Baron Fig

Confidant Hardcover Notebook

$18.00

It’s a nice hardbound notebook. It’s got good paper that works well with pretty much any writing instrument. It’s great for pencils; it’s nice for fountain pens; it’s good for ballpoints and gels—there’s not going to be any bleed-through; and it lays flat.

Baron Fig’s an interesting company. They’re based in New York. They’ve come out with a lot of new products over the past few years, and I think they’ve really got a good price point. These notebooks are $18, which undercuts the price point that you would get for Moleskines, which is kind of lower quality paper—you’re paying more for the brand. Baron Fig offers a good price for the product, and I’ve been impressed with what they can do with the paper that they’ve got.
