Great writing deserves great paper. The Apica Premium CD One Notebook in Red, A5, Squared (CDSSA5S) is a Japanese notebook with thick 86.6gsm paper and sewn binding, wrapped in a bold red cover.

Why squared (grid) paper?

• Keeps handwriting straight and evenly spaced
• Perfect for maths, science and engineering notes
• Makes drawing tables, charts and diagrams easy
• Popular for bullet journals and planners
• Great for sketching layouts and floor plans

Built to last

The pages are Smyth-sewn, a traditional binding method where signatures of paper are stitched together. Sewn notebooks are durable and tend to open flatter than glued ones, which makes writing near the spine more comfortable.

Paper you can feel

At 86.6gsm, the paper is noticeably thicker than everyday notebook paper, giving a solid, premium feel as you turn each page.
