (making 128 writing sides) or 32 sheets (to make 64 writing sides). In the U. S. manufacturers usually refer to pages, by which they mean sides, but I’ve found that in other countries, they will use “pages” to mean what we would call “sheets,” so you double the number of sheets to get the number of “sides” (or “pages”).
