Notepad Review: Rhodia dotPad by Rants of The Archer on Jan 25, 2011Sometime in spring last year, Rhodia introduced a new addition to their line of notepads, and they called it the dotPad. dotPads are "functional black stapled notepads with a dot grid."

Notebook Review: Daycraft's Flower Wow by Rants of The Archer on Nov 30, 2010I'm always happy to receive new products to review, especially ink and paper.
