Paradise A5 Notebook

A5 (8.3” X 5.8”/21CM X 14.8CM)

300gsm card cover with 100gsm FSC approved white internal pages

'Perfect binding' square spine

My bestselling hand-bag-sized patterned notebook is a stylish statement piece of stationery that is great for notetaking, doodling or for journaling.  

The Paradise pattern might not be able to transport you to the rainforest, but it can add some colour and energy to your notes with the hand-drawn bird motifs, the colour block design and the movement from the small leaves around them.  

The cover is a sturdy but not heavy 300gsm card, with a lilac on the inside.  The 200 internal pages are 100gsm FSC approved paper - so will hold up against really inky pens including highlighters and fountain pens - and the first one has a monochrome version of the cover with a circle for key information, so there’s no need to get that first-page fear with these notebooks! Whilst there aren’t page numbers (the B5 have them if you need them), these do have the same light-grey 5mm-spaced dots which mean you can keep your notes straight (if that’s what you want) but they’re not too dark to overwhelm any writing or drawing you might do on the page.  

Finally, the binding of these is a square ‘perfect binding’ meaning they’re glued all along the spine.  This allows a bit of flex though, and with creases in the cover you can open it out nice and wide to get the most out of each of the pages.  

These notebooks are printed here in the UK by an independent business specialising in book printing, and the same printer that has printed all my notebooks.  As with all my products the print runs is kept deliberately small, ensuring waste is minimised and allowing for a bigger range of patterns.  

Each notebook comes wrapped with a recycled paper belly band and in a biodegradable cellophane wrap to protect it which makes it a planet-friendly stationery gift too!  

Notebooks like these really are a great colourful gift for stationery addicts, journal lovers or the organisers you might know, and why not build it in to a beautiful stationery set with the addition of a double sided bookmark, an A4 planner pad or A5 notepad - whether in the same pattern or an alternative - creating an elegant, thoughtful and practical gift set sourced entirely from small and independent U.K. businesses. 

Helpful things to know:

For a paper comparison Leuchtturm notebooks tend to be 80-100gsm, and standard printer paper is usually 70-80gsm.

FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, which promotes responsible forestry and, arguably better than just recycled paper, FSC-Certified paper confirms that the paper used is both recyclable in its own right and has originally come from a sustainable source committed to responsible forestry practices.
