Midori's MD Notebook is a beautiful, functional example of minimalist design. Made in Japan using traditional thread-stitched bookbinding methods, the MD Notebook is durable and capable of lying completely flat. The MD Paper inside works well with all kinds of pens (including fountain pens) and pencils. Midori has given a dash of color and fun to your minimalist MD Notebook. Each type of notebook has a different color bookmark ribbon: red for blank, blue for ruled lines, black for grid, white for cotton, and orange for diary. The colored string, peeking out from the white cheesecloth binding, adds a modest accent. The MD Notebook arrives wrapped in a sheet of wax paper. You can use your notebook with the wax paper, or remove it to reveal the pristine form of the notebook beneath. Once you're finished with your notebook, you can wrap it in the wax paper again for storage. MD Notebooks come with a sheet of index labels, so you can note the contents before adding a full notebook to your shelf. - Size: A5 - 5.8" x 8.3" - Available in Blank, Lined and Grid formats - 176 Pages (88 sheets) - Made in Japan MIDORI has been making stationery in Japan since 1950, with a long history of combining thoughtful design with meticulous craftsmanship.
