Key features & specs

How it compares

While similar in form to standard soft-cover journals, Public-Supply stands out due to its high-quality Smyth-sewn binding which outperforms glued equivalents. It rivals boutique brands in paper quality while offering a more significant philanthropic return than mass-market competitors.

How to use it

1. Open the journal to any page; the Smyth-sewn binding allows it to lay flat immediately.
2. Use a fountain pen or rollerball, as the thick paper prevents significant bleed-through.
3. Identify the classroom goal number on the back of your notebook to see which project you supported.
4. Archive or recycle the notebook responsibly once all pages are filled.
