Agree these are excellent notebooks. I just bought a beautiful brown one at a Mont Blanc boutique for $65. My 1950s 146 writes beautifully on the paper. No bleed through or feathering. The ink color comes across more vividly than I've experienced when writing on other fountain-pen-friendly paper, particularly stationary.
Very nice, exudes luxury indeed. It might be cheaper to actually write on real money instead of this notebook however, lol.But at more than a hundred dollars US, I expect it to sing and dance as well. Excellent review as usual.
After a quick test, we have found money to not be fountain pen friendly. Plus there isn't much blank space for actual writing. Mr. Paper does not endorse using money as stationery. ;) :)
Nice review! I was very disappointed that the ink bled through. Is there a notebook out there that doesn’t allow that? I have a variety of pens and was highly disappointed. My vision is not that great but I could see the ink pretty good.
Why would anyone buy this? For 20-30 you have way better paper and for another 70 you have a reusable leather cover. Montblanc is to stationary what Bose is to audio.
Do they have newer notebooks with more pages in the 149 or 146 size? I like the notebook to last 6 to 12 months with some daily use I like to have 180 or more pages.
Great review ! I have this notebook. I love it but it is not fountain pen friendly. Not all inks bleed but many do. (I only tested with montblanc ink).
@@isaacs2539 this is probably the dumbest thing i have ever read if its not meant to be ironic. Im not a vegan, but how are you going to compare a living sentient being to a plant?
@@thatxonexguy5438 Don't be silly. If you took your Biology lessons seriously and are abreast of current research findings, you would have known that plants are also sentient.
nice presentation but Mont Blanc is prononce Mon Blan, the t and the c are mute
Branding ... on every single page! That is annoying in otherwise fine notebooks. Paper is OK but does not compare to Japanese notebooks.
kinda lame that they put "montblanc" branding on every freaking page.
Nice review and nice notebook, a bit pricy for a non-refillable notebook however.
Non-refillable????? What a waste !!!!

I’ve got nothing to say, this is an excellent review. Everything was very well executed and explained.
I've been looking for a decent review of MB notebooks for quite a while. Wonderful review, thanks a lot!
You're welcome!

Wow! At this price point I would expect the ink not to bleed through.
Total disappointment for me.
Love the review! Def gonna purchase a bunch of this for school. I just love the overall quality
Nice review!

Important to notice: They do not lay flat when opened.
Is that true?
@@oswaldrivera5858 Yes. I recently bought one and I have to hold it open while writing. Never again.
You lost me at "'kind of' an overview".

Brilliant, thx! :D

146….a nice compromise. The 149 is ultimate size…better paper and priced to empty your wallet.
Wearing gold is bad for men affecting their brain and memory
Tomoe River paper and I would want no other books but MB notebooks! Make them 365 pages and sign me up!
What do you write in the notebook
Things.
Pensamientos, ideas, planes, frases, etc
I’d write my will.
Silver is good for men and increase immunity and wBC
Love the 10 mm ruling!
Great video thanks

Are these notebooks refillable?
Just found out, NO !! 😢
How much this book??
235
Does the outside really have to be made out of dead animal skin (=leather)?
We used humans before but they hung most ‘notebookmakers’ after the war
You're upset about dead animal skin but not the dead trees used for the paper? 🤔
@@waynebruce24893 Well spoken, sir. If we can use paper, then we can use leather.

The mr paper series has been very helpful to me, thanks
