The 2 mm, 10 mm grid layout features 0.1 pt vertical and horizontal lines every 2 mm with a bolder 0.3 pt line every 10 mm. Each 10 mm grid line extends beyond the grid edge, enhancing visibility. The grid bleeds off the top and side of each page, leaving a gutter down the spine of each spread and along the bottom of each page.

Description

260 x 210 mm

The Pomelo Notebook features 156 pages of sustainable 130 gsm smooth off-white paper. We use a binding method known as Smyth sewing or Section sewing. This requires 10 folded sections to be machine-sewn in-house into book blocks. This stage is crucial for durability and the books’ lay-flat capabilities. These book blocks are then bound by hand with a thin layer of water-based PVA. We leave our binding exposed as this technique provides maximum flexibility, allowing the book to open completely flat on every single page.

Best ever notebooks I've had. Perfect size, great quality paper, lovely colours to choose from and unfussy design. Best feature is the pages sit flat - hurrah! I use coloured fine nib felt tips. My book goes everywhere with me and all my thoughts are in one place - projects, ideas, 'to do' etc

this large-format notebook now serves as a field for the development and design of software solutions at my workplace. every day I enjoy its openability, and the paper is such that fountain pens literally fly across it.

i am super impressed with the quality of the notebooks, they are just perfect and miles better than anything else i have seen
i took ages to search online for that unique hand made notebook/sketchbook and had seen some of them on art suppliers websites
1. they are actually flat fold as they say they are and every single page is useable from the first page, as others i have used waste the first two pages and are not truly flat fold. WOW
2. the quality of the paper is superb, its just perfect and a nice shade of ivory, nice weight and great to write on with a fountain pen, just glides over the paper. WOW
3. the line layout is just perfect i have been searching for a lined layout like this, one that does not end or start at the edges, which makes it nicer to write in and not writing at the edges, it just frames the writing so much better and neater. WOW
4. the board backing is perfect, does not bend like other suppliers.
5. the minimalistic look is perfect, none of this fancy patterns etc just plain and simple and perfect
6. the fact that is is printed locally is another bonus.

Notebook looks great, like the revealed binding. A little disappointed with the fountain pen performance, could be a little less absorbent. The size is unique and is easily found in the pile!
Looking forward to seeing the workshop
