Product Description
Write like never before with the Ghost Paper notebook, which combines the freedom of blank paper with the structure of lined pages. The alternating embossed and debossed pages give a faint line that disappears in direct light, and the texture is slight enough that it doesn’t interfere with pen marks Read More

Love the concept.
Love the concept, but for anyone who like writing in whatever form, the blankness of the page is a bit frightening and first, in that you want the pages to be aesthetically pleasing. But that is a personal thing. When I was removing a sticker that was on the cover, a piece of the cover came out. Slightly less strong stickers could resolve this.

"Ghost Paper," is described by its manufacturer as, "the freedom of a blank journal with the structure of a lined journal." As a lover of stationary, I was intrigued by this product because innovation is hard to come by in the paper industry (especially since it has been around for centuries).  I've tended to shy away from blank notebooks in the past (and in particular blank Tomoe River notebooks) because they required me to carry a writing mat (i.e. a separate piece of plastic that goes underneath the page being written on). With that said, I was hopeful Ghost Paper could give me the best of both worlds: lined pages when I wanted them, and a blank page when I didn't. Did they succeed? Read on to find out.  Basic Info:
  • Cost: $25 / A5 notebook (on the manufacturer's website)
  • I paid $40 for two notebooks via "drop.com"
  • Size: 6'' x 8''
  • Page Count: 96
  • Numbered Pages? No

Pros: 
  • Ink drys incredibly fast on this paper. Words didn't smear even if I touched them immediately after writing them (though, as a caveat, I did all of my writing with an EF or F nib).
  • The notebook includes a built-in pen loop and page marker, which is always nice to have.
  • The paper didn't disintegrate when exposed to a few drops of water. I don't know that it'd stand up to mixed media or water colors, though. 
  • Though there is show-through, bleed-through is minimal. There is a touch of feathering present, but only if you really look for it.  
  • The embossing / de-bossing feels interesting to touch, but is subtle enough that it does not affect the writing experience. In other words, I only felt "valleys," while writing on the paper when I was really looking for them.

Cons:
  • The embossing / de-bossing is neat, but it can be hard to see the lines on a given page without either writing with the notebook at an angle (i.e. not laying flat on a table) or deploying an external light source in close proximity, like a phone's flashlight. Neither of these are ideal, as the former can be uncomfortable, and the latter takes away from the joyful simplicity writing in a notebook affords. This issue persisted even in natural light.
  • On this note, I think the embossing and debossing is much easier to see on the manufacturer's website (ghostpaper.com) than it is to see in person, which is disappointing.
  • Though this is a matter of personal preference, the rubbery cover material used for this notebook feels weird to me.

Conclusion: This notebook has some good things going for it: the paper seems to be of reasonably high quality, and I enjoy the novel thinking its manufacturer brings to market. With that being said, novelty isn't always useful. I couldn't see the lines as clearly or as often as I would have liked. Since that is the main feature / selling point of this product, I can't justify giving it a high score.  This notebook is best suited for someone who wants a blank notebook with occasional lines much more than someone seeking a lined notebook that is occasionally blank. I'm glad I did not pay full price, and while I wouldn't steer a friend away from the product, I wouldn't encourage a purchase either. Ultimately, I am not in a rush to buy more, "Ghost Paper." Final Score: 6/10 Read more reviews @ "quinnreviewseverything.blogspot.com"

Overall decent notebook. The imbedded lines are fairly deep so as to be noticeable when felt or when writing. The cover material is a little disappointing as it had already bent under the pressure of the elastics on arrival.

It’s an interesting notebook to write on. unfortunately, the notebook is not fountain pen friendly. You will see feathering and bleed through on the paper.

First off, this is not the paper for thicker inks and wetter/broader/flex pens. The feathering and bleeding is too apparent, sometimes I have encountered bleedthrough. The paper smelled like mold, not sure if it's just the natural smell of paper. Sheen may be encountered, but not too apparent, except inks that have monster sheen, like Organics Studio Walden. Now for the positives: The embossing is a great gimmick, not intrusive but providing enough of a guidance. Does not mess up the pen's line, nearly invisible on the paper itself. Soft touch softcover, pleasant matte steel grey color, minimalistic embossed details on front. Pen loop, rubber band to hold the notebook closed, ribbon bookmark — basically all included. The paper itself is nice and smooth, not as glossy as Rhodia, which, in my opinion, is pretty good.

I just wish they offered a hard cover option. I would also prefer if the pages were all embossed instead of alternating, but I realize that the way books are bound makes the method they chose much easier to manufacture.

I purchased on amazon for $25 for one book, and it was well worth it, so at this price... it's a steal. I hate blank paper, because I'm terrible at maintaining lines. With this, it isn't a problem. It was so good, that I purchased again here!
Of note, I don't write with FP, so not sure about the feathering for those. But definitely recommended!
