This is the cover I bought and I quite like it. There is a paper cover made of a thicker cardstock. I broke my plastic cover before I had even put it on my notebook. The clear cover allows you to see the minimal design of the notebook, but the plastic is very flimsy. If you just can’t live without a cover for your notebook there are a range of options to be bought separately. It enhances the simplicity of the notebook rather than adding embellishments to the cover. I think there is something quite pleasing about these design choices. The outer design of the notebook is very simple with the binding visible on the spine. The notebook is bound with thick cardstock and wrapped in a paraffin paper which can be removed or left on depending on your preferences. ![]() This made it even easier to lay out headers in my bullet journal. On the outside of the gridded area are small dots defining every 10 squares horizontally and vertically on the page. This makes the grid less obvious, putting more focus on your writing. The lines are coloured in a pale blue which works well with the cream colour of the page. This is now something I love about the notebook and I actually prefer it to gridded paper in other notebooks. The MD Notebook has a slightly thicker line denoting the boundaries of the grid.įor whatever reason when I initially looked at this notebook I didn’t like the boxed-in feel of the page. Unlike other notebooks where the grid or dot grid patterns run off the edge of the page. The reason I didn’t like this notebook at first was because of the grid. This grid uses 5mm squares with gaps in between. I bought the version of the MD Paper notebook with gridded paper. This could be used as a journal or diary and it would be easy to add dates to the page. This paper is divided down the centre of the page so it’s easy to divide the page in half. MD Paper also makes a sketchbook in this range with a slightly different paper but a blank A5 notebook is an option too. The blank version which I’ve learned works very well as a sketchbook. According to the Midori website, this is to place more emphasis on the use of the notebook rather than the design. The MD Paper notebook comes without a cover. This is a series of high-quality paper notebooks which according to the website “ use the inherent appeal of paper to enhance the writing experience”. Midori has continued to create innovative new stationery products including the MD Paper range. You might recognise Midori as the company who created the Traveller’s Journal range. ![]() Midori is one of Japan’s most well-known stationery design companies and has been operating since the 1950s. MD Paper consists of a range of products owned by Midori. ![]() So in this post, I’m going to review the A5 gridded MD Paper notebook and explain how it has become one of my favourite notebooks. As you may be able to tell I eventually got over those issues. No one was more surprised than myself when I decided to not buy the notebook because of a few little issues I had with the notebook. With the assumption that I would buy one. The MD Paper range is sold in the London Graphics Center so when I was in the area, I decided to take a trip to have a look at the notebook in person. At the time I was looking for a new notebook and thought this could be a contender. I was browsing a few stationery shops online when I came across the MD Paper notebook. I guess I should explain this story a little more.
