Chairs at Staples is great. Depending on how many hours you sit in one is evaluated. Then you can pick right solution. The door rep did a great job explaining and accommodating my request.
The paper has an appealing porcelain tint that provides a good static background against which the horizontal lines themselves a decorative deep sky blue really pop. The rules of other brands of paper either imprison the writer with their oppressive hues or virtually dissipate and risk the scribe's clarity of expression by promoting wild abandon. These however gently apply discipline and correction to one whose script might otherwise slide off the plane. The slight magenta tone to the vertical margin line imposes a stronger order so that one doesn't write too far to the left while the ghost of its reflection on the opposite side permits a forgiving maternal flexibility to the imagination. The texture is smooth enough to write easily across its surface yet with a subtle texture providing just the right amount of friction so that the writing implement doesn't scoot wildly away from its handler. Pencil ball-point fountain pen even quill and ink (my preference) are all easily accommodated and delightfully displayed on the page allowing one's script the fulness of artful expression within its helpful confines. The paper's thickness is just so not too weighty yet providing sufficient depth that the obverse rules are not visible except perhaps when held up before the light. Marker tones of various types may bleed through however so use caution with such indelible tools. Several hundred sheets can fit in a medium or small binder so that one has enough of this key resource for multiple drafts and the range of thoughts of the fruitful mind. The holes are solidly made having that hand-bored look after the manner of the Trapper-Kuyper monks of Belgium in making their medieval loose-leaf illuminated manuscripts. Both the human and divine are evoked by the ever-so-slightly imperfect circular holes while also expressing the trinity in its symbolism of three-in-one coequal and each indispensible. If divine revelation could still occur in this time this paper would be appropriate for its inscription for the ages.
