How many pages does the notebook have?
It contains 121 numbered pages, with 8 of these being perforated and detachable.
Is the paper suitable for fountain pens?
Yes, the 80gsm acid-free paper is designed to be ink-proof and takes all types of pens, including fountain pens, very well with minimal bleed-through.
Does the notebook lay flat?
Yes, the thread-stitched binding ensures the notebook opens flat without pages becoming loose, making it comfortable for writing.
What does 'dotgrid' mean?
Dotgrid refers to the pattern of faint dots on each page, which provides subtle guidance for writing or drawing without being as restrictive as traditional ruled lines.
Can I store loose papers in this notebook?

How do I organize my notes in this notebook?
The notebook features a blank table of contents at the beginning and all 121 pages are numbered, allowing you to create an index and easily reference your entries.
Troubleshooting
Pages are difficult to turn.
Ensure the notebook is lying flat and the binding is not being strained. The thread-stitching should allow pages to turn smoothly.
Ink is bleeding through the pages.
While the paper is designed to be ink-proof, extremely wet inks or heavy application might show some ghosting. Try a different pen or allow ink to dry fully before closing the notebook.
Elastic fastener feels loose.
The elastic is designed to maintain tension over time. If it becomes significantly loose, it may indicate wear. Ensure it's properly seated around the cover.
Cover is creased or bent.
The softcover is flexible. Minor creasing may occur with handling. Store the notebook flat and avoid placing heavy items on it.
