A5 Notebook with Lay-Flat Design
Crafted for those who appreciate both beauty and functionality, this A5 notebook opens perfectly flat, thanks to its hand-sewn signatures. Each notebook is meticulously stitched by hand using french pink linen thread to complement the vibrant turquoise of the cover.
Thoughtfully Designed in Every Detail
This notebook contains 92 dot grid pages, with the grid and endpapers printed in a matching turquoise, making it a truly cohesive design. The cover is screen printed by hand, one by one, using a unique hand painted pattern.
A Story Behind the Design
The name of this edition, "Cascarúo," comes once again from my home town Málaga. Cascarúos are a kind of lemon with very thick skin. These specific lemons are sold as candy. You cut them in half, dip them in sugar and suck the juices. Delicious!

They are just a tiny bit smaller than A5. This is because I trim it once it's bind to get nice edges

Pages: 90 gsm Munken Pure paper
Cover: 240 gsm Scandia 2000
96 pages counting the end sheets. In total, it's 90 pages with dot grid
Munken pure is an off-white premium paper made in Munkedal, here in Sweden. Just 200km away from my workshop. It's perfect for fountain pens. It doesn't ghost and it takes a lot of ink to make it bleed.
The paper used for the covers is called Scandia 2000. It's a premium paper made in Lessebo, also here in Sweden.
The dot grid has a 5mm spacing and the dots are printed in a matching color with the cover and thread used for the binding.
Binding details
Binding details
The notebook is sewn by hand in 6 signatures of 4 sheets each, using matching thread color. Each signature is 16 pages.
The notebook is then pressed and the spine is glued using archival PVA glue. This adds extra strength to the notebook and keeps it slim.
Handmade notes
Handmade notes
These notebooks are handmade one by one. This means that although I aspire to make them as perfect as possible, minor imperfections are bound to happen.
Most people find these charming and it's a sign of a product that is not factory made.
However, if you are not happy with any of my notebooks and think it's not in an acceptable shape, please reach out and I'll be more than happy to send you a replacement or sort it out in any other way.
