Bonne chance!

What a fantastic and generous giveaway, thanks so much. I’m really impressed with the Habana, in fact it’s one of if not the nicest notebook I own. I only wish they were more readily available on the high street over here (I have to buy online).

Lovely Lovely Lovely Giveaway! Just like Sam I’m also taken by the Habana quality and so wish they could be sold here, but I also have to go online. How I’d love to get one – they are the perfect partners to my fountain pens – to be greedy I’d love it even more if it had blank pages
Vive de La France!
Ian
What a great offer! But it’s not only Bastille Day, it’s also my mother’s birthday. And since if she’d not been born I would never have been born, I suppose in a sense it’s my birthday too, so I really hope I get chosen!

Awesome Idea! Habanas are my favorite notebook, and I think I have tried almost all the different brands. Can’t beat them for use with a fountain pen.
And in honor of the day, I am going to have to break our some a couple fountain pens made in France

I love Habanas so I’m crossing my fingers. Just in case anyone hasn’t read one of the million good reviews for them I saw that Lady Dandelion put one up just the other day: http://ladydandelion.net/2010/07/10/review-quo-vadis-habana-12-inks/

Those of you who can’t find them locally have a plethora of excellent vendors, including Pear Tree Pens, Goulet Pens, Writers Bloc, and a few sellers in the Marketplace forum of the Fountain Pen Network. And that’s just in the U.S.!
