Like Moleskine only way better: http://www.leuchtturm1917.com/en/content/medium-notebook I love the dotted ones. Hard to find though.

What distinguishes it from a moleskine?

Much heavier paper, less bleed-through. If they don't feather fountain pen ink badly, I may have to invest in some.

My carry-everywhere notebooks are Moleskines, mostly because I have a ton of them I got for a song on a good sale a while back. When that stash runs out I'll look for something with an equally-or-more indestructible cover and better paper inside.

At my desk, I have a pretty extensive collection of papers, but my go-to for quick brainstorming or hashing things out is a couple of Arc notebooks (Staples' in-house brand). It's easy to move the pages around, and the paper is very fountain-pen-friendly.

8.5x11 printer paper is my favorite. You can find it in any office, school, or modern home. It makes no assumptions about line direction or grid size. And with entry-level origami techniques you can reconfigure it into mobile sizes. Then, when you realize what you wrote on it wasn't actually important, you can use it as an impromptu fly-swatter or dustpan.

+1 on this notebook. i get the largest ("master") format, which can fit a full 8x11 sheet of paper in between pages.
