So glad you got yours in time to chronicle your tragic death in Weatherpocalyse 2015. Future historians will applaud your fine choice in paper and ink.
That cover is gorgeous, too. Glad it all finally arrived!
*edit*
Here's a reminder of how European paper sizes work. It's such a smart system, I have no idea why the US doesn't adopt it. I guess I answered my own question - it's way too smart.
The A series is the most commonly used and it includes the standard A4 sheet (which is the closest to a US 8.5"x11" letter sheet). You can find notebooks in the B series pretty easily, but it isn't used as much. The C series is reserved for envelopes, but who cares. In any series, you can just fold a sheet in half along the log axis to see the next size in the series. The aspect ratio is always preserved as root 2 in the A series because this system is very smart.
So here's my large Rhodia A3, a sheet of Tome River A4, a Hobonichi Cousin in A5, a Rhodia notebook in A6, and a Moleskine notebook in slightly longer than A7 (Moleskine...smh). You can see how each new size is just half the previous size.
A5 is the usual size for a journal notebook, like a moleskine or Hobonichi Cousin (The US equivalent is "5.5"x8.5"), which is ever so slightly longer and skinnier). A6 is the point at which things start fitting in a pants pocket (pocket moleskine or Hobonichi Techo, sans cover). A7 is the size at which things qualify for an official EU designation of "cute" (US "fun size").
