A square grid at 4.00 mm sits closer than the usual graph paper pitch, forty-six rows down an A5 page. At that spacing a small technical drawing can carry real proportion. A bracket, a floor plan, a stitch chart: anything where the grid needs to disappear once the drawing is finished with it.

A coarser square grid works fine for a bar chart or a quick sketch. It starts to fight a drawing that needs four or five squares to a real centimetre, because the lines compete with whatever is drawn over them. This pitch gives that kind of work more room before the grid becomes the loudest thing on the page.

Four millimetres is the whole pitch. Nothing else about the page is decided for you.

What is inside

Squared pages: 132pp; A 4.00 mm grid, forty-six rows to the page, drawn as vector lines.
Reference: 8pp; Conversion tables computed from definitions and emergency numbers checked against two sources.

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.

The film

Page by page

A vertical film, 52 seconds: the cover, the ruling page, then 5 reference pages. Synthesised ambient bed, no dialogue — captions in three languages.

A vertical film from our own bench — this page contacts nobody's server to play it, and downloads nothing until you press play.

What is inside this book?

Five pages from the Squared Notebook 4 mm laid out as cards: a grid page, a section divider, a conversion table, an emergency page, and a grid page with a sample drawing. — Five pages rendered from the print file: a grid page, a divider, a conversion table, the emergency page, and a grid page with a small sample drawing for scale. Every line is geometry, not a bitmap, so the grid stays crisp at any zoom.
