College ruled is a phrase used constantly and defined almost nowhere. The number behind it is nine thirty-seconds of an inch, 7.14 mm, and twenty-four of those rules fill the page top to bottom.
The same pitch runs finer and coarser on the same shelf: 7.0 mm one step down, 8.0 mm one step up, both close enough to college ruling that the difference only shows up with a ruler against the page rather than by eye.
None of that changes what the page is for. It stays a plain ruled sheet; what is different is that the pitch behind 'college ruled' is printed here exactly, instead of left for a ruler to find out later.

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.
- 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.
