Minuscule sample: I am currently using a school notebook from Georgia (the real one) which I bought at a street market in north-east Turkey in 1991. It's 28cm x 20.5cm, i.e. narrower than US Letter and shorter than A4. I am an old-stationery freak. If anyone needs to know the format of a Bermuda Police notebook from the 1960s (handy as a travel notebook) or a Hill, Norman and Beard organ-tuner's logbook (actually I've only got the plastic cover now) or a University of Pittsburgh exam script book from the 1970s (ideal for torrential stream-of-consciousness love letters) just ask away, but I wouldn't really recommend printing music on any of them. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
