“But ah, the real beauty is inside. Each of the 144 pages is printed with a variable grid design”
I’ve tasted the fine wine, and I can’t go back. Photo: by Molly Young In one of her novels George Eliot has a passage about how comforting it is to hang out with people who don’t intimidate you. She compares it to wearing your second-favorite articles of clothing, which are better than your actual favorite articles of clothing, because you’re not afraid of ruining them.
Because my job is to write I use notebooks daily and go through dozens per year. In Eliot’s formula my notebooks are “second-favorite clothes.” I use them as a reporting tool, journal, and to-do list receptacle, and I can’t afford to be precious about them. My first one was a gift. Its cherry cloth hardcover and thick paper stock gave it a heft that communicated “THIS IS A KEEPSAKE, NOT A UTILITY.” I admired it for six months untouched and then ran low on my normal stock and cracked it open.
But ah, the real beauty is inside. Each of the 144 pages is printed with a variable grid design. This pattern is simultaneously a constraint and a mild creative prompt . You progress through the notebook not knowing which grid design will greet you on the next page. Will it be the gray lines? The blue boxes? The tessellated triangles? The evenly spaced dots? The grids are all bold enough to provide structure but faint enough to foreground your writing.
