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?

Right now I’ve got a Leuchtturm1917 A5 dot grid as my Bullet Journal, a Midori MD A5 graph for my journal journal, a Top Flight A5 dot grid as my Commonplace Book, and a no-name daily planner for my work notes. The Leuchtturm has a few minor issues with ghosting if I’m not careful. The Top Flight isn’t that great for fountain pens, but it was cheap at the grocery store. I only use my fine nibs on it. I do most of my correspondence on either Tomoe River A5 or Clairefontaine A4.
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.
