Poignancy

I am disappointed with the notebooks of today. When you try writing with an ink pen on one side of the page, it shows on the other side. What are these guys making? Bloating papers? The stationary industry is to be pitied!! You might build big red buildings with stylishly written "staples" on it, but if you cannot give me a notebook in which I can happily write with an ink-pen... screw you.
