Allow to dry.

I thought the box it came in was a really nice touch, and I was very impressed by the presentation. However, I also worry about the ribbon fraying, and I have not had great results with fountain pen ink in mine. I use a lot of De Atramentis inks, which tend to feather pretty badly on this paper, and sometimes bleed. But oh well, it's a nice notebook that opens flat and feels nice to the touch. I'll use it for something!Annanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484890041572022255.post-8249022437845327912014-03-13T12:29:37.204-04:002014-03-13T12:29:37.204-04:00Excellent review Azizah!

I still don't understand what about a dotgrid notebook makes it "for thinkers", and I definitely don't get how a notebook promotes "community". Great, thorough review.
