A notebook that allows you to reach the desired page quickly. The thumb is guided by the finger hook, and the page number is visible at your fingertips when you turn the pages as they are. The back cover of the hardcover has a crease so that the pages can be turned over without removing the cover.

■Pages are composed based on a 5mm grid, with small intersections of the grid pulled out every two lines, making it easy to use the pages in 1cm increments. At the top, there are headings with the same structure as the table of contents page, making it easy to compare with the table of contents. The square grid section has a center mark.

The text paper is a light cream-colored paper that makes written text easy to read. We paid particular attention to the writing quality with ballpoint pens and mechanical pencils, which many business people use. We have also taken into consideration the feel of the rubber friction of disappearing ballpoint pens in particular.

The size is "A5+," which is approximately 10 mm larger than A5 in the horizontal and vertical directions. Although it may look slightly larger, this is the size that does not protrude even when a standard A4 sheet of business paper is folded in half and inserted between the two sides. Reference materials can also be pasted without cutting out the four sides.

The binding uses a new technology called "PUR binding" instead of the thread-binding method used in many high-end notebooks. This binding method is a type of soft-backed, wireless binding that allows for wide, flexible opening, and since all pages open evenly, the feel is the same on every page.

A transparent pocket is attached at the end of each page. By using different materials for binding, which has been difficult with conventional bound notebooks, a transparent pocket is mounted to make it easy to see and remove the contents. The size is A5+, so printed materials can be inserted directly by folding them in half.

■A slightly thicker, high-quality elastic band is provided. This is to hold the notebook firmly in place even when the notebook becomes somewhat thick due to attaching materials to the pages or inserting pieces of paper into the pockets. It is also a design accent of the notebook.
