Papier Plus' bible paper journals are slim 7 inch by 5 inch volumes and are less than twice the thickness of an iPhone 5. Yet the thin paper means the volume has 256 leaves, 512 pages. The paper is unlined, creamy colored, and gilt-edged. Though the paper is thin it is relatively dense and un absorbent so ink does not blotch.
The thinness of the paper means it is somewhat translucent so one can tell that there is handwriting on the other side of the leaf. The way to make paper opaque is with fillers which also make the paper thick and stiff but this volume is all about thin and light.
Being thin light and having lots of leaves, these are the ideal travel journal or near-home always-with-you journal. They are not in the least waterproof though so for serious traveling, trekking, or bicycle touring, the indispensable accessory is a freezer-weight ziplock plastic bag. (Never put a fountain pen in the same ziplock - with elevation change the ink will ooze out and destroy your journal).
The book also has a sewn-in place marker ribbon. I find these unnecessary but others might like them.
The only thing not small about the bible paper journal is the price -- 60 euros. Ouch! But what did you expect at a Paris boutique that sells hand-made goods a few steps from the Seine? read more
