Maruman MNEMOSYNE Notebook (A4), 70 Sheets / 140 Pages, 5mm Grid, (N180A), MADE IN JAPAN

Excellent book

This is an absolutely wonderful notebook. I mainly use it for maths. The paper feel is so nice, the quality is perfect. The grid spacing is perfect for me, a bit smaller than the standard. The title space, date space and half width marker at the top is also a nice touch. Bought extra for future use.

I cannot praise this notebook enough. I'm a math major, and I take all of my class notes with the Mnemosyne Inspiration. The paper itself is exquisite, and takes everything I've ever thrown at it without a hitch, from .5 mm pencils to 2mm color pencils from .25 gel pens to broad nib fountain pens. It loves everything you can imagine using with it. It especially loves my Waterman Carene pen, which is the deal-maker (or breaker--depending on how a paper does). The pencil lines erase and erase and erase if I make mistakes--which I tend to do a lot of, since parabolas and I seem to hate each other (but not hyperbolas--go figure). For math, this notebook simply cannot be beat. Going back to portrait notes is a major PITA after using this notebook's landscape orientation for a day or two. When I go back to normal notebooks, I miss the Mnemosyne's title bar at the top that lets me log quick-reference information about the contents of my notes--chapter/section, topic, date, etc. I miss the subtle tick mark in the center that lets me know where I can split a page if I need to. I miss how I have enough real estate to write some of my complex problems all the way across the page, where I can see it all, rather than trying to wrap it around to another line, like typical American paper usually required. Or how I can write a formula to one side, notes about how it works in a block below it, then a sample problem in yet another box, and a graph in yet another box. I miss how everything is on one page in a form that makes sense to me. I miss the perforation that works right, every single time, always tearing out the notes without catching or hiccuping at all. I even miss how I can draw out diagrams on the blank page on back or cut out printouts from my professor and glue-stamp them to the blank page on the back and have it facing my homework so that I don't need to dig through massive notes over and over again. Or how I can use that blank page simply to doodle during a dull moment in class. If you love brainstorming your notes, then this notebook will be your new best friend. If you're more restrained and want to do standard I. A. 1 type notes, then you can do them with this notebook, too. When this notebook really shines, though, is when I'm sharing information with a study group. Everyone can see my information and make sense of it at one glance. All I need to do is turn it to face them, and all of the important info is there in one place, and easy to read. Yes, this is an extremely expensive notebook, but it's a steal when I think about how much better of a math student it has made me. I don't know what I'd do without this notebook.

Maruman siempre ha ofrecido calidad. La serie Mnemosyne además le suma elegancia. El papel es consistente y permite sin problema tanto tintas de gel, como pigmentadas o teñidas. En definitiva, aunque es un cuaderno que está en el lado caro, las calidades va acordes al precio.

上質紙のA3方眼紙ノートという唯一無二の貴重な製品です。私は万年筆で裏表の両面に記述をしておりますが、裏写りも少なくて、インクの乗りも良い感触です。

Got the A2 size, which has a graph paper type grid. The cover, paper, and coil binding are all of excellent quality. The paper is smooth and doesn’t bleed through. It’s a joy to use this notebook! Currently using it to plot a novel with small sticky notes, and to create character relationship trees. Love this notebook!
