The Cover

The hardcover is really strong. There were other patterns to choose from too!

 

Approx 0.75″ thick

I found this notebook in Belgium… hence the lack of English.

Index

A generous 4 index pages are included

Dot Grid Pages

The pages are bright white!

With 5mm dot spacing

I’m not a fan of the page number in the middle of the page. It’s quicker to find the page you’re looking for when the numbers are in the corner. Plus, it wastes a lot of space awkwardly being in the middle of your spreads.

The key / legend is at the back with the Index at the front. Much easier to find what you’re looking for than clustering it all together at the front.

Pen Testing

I tried all my usual ballpoint, gel, fine tip and marker pens etc. – there was some minor ghosting on the back side of the page but no bleed through except for one of the marker pens and MAMBI stamps.

Pros of the Planner

• Bright white paper
• 3 Ribbon bookmarks
• Index & legend pages
• Paper quality is good
• Sturdy hardcover

Cons of the Planner

• On the pricey end for a dot grid notebook (converts to about $28 AUD)
• Page numbers are in the middle of the page
• Hard to find (have only seen this notebook in Belgium)

Would I use this notebook?

Yes. I like the bright white paper, the pages lay flat and the fact that the dots extend right to the edges of the pages – no wasted space.
