New notebook

New baby!  327g. 

Working with such a thickness took me a few days of adjusting details. A few imperfections, more than usual. I had to do some parts of the process in two steps. But I reached the goal of much bigger spine compared with the pages (+29%). This will help to balance the thickness once the notebook is eating notes, experiences and sticked alien stuff. The pages will get about 54% bigger. Now it looks a little ugly in his initial trapezoidal shape.

Some photos show it together with his great grandfather (n-4) notebook. New one will be 21% thicker than it when finished!

A fat notebook has some problems I experienced before: It’s heavier to carry, difficult to write near the edges and higher risk if it’s lost/stolen when travelling since there are many more memories and hours of work. Of course I can’t call it “pocket” anymore. However the final shape is magnificent, and this only point makes up for everything before. At least I think so now. Maybe myself from the future will think different but anyways he has the duty to carry it and finish it from now on.
