Clairefontaine - Ref 4880Z - Europa Wirebound Major Pad Notepad (300 Pages) - 20.7 x 12.7cm, Lined Rulings, Premium Pressboard Cover - Assorted Colours (Pack of 10)

Delivery was prompt. The note pads were exactly what I wanted and at a good price.

I've used these pads for years. I am an author so I use Euopa Major reporter pads on a daily basis to jot down all sorts of ideas. I also practice shorthand daily, so go through quite a few notebooks a year. I was saddened to learn that Tollit and Harvey, the manufacturers, had been bought out by the French stationery giants, Clairfontaine.The paper in them is no longer the warm toned, slightly toothy, pale blue lined stuff I've become attached to. It is now Clairfontaine's standard cold, greyish-blue paper with purple lines. The paper is glazed, and slick. It takes a while for fountain pen ink to dry on it. On the whole, the Clairfontaine paper is reputed to be much better quality. But like all products produced by a large conglomerate, the 'soul' has gone out of the pad, hence the three star rating.I have three left of the old versions, and I'll be really sad when the last one is full.

Not quite what was advertised... had one of the Europa Major pads before and it was really nice to write in, so wanted to buy in bulk... the notebooks that came weren't the ones in the picture, but unbranded versions with less good quality paper. Wouldn't have minded so much if they hadn't been misadvertised.

Perfect little gem (especially if you live in France and it's square-ruled notebooks). Easily held in one hand while walking around and interviewing people. The elastic-band provides a simple and effective for holding up specific sheets. The circular wire bounds are large enough to fit a pen. All in all, a prime product (and that's someone who has used electronic ink and e-pen technologies).

Excellent product. I have been looking for this notepad for a while and was delighted when I saw them at the price.

Top notch product and awesome service.

Happy with product - one I order on a regular basis.

Have used them for years as a daily notebook. The paper quality and no. of pages makes them ideal for my use.
