Whitelines notebook
Conceptually, I love the idea behind the Whitelines series of notebooks. The idea was to create gray paper with light white lines that would be unobtrusive but visible enough to keep your writing and notes neat.

J. Herbin Rollerball Fail

I believe that they were designed to roll for right-handed people…
