Product Description
Filled with 90gsm paper that's designed with fountain pen users in mind, Rhodia Rhodiarama Webnotebooks provide a superior surface and durable, stylish container for your writing. Hardbound with a leatherette cover, each Rhodia Webnotebook is outfitted with an inner pocket for loose notes, an elastic closure to keep your writing safe and clean, and a ribbon marker so you'll never lose your place Read More
LaeficaBasically: hard cover, elastic closure, inner pocket, ribbon bookmark, and the pages are sewn together and "bound in signatures" so they lay (closer to) flat and won't fall out nearly as easily as a glue- or staple-pad (none of the images on massdrop show it very well; there's one here: http://www.shopwritersbloc.com/rhodia-webnotebook--medium.html). The closure, inner pocket, and hard cover are, imho, quite nice for traveling. The notebook also looks quite nice, if that matters.
In other words, it's Rhodia's knock-off of the Moleskine, except that, being Rhodia, it's better in every way, from paper to manufacturing quality; especially paper. Moleskines have notoriously variable paper quality for such a "premium" brand, to the point of sometimes being unusable with fountain pens.
$20 is really not a bad price for this notebook (you can find slightly better prices, but not reliably for the colors you may want). You do get what you pay for. On the other hand, if you're happy with a "standard" notebook, you may as well just stick with that. I'm a pen-and-paper fetishist, and $20 even makes me cringe a bit. However, if you like Rhodia paper and want a stitched notebook, this is by far the easiest way to do it.
ThereallyhappysockThat isn't the same product. Rhodiarama is different from Rhodia. Although if you just want an orange or black Rhodia notebook, yes go to Amazon.

FlourishingPalmsyes, the webnotebooks are ivory; but no, pH-neutral doesn't necessarily mean that the paper is ivory. for instance, all Clairefontaine/Rhodia paper is pH-neutral, even the "on-white" varieties.
FlourishingPalmspH neutral just means that the chemistry of the paper won't change your ink color or the items glued or placed inside the book over time. Of course if you use acidic glue or tape, those could cause discoloration. Light cases discoloration too, but a closed notebook should be fairly protected against that over time.
