Specifications in brief

A4 192 dotted pages 86.6gsm thick paper Smyth-sewn binding black cover made in Japan by Apica.

Why the binding matters

Smyth-sewn notebooks are built from stitched sections of paper rather than glued sheets. This makes them strong enough for heavy use, which is important for a large notebook that will be opened and carried often.

Pair it with

A fine or extra fine nib fountain pen is perfect for detailed notes on a dot grid, while a broad nib or brush pen is great for headings.
