The Qitaab Ampersand Pocket Notebook is a small notebook designed to be easily carried in a pocket, purse or bag. The smooth 100 gsm paper makes for easy writing with a fountain pen, ballpoint or graphite.
Each Ampersand Notebook also ships with a Ruled Card with lines on one side and a 5 mm square grid on the other to provide guidelines for writing and drawing.
Flexible Spine
Each notebook is built with the Qitaab standard flexible spine, allowing the book to be opened flat. This is especially helpful for left-handed writers and artists, since both pages are equally horizontal for use, without much spine tension.
Pocket Sized
At a convenient size of 160×82 mm, the Ampersand Pocket Notebook fits neatly into most pockets and purses. It only weighs 92 grams, and does not add much weight to your luggage if you are travelling with your Notebook.
Handmade
Each Notebook is printed, metal-pressed and bound by hand, limiting the usage of resources and materials.
Rule Card
The Ampersand Pocket Notebook ships with an enclosed Rule Card, with lines on one side, and a 5 mm square grid on the other. The card can be slipped under each page and used as a guideline to write, or draw along grid lines, useful for artists, designers and architects.
The Ampersand
An ampersand is a graceful stylised representation of the conjunction “and”; its form was originally an abstraction of the Latin word for and— “et”.
The logogram on the cover of the Ampersand Notebook is a modified version of the Adobe Caslon Italic ampersand.
