The Mnemosyne N196A Japanese spiral bound notebook features a durable, black plastic front cover and a heavy paperboard back cover, rounded corners, and is bound with twin wire spiral binding.

The N196A model is B6 size and measures 5 inches wide by 7.5 inches high and has 50 sheets of perforated, fountain pen friendly blank paper. Each page has a "Date/No." and "Title" block in a single line at the top of the page, is lined, and split into 3 sections down the page by solid lines. The paper is 80 GSM. Although it is lightweight, it is still heavy enough to take most fountain pen inks without bleed-through. The paper is properly sized for water-based inks so that no feathering occurs.

Each Mnemosyne pad has a yellow blotter page inside the front cover. Works equally well with any writing instrument ballpens, roller ball pens, and pencils. Mnemosyne pads come in many different sizes and page styles.?
