Review from Laura R.

I LOVE THIS STATIONERY SHOPPE! My husband and I got everything we needed to make our own wedding invitations, our daughter's baptism invitations and more recently, birthday invitations. Every time I have visited, Russell, the owner, has spent tons of time with me and he always goes way out of his way to help me with my invitation projects. Once he had over-nighted material from Chicago so that I could have what I needed ASAP. I love to take time out to investigate all of Russell's fun finds - he travels all over the world to fill his store with great and unique stationery supplies. If you love high-end paper, pens, stationery and office supplies (once I purchased lovely adhesive tape imported from Japan), then you need to check out this store!
On a side note, Russell is a big supporter of the Montreal art community. The second floor of the store is dedicated to local artists. -

As far as I know this is the only place in Ontario or Quebec that carries Whitelines notebooks (http://www.whitelines.se), which I've been obsessed with for the past year. When I discovered this via the distribution page, I promptly planned a trip to Montreal to stock up on these fine notebooks. OK fine - I wasn't *that* impulsive, but I did incorporate my burning yen for pale-lined graph paper notebooks into my trip plan.
Montreal already has Essence Du Papier, which carries many, many brands of journals, agendas and fountain pens by reputable brands like Clairefontaine and Moleskine, but Nota Bene has so much more.
First of all, the store is pristine and everything is wonderfully organized. There are so many goddman notebooks to choose from you won't be able to settle on just one. I was in such a tizzy over the availability of the notebooks that the owner could hardly contain her giggles. She was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and even alerted me to the fact that the store has an online shop and delivers to Toronto. The upstairs was being used as an art space when I visited. Cool idea.
I ended up leaving with some Danish and German graph paper notebooks that were on sale for only $4 each, as well as some ink refills for my Lamy fountain pen and of course, the aforementioned Whitelines notebooks. I pretty much bought out the store. Trust me when I say these books are the BEST. The paper quality is unparalleled and it's such a treat to write on graph paper, without the distracting and harsh dark lines. The paper also photocopies or scans blank, meaning the lines disappear, giving the illusion of plain white paper. -

Nota Bene stocks unique products and the store owner is simply amazing. He knows all his products well, travels everywhere to find more interesting things to bring back and helps out the Montreal art community with his upstairs gallery.
Check it out and support a great local business! -

This is the best god damn stationary store I've ever been in.
They have so much great stuff, and the staff are so helpful and friendly.
They did not judge me when I chose a non recycled note book over one with recycled paper.
i hate recycling. i can't find a place to review that so I will do it here:
I hate recycling it's a waste of time and it doesn't really help all that much. -

Russell, the owner of Nota Bene, is what many stores in Montreal should strive to be like. He spends time with you, loves talking about his products and sets the bar very high for all other store owners everywhere.

Wonderful place, great service, lots of one - of- a -kind or difficult to find products, The owner, Russell, is very helpful, open to your suggestions for something you'd like to buy but can't find, no attitude, no snobbery. I've been a customer of his since he was in Westmount, & have been going back ever since. Highly recommended.

Best store of its kind I've ever come across. Great selection, super helpful but not overbearing staff. Can't wait to return.
