Midori MD Notebook Journal in A5. Very minimalist indeed, the MD notebook journal is to all intents and purposes a block of paper. But the paper is top quality MD (Midori Diary) paper and is the result of over 60 years of painstaking research to ensure that the end product is a pleasure to write on and is suitable for all types of pens and ink. Generally speaking there is no feathering or bleed-through: the only pens that might do so are certain markers. It's the same type as what's in the TRAVELER'S COMPANY range. The notebook journal contains 368 pages, enough space to use it as a daily diary. The pages are bound together with stitching, so that they lie flat. There is not even a cover as such: the spine is protected by a simple strip of cloth tape, which is hidden in 'normal' notebooks. Each sheet is perforated in the bottom corner, which you can tear off when you finish it, just to keep an eye on where you are in your journal. The dotgrid ruling features subtle dots ideal for using as guidance when writing and sketching, and two slightly darker dots at top right lend a suggested place to write the date. The plain page version features two short lines at the bottom of each page as a place for the date, if you so wish. Covers to protect your notebook journal are available separately.
