A tasting page is ruled into the same four stops most tasting runs through: appearance, aroma, palate, finish. Nothing after that is printed for you. There is a place to write a score. It is not a scale that says what a nine means against an eight, because that number is yours to define and defend, not the book's to hand you.

Behind the tasting pages sit twenty-six lined pages at 9.17 mm, plain, for whatever a four-part page can't hold: a recipe worth repeating, a supplier's name, a bottle you want to find again. The tasting run is the bulk of the book; the notes are what's left over from it.

The score is yours. The page just leaves room for it.

What is inside

Tasting pages: 84pp; Appearance, aroma, palate and finish, with a score field left undefined.
Notes: 26pp; Lined at 9.17 mm, for a recipe or a note the four categories can't hold.
Reference: 10pp; 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.
