Cover: Tough gloss paperback. Binding: Secure professional trade paperback binding, i.e. it's built to last; pages won't fall out after a few months of use. Dimensions: 20.3 x 25.4 cm (8" x 10"). (Almost the same width as A4 but a few cm shorter in height - just that little bit easier to squeeze into a bag.) Interior: - 200 pages of blank music manuscript on thick white paper (minimizes ink bleed-through), - 8 staves per page with thin lines that don't overpower your notation. - Page numbers, - Enough space between staves for jottings and lyrics.
