Should the pages of the notebook for the bookclub be lined or unlined?

Half and half- room for drawings -like every 5 pages put a unlined one in if possible

Kathie Gifford

Lightly lined. Just a hint of help for writing and drawing straight.

Santa Sir Glenn Dr Heald

unlined use a ruler for writing for realistic works. What year did lines start appearing?

Ian Hunt

No lines. .....and the latest video on YouTube has a letter with no lines! Checkmate! Lol.

Heather Torrey

I prefer unlined, even though I write on a slant without lines.

Randall W. Hawkinson

I'm with Kathie, Lightly lined, perhaps light grey. And, like Glenn, I too, wood love to know when lines began being printed. You would think that a college grad with a minor in Graphic Communications would know that!

Tom Usher

Lined, please! I write in entropic. It just gets more and more illegible as I go. At least the lines keep my scribbling looking Dean Martin drunk, not Otis Campbell drunk.

Amy Petty

Lined. I know a few folks think otherwise, but I don't think authenticity is or should be the goal here - and a lot of us just can't use an unruled notebook.

Look up John Tetlow - he patented a machine for this in the late 18th century!

I'm a lightly-lined person, myself. Preferably somewhat narrow...

Diann

Agreed for lines, light, and presumably somewhat narrow. (To increase potential page input!)

Ed Hanley

Lined. Unlined would certainly seem more period-correct and aesthetically pleasing. However, I expect the notebook is intended to serve some functional purpose and lined paper might be more conducive to achieving that end. I suspect most of us cannot yet craft so elegant a communication as that recently received from Mr. Kahn in England. So lined strikes me as the more practical choice on this occasion.

Ed Hanley

Then again some of us having trouble simply typing - let alone writing. I was referring to Mr. Khan in my previous post and spelled the name wrong. Apologies.

Rose McGuinn

Unlined, please, for more flexibility. Thanks for taking a vote!

Rose McGuinn

My Second Idea: Why not both? What I mean by that is, why not include at least a few pages that are unlined for those of us who like to make a quick sketch or three to help with our note taking?

Sonjia Leyva

I like the idea of half lined and half not. Some of us *really* need those lines, but it's hard to make sketches, etc., on lined paper.

Patricia S Godfrey

Unlined please, for those of us with an artistic bent... though.. options are always nice.

RG de Stolfe

Since this is meant to be a practical modern used item with a look of the 1700s, college ruled pages in a light color would be practical and desired. But also have a small section, say near the back, of blank pages for drawings, sketches, or whatever other free form drawing or writing someone wants to do (depending on the books in the club). Is the book hard or soft? If hardback, inside cover linings would be nice.

Lane Andress

Unlined. or only the left/right side pages with light lines and the other side blank? Which is more authentic? 🤔

Brigit Zent

I would say whichever would be more period! Otherwise--unlined.

Philip Esteban

Unlined, one can always take a ruler & pencil to line it for one's self.

Yup, thats why I like unlined too. People in the 18th and 19th century had no lines but beautiful penmanship. Mine is not the best - I think because the nuns broke my knuckles LoL . Plus its far easier to make little sketches or doodle on unlined pages

Hilary Amon

Unlined. We should bring handwriting (and cursive) back :P Currently working through an AA but I'll keep up best I can!

Lesley K Spivey

I would want lined for those of us who have a bit of a time keeping level lines. However make them light/faint. That will give guide for writing AND allow sketches with a certain amount of grid for drawing.

Brigit Zent

Make BOTH available for purchase? have you decided yet?
