Stephanie at the Rhodia Drive blog asked me if I would like to write a review on their Rhodia Webnotebook, and she would also send me one to offer as a giveaway on my blog. I immediately agreed of course, as I’m always up for free stuff; and if I can share that free stuff with my blog followers, all the better. The notebooks were sent to me by Karen at Exaclair, Rhodia’s U.S. importer, and arrived last Friday.
The Rhodia Webnotebook (nicknamed the Webbie) is a 5.5″ X 8.25″ blank notebook that has 96 sheets of 90g Clairefontaine smooth vellum paper. The soft leather-like cover is black and has the Rhodia logo embossed on the front. There is an elastic band to keep the notebook closed, a ribbon bookmark and the inside back cover has an expandable pocket. The pages are a light cream color and with some coaxing will lay flat. The paper quality and size of the Webbie makes it work well as a sketchbook too. Overall the Rhodia Webnotebook would make a great addition to any creative person’s arsenal!
The Webbie 
Various pens and pencils - Top to Bottom; Pentel Graphgear 1000 (.9 with HB), Prismacolor Non-Photo Blue, Prismacolor Col-Erase Blue, Pigma Micron 01, Pigma Micron 05, Faber Castell Pitt "S", Faber Castell Pitt "F", UniBall Grip, UniBall Vision Elite, UniBall Signo .5 Blue, Pilot Easy Touch PRO "M", Pilot Varsity Fountain Pen, Pentel Pocket Brush, Kuretake Brush Pen and a Rotring Art Pen "F'
The Webbie would make a great notebook for a musician to work out songs in...
...or to keep track of movies you’ve watched or that are on your “must see’ list. If you’d like a chance to win a Webbie for yourself, leave a single, non-spam comment below telling me how you would use it. Make sure your email address is somewhere in your comment so that I can contact you if you win. Cutoff for entering is Sunday night (8/15/10) at 9:00 p.m. eastern. I will pick one lucky person using the random number generator over at random.org. Good Luck!

A big thank you goes out to Stephanie at Rhodia Drive and Karen at Exaclair!
That looks cool. I would like to try one out.

GTD baby. GTD. Next actions lists, Someday/Maybe lists, Project lists, etc... I've been waiting for the ones that I ordered myself. Another wouldn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteOK, here goes. I carry a blank book wherever I go, and I write what my mind is wandering through or babbling about, or I sketch the first thing I see, or I drift off into poetry, or a dream, and then when something happens I have to react to, I stop and move on. bgibson@cybertrails.com or bill.bgibson@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win one of these! My sister has one, and I am supremely jealous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!!

I'd use to work out a new cipher..
ReplyDeleteCool deal. I have the desire to map out my lessons on blank paper. I've been getting into quality paper like Moleskine and Rhodia with Copic markers. Great combo. Here's to my chance at getting my hands on one! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'd use it for journaling, of course, keeping it with me at all times for whenever the muse strikes. Of course I usually have to strike the muse, or at least threaten him with a baseball bat and then he cooperates. Violent creativity, not always my first choice but it comes in handy.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a chance to win a Webbie! I'd use it for pen/ink testing, journaling, random thoughts...
ReplyDeleteI would use the webbie to write down that which influences such as Hawksley Workman's song Claire Fontaine.

I'd use it to journal in while on work breaks....it keeps me sane :) Sometimes I write silly little haikus about work too...heh :)
ReplyDeleteI'd use it for anything and everything. It'd be my go-to book for any random story thoughts, plot lines, characters ideas or just doodling with a new pen

I, of course, would use it to write out ideas for my own blog, which NEVER gets me cool free swag like yours does!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably use it for personal journaling.

Looks interesting. I would like to see how it shapes up compared to its competitors.
ReplyDeleteI'd use mine to continue the chronicling the funny things my 4 year old and 2 year old say.

I would use my Webnotebook to do my daily fast sketch drawings. i would also write about my feelings of having a Son in Afghanistan. I of course would veer off and do some fun silly drawing.

I would use it to record quotes from books I am reading!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm starting a project of making lists of books I have read/am reading/plan on reading. This would be the perfect notebook to start the project in!

The only paper never wasted is paper doodled upon. And the Webbie would not be wasted with all that blank creamy paper. I would carry this close to me to doodle when I'm bored or need cheering up or see something that has to be remembered. I would also keep track of inks in pens since when I do that using a legal pad the pages get all out of order. Thanks for review and giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWould love one of these unlined versions . . . migt even inspire me to take a stab at drawing something (I'm no artist).
ReplyDeleteI'd use it to record cool things found in intereting blogs, like David-Wasting-Paper.
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cool giveaway!

I’ve yet to try out a Rhodia journal and greatly appreciate the opportunity of doing so.
