The rest is the familiar hard-cover kit: an elastic closure in the cover color, a ribbon bookmark, an expandable pocket inside the back cover and an embossed Rhodia logo on the front. Rhodia is the French brand behind the orange [Rhodia No. 16 pad](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/rhodia-no-16-dot-pad/). It has belonged to Clairefontaine since 1997, and Exaclair sells it in the US; Exaclair's 2024 catalog lists the A5 at US$26.50. ## Rhodia Webnotebook A5 specs | Spec | Value | |---|---| | Maker | Clairefontaine Rhodia (Exacompta Clairefontaine group) | | Size | 140 × 210 mm (5.5 × 8.25 in); Rhodia's French site also offers 14.8 × 21 cm | | Pages | 96 sheets (192 pages), not perforated | | Paper | Ivory Clairefontaine vellum, 90 g/m² | | Rulings | Lined, 7 mm · blank · dot grid, 5 mm | | Cover | Italian leatherette hard cover, embossed logo, round corners | | Spine | Glued (Exaclair) | | Extras | Elastic closure, ribbon bookmark and gusseted back pocket, all in the cover color | | Codes | Black lined 118609C (EAN 3037921186091) · black dot grid 118769C (EAN 3037921187692) · black blank 118669C | | US list price | US$26.50 (Exaclair 2024 catalog) | | Made in | France, per Wonderpens | Pages, paper, cover and rulings come from Rhodia's French site; codes, spine and list price from Exaclair's 2024 catalog, and the 7 mm line spacing from Goulet Pens. ## How big is the Webnotebook A5, exactly? **Rhodia's US distributor and US and Canadian retailers list 140 × 210 mm, slightly narrower than true A5 at 148 × 210 mm.** Exaclair's catalog gives 5½ × 8¼ in, and Wonderpens gives 14 × 21 cm. Rhodia's own French page offers both "14 x 21 cm (A5)" and "14,8 x 21 cm (A5)" as size options without explaining the difference, and De Serres lists 15 × 21 cm. If you need to fit a cover or sleeve, measure before you buy. ## Which ruling should you choose? **Pick lined for writing in sentences and dot grid for lists, layouts and sketches.** ![To-scale drawing of two 140 × 210 mm Rhodia Webnotebook A5 pages: one lined at 7 mm, one with a 5 mm dot grid](https://stationerytimes.com/images/rhodia-webnotebook-a5-rulings.svg) *The two Webnotebook rulings on one 140 × 210 mm page each.* - **Lined (7 mm):** the same spacing as the Midori MD Notebook, close to US college rule. - **Dot grid (5 mm):** a common bullet-journal grid that fades behind drawings. - **Blank:** listed by Rhodia and Exaclair (black blank: 118669C), for sketching. Retailers also list Rhodiarama editions in colors such as purple and turquoise, and a silver cover. Check each listing for its ruling and page count. ## Is it good for fountain pens? **It has a strong reputation with fountain pen users, though we haven't tested it ourselves.** A 2013 review describes many enthusiastic Fountain Pen Network threads about the Webbie and its bleed-resistant pages. Wonderpens and Pulp Addiction describe the 90 g/m² Clairefontaine sheet as brushed vellum. Smooth, well-sized paper keeps ink on the surface, which tends to mean crisp lines but slower drying. ## How does it compare to a Leuchtturm1917 or Moleskine? **The Webnotebook has fewer pages but heavier, ivory paper than either.** | | Rhodia Webnotebook A5 | [Leuchtturm1917 Medium A5](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/leuchtturm1917-a5-notebook/) | [Moleskine Classic Large](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/moleskine-classic-notebook/) | |---|---|---|---| | Size | 140 × 210 mm | 145 × 210 mm | 130 × 210 mm | | Pages | 192 | 251, numbered | 240 | | Paper | 90 g/m² ivory | 80 g/m² | 70 g/m² | | Index | No | Yes | No | | Pocket | Yes | Yes | Yes | The Leuchtturm1917 adds page numbers and an index. The Webnotebook puts its weight into heavier paper instead, which suits ink more than archiving. For even heavier 160 gsm paper on a 5 mm dot grid, see the [Notebook Therapy Tsuki](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/notebook-therapy-tsuki-bullet-journal/). For numbered pages on the same 90 g/m² paper, the [Rhodia Goalbook](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/rhodia-goalbook/) adds contents pages, undated calendars and a pen loop. ## Where is the Rhodia Webnotebook made? **Wonderpens lists it as made in France, and Rhodia's 2024 French press kit says the brand has always produced in France, at Illzach near Mulhouse.** The paper comes from Clairefontaine's mill at Étival, also in France; Rhodia's product page itself names no country. One Swiss retailer listing for a Rhodia A5 notebook has given Morocco as the country of origin. That may reflect one product or one production run, so check the label if origin matters to you. ## Frequently asked questions ### What size is the Rhodia Webnotebook A5?
