Office Supply Geek reviews the Webnotebook
A closer look at the new Rhodia Webnotebook by the Offce Supply Geek.
“When I cracked it open and felt the paper, I could immediately feel the difference between the paper in this and my old version. I was excited to try writing in this notebook because I knew that if I could feel the difference with my fingers, that the difference would be just as noticeable when I started writing with my fountain pens on the smooth surface. Sure enough, as soon as pen nib hit paper I was impressed with the way the nib would move across the paper with such ease and smoothness…”
(Thanks Max!)
