Approx 1.5cm thick (between 0.5 & 0.75″ thick)
There are 25 dots horizontal and 41 dots vertically.
Some notebooks can print the dots too close to the page making it awkward to write on / rule up pages. This one has a few millimetres space on all sides so you don’t have to worry about that.
However, there aren’t any page numbers.

Pen Testing
The paper quality isn’t the best but is to be expected given the cheap price of the notebook. Ballpoint and gel pens had the least ghosting.
