What are the exact dimensions?

Can I use fountain pens in this notebook?

Is the cover material washable?
The tartan fabric cover is best cleaned by dabbing with a slightly damp cloth; avoid soaking the cover to maintain the binding integrity.

Pages are difficult to keep flat
Gently press the binding down while the notebook is open on a firm surface, moving from the center of the book outward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This notebook is ready for use immediately upon opening. To improve longevity, consider laying the notebook flat on a hard surface for the first few uses to 'break in' the spine.
Compatibility: The notebook is compatible with most standard writing instruments, including ballpoint pens, fineliners, and graphite pencils. If using heavy ink pens or markers, test on a back page to check for potential ghosting.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture from affecting the paper quality. Clean the exterior tartan fabric by gently wiping it with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth if it accumulates dust or surface marks.
