FAQs

Is the cover made of real fabric?

Yes, the notebook is bound in authentic tartan cloth, providing a unique texture and appearance.

Does this notebook lie completely flat?

While the hardcover provides excellent durability, it may require a light break-in period to lie perfectly flat at the spine.

Can I use fountain pens with this notebook?

Standard pens work best. Fountain pens may work depending on the ink flow, though some ghosting may occur.

How many pages are included?

The notebook contains 176 pages.

What is the primary function of the elastic closure?

The elastic closure keeps the notebook securely shut and helps prevent the pages from bending during transport.

Is the notebook refillable?

No, this is a fixed-bound hardcover notebook and the pages cannot be refilled.

Troubleshooting

Elastic closure loses tension

Avoid overstuffing the notebook with loose papers or clips, which can stretch the elastic band prematurely.

Ink ghosting on the reverse side of pages

If using fountain pens or heavy-ink pens, test the ink on the back page first; consider using a thinner nib to reduce saturation.
