another workhorse is rhodia, famous for its grid paper:

some argue that dark lines distract, white lines don't... try out Whitelines (which comes in both grid + lined):

new this year are noteletts from letts of london. 192 pages of quality paper that will hold up under a fountain pen! and fabric covers in bright, fun colors.

susyjack* has some great notebook designs and coordinates with fun ikat patterns!
