@idahole_dot_com Dag, good Q! There's only so much improvement that can be done to a paper pad or notebook—or so one would think. Our belief is that quality design and manufacturing happens in the details, especially for products that have literally been around for centuries.
At first glance, it's just a pad; but then you start to use it on your desk and realize you've never had a pad quite like this. The size is just right (we tested dozens), the dot grid is refined to the nth degree (the right color and value so that they're dark enough to be used, but fade away when you don't need them), and the paper quality is fantastic (takes all kinds of writing instruments, including fountain pens).
Hope that helps!
