1. The Highest Quality Notebook Around

   Posted by Audrey on 26th Jan 2019

   I was actually looking for a full B6 size Tomoe River paper notebook, and I caved and bought one of these instead. I even found the elusize B6 size, but then I picked up one of my Seven Seas Writers and knew I had to get a Cafe Note instead. The binding of these notebooks is absolutely incredible, it allows the book to lay flat but it’s also super strong so these notebooks will last forever. Of course the paper quality is insane-I can’t journal on anything but Tomoe River paper anymore, it’s way too amazing for fountain pens. It takes all nib sizes no matter how broad, and all inks no matter how wet. If you’re thinking about it, this is the best notebook you can get, and it’s a great value for the amount of quality paper you get.

2. Stellar, Perfect B6

   Posted by Robert Vesely on 11th Jan 2019

   This is a perfectly made B6 notebook. That simple.
   I love the Writer, but The B6 Slim is great as well and there is nothing I would change about this notebook.
   
   The Build is sturdy: it holds up over time and use.
   The functionality is optimal lying flat with the best paper on the market. The Blue Dotted lines are great and I love the White Paper.
   The blank cover compliments the elegance beautifully welcoming an individual and personal feel no other notebook gives.
   
   I like how it is slimmer for better portability while still providing 384 pages!

3. Perfect Portable Notebook

   Posted by jmbowler on 14th Dec 2018

   I’m completely in love with this notebook. It is the perfect size to take with you for writing on the go. I wouldn’t change a single thing! The lovely white Tomoe River paper is perfect as always, and the barely-there lines are just enough to keep my penmanship nice and even. I will absolutely purchase more of these in the future.

4. Excellent, but I wish it were 6mm ruling instead of 7mm

   Posted by Jamm on 5th Dec 2018

   I can't really fault the product since I knew what I was getting into, but I really wish it had a 6mm ruling instead of 7mm. OR, I'd also be very happy if they got rid of those annoying boxes in the B6 slim grid version (like they did on the new Cafe Note A6 and Studio Note A5)!
   
   Both of these B6 slim notebooks are so good, but just not quite perfect in terms of ruling or grid for me. I would buy many, many more if those two changes were made. BTW, Dave: initially those boxes in the grid version did not bother me too much and I gave the grid version a stellar review... but I don't know how to edit my review over on the grid version because I would change my review a bit... Over time, those boxes have become increasingly annoying. So that's why I'm leaving a note about the grid version here too. Hope you consider some changes for v2!
   
   But again, it's not like I was surprised by the 7mm ruling or the annoying grid boxes -- that's clearly shown in the specs and photos. So besides those personal issues, I will still give both notebooks 5 stars. Dave/Nanami has produced an excellent balance of page size and page count with the B6 slim, and you can't go wrong with the paper and build quality of these notebooks. I like the overall format so much I even bought the Gfeller cover, and had a custom wallet made by another leather craftsman.
   
   Just great. (Except for the 7mm and grid boxes!) :-)

5. Great little book

   Posted by Casey on 3rd Dec 2018

   This book is the perfect size with the perfect paper. It is perfectly put together. This is my second B6 slim book from this company, and they have both been great. Thank you to Nanami for also adding in a blotter page. I really appreciate the focus on detail from this company.

6. Almost perfect notebook

   Posted by Liz on 27th Nov 2018

   This is a brilliant brilliant notebook. I am a fan of the seven seas A5 - but they are a bit too much to carry around sometimes. The cafe B6 is a perfect 'on the move' notebook to cart around work and meetings etc.
   
   (PS - if you read these comments, my dream notebooks are an A5 sepia writer but at half thickness and/or a cafe crossfield / dot-grid)

7. white paper, blue ruling, old school goodness

   Posted by lils on 20th Oct 2018

   I wasn't sure I would like the blue ruling but in fact I really love it. I would love it with a subtle gray ruling too but the blue here (which reminds me of a washed-out Diamine China Blue) is pencil boxes, weird school paste, rain slickers, and everything wonderfully nostalgic. Such a pleasure to write in this.
   
   And so happy it comes in white TR! A B6 slim in white 52 TR. The search is over. Thank you.

8. B6 Slim Note Book insert

   Posted by Patricia Cathey on 21st Aug 2018

   This is an awesome product and works perfectly with my leather binder.

9. Great quality notebook.

   Posted by Silv on 23rd Jul 2018

   Many have imitated your product but nothing compares to the quality of the binding that you present. 6 - 8 months of everyday use and it doesn’t fall apart. Even the cover which doesn’t appear to be durable is a winner, with only minor scratches showing up near the top and bottom of the spine. Keep doing what you are doing.

10. perfect

    Posted by Tammara D Liberty on 22nd Jul 2018

    This is the perfect size to fit into my B6 traveler's notebook . I use it for journaling on the go. Tomoe river paper will always be my favorite.
