Four pages at the front are ruled into two columns, headed Page and Subject. Nothing else in the block fills those columns in for you: every dot-ruled page that follows carries a printed number in the corner, and the index only works if that number gets copied across as each page fills.
Dots sit 5.0 mm apart, thirty-four rows to the page, drawn as geometry rather than a tiled pattern, so the lattice holds its edge under a close zoom instead of resolving into a scatter of soft squares.
The index page does not fill itself in. Skip it for the first thirty entries and the number in the corner is the only thing telling two dot pages apart.

In every book
The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.
- How to use it
- One page describing this book, not a different one.
- This book belongs to
- One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
- My details
- Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
- Emergency numbers
- Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
- Point at this
- A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
- World map
- Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
- Conversion tables
- Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
- Pen test leaf
- The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.

Questions

What is the dot pitch?
5.0 mm, thirty-four rows down the page.
Is there a coarser version?
