## Description

We have designed our notebook very carefully – down to the last detail. The pages are numbered and there is an empty table of contents to make it easier for you to organise your notes. There are several perforated pages at the back of every notebook, in case you want to share a note with someone else. All books come with a set of self-adhesive labels which help you to archive them.

Review: Great product! Though it has problems. - This is by far the BEST notebook i've ever used in my life. It's made me a loyal Leuchttrum buyer from the second i got it till now. I've had this notebook for a little over a year and batter it to all hell. It looks fine is holding up perfectly. I love that the paper isn't stark white and the dots are perfect for bullet journaling and just writing. The binding is very sturdy, i haven't had any pages fall out and I love that the pages are pre-numbered. The pocket in the back is sturdy and the best in any notebook on the market. Though this is by far the best notebook i've used, it does have its problems. If you are using pigma microns, it doesn't bleed at all, just ghosts. BUT if you're using any Permanent and not archival pens it will bleed like a mother-----. It sucks but i prefer pigmas so it's not that big of a deal to me. I mentioned the ghosting earlier and yeah, thats a thing. Since the pages are very thin you can see whats on the other pages through the sheets of paper and its not THAT bad but if thats a deal breaker to you I'd take it into account. TL;DR Great notebook, sturdy, classy, pulling a Mary Poppins by being practically perfect in every way. BUT there is a lot of bleeding with certain pens and enough ghosting to fill a haunted house.
Review: Perfect! - Wonderful notebook, decent with fountain pens too! Its a chunky book 😄

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many dots per page? one answer said 32 down and another was 39.  Neither addressed how many columns of dots.  Really hoping for 35+ x 25+.**
A: I bought an olive colored one two years ago and it had 38 dots from top to bottom on the page (making 37 rows). I bought a red one last year and it had 39 dots (38 rows). I bought an olive one again this year and it had 38 dots again. The index pages are also inconsistent.

**Q: Are the dots shown in the photo accurate? They seem very large, dark and with large spacing in the photo.**
A: It is an illustration, not a photo, and it is very inaccurate! I think it would be hard to show in an actual photo, especially in the small Amazon product picture size. The dots are very small, of a mid gray color. They are sufficiently visible to guide you if you want it, but not so pronounced that they inhibit use for a freehand sketch. Definitely designed by someone with a keen visual sense. I use mine for business notes and related sketches. I highly recommend this notebook!

**Q: Is 249 pages 498 writing pages?**
A: No, it is 125 pages, 249 writing pages.

**Q: How many lines are on each page?**
A: There are 32 lines. 31 of those lines writable, you can write on the 32nd line but it is at the bottom of the page. Lines are spaced about 1/4in or 6mm. Hope that helps.
