    This is great! I would cut a piece of paper to size and sketch on the general layout I was looking at so I could see what it was like to write on.
    One thing to keep in mind is that Japan has different B sizing than the international standard (the A sizes are the same). The difference is minor, but Japanese B paper is a bit taller and wider than ISO. In B5 and B6 (the most common planner sizes), the Japanese paper is less than 1 cm longer and taller than ISO - not much, but enough to notice that there's a slight size difference.

    Ooh! For my birthday I’ve just ordered all size from A&O in my fav design between L’s all the way down to A6, including traveler's notebook…
    Ls; Goal Setting
    B5; Reference
    A5; Templates
    B6; Mum’s stuff
    A6; On the go (only frixion pens)
    TN; Address book
    8x8; Haven’t decided yet.
    Plus a notepad with T.A.R.D.I.S blue (close enough & tombow 528).

  • @queenbuzybee4074
    @queenbuzybee4074 2 года назад +6

    In Europe, we use the DIN A, B and C standards. One easy thing to remember is that the sizes are duplicates of each other. For example, 2 x A6 is A5, 2 x A5 is A4. 2 x A4 is A3 (or 4 x A5). It’s a very simple system. A0 being the largest (16 x A4). Wire gauges are similar, the higher the number is, the thinner the wire will be.

    Thanks for a really clear explanation of the A and B paper sizes. We tend to use the A sizes here in Europe and the B paper sizes are the standard used in Japan. I love the variety and choice available with my current favourite which is a B6 slim which is such a dinky little notebook.

    This was absolutely perfect!!! I have been in an A5 for quite some time and I was like if it was just a bit smaller I can carry it everywhere without weighing my purse down. The the question became. What size do I choose because I don’t want it to be too small and I won’t use it. This was the most perfect explanation. I never knew the concepts of the letters and number but you’ve made it so clear now for me. Thank you. !!!!

Just wonderfully exhaustive visual examples of how the sizes compare to each other, exactly what i needed. I myself am looking for B5 ring binder to start making cooking recipes collection. I have all kindsa notebooks in different size from Moleskine, Dingbats, Leuchturm... but the binding intimidates me! I need loose leaves so I can reorganize. I haven't really found any decent B5 binder yet, but this vid helped me determine I just need to keep looking. Thank you again. Subscribing!

    😢 Thank you soooooooooo much this was so frustrating for me when I go get a note book and come back to notice they’re not at all the same….. it frustrated me because if it looked good aesthetically (plain Jane) I’d just grab it. Just received a couple notebooks in the mail from a family member (They know me so well). At first glance they all looked different (7 notebooks)…. It didn’t phase me till later…. When I packed them on my travels…. They began to have prominent issues in terms of fitting them in my messenger bag and struggled to fit some of their corners and sometimes the notebooks themselves. Long story short…. I was stumped on what was the big ordeal of sizes…. You hit the nail right on the head for me. Now i understand. All I knew in the means of paper sizes at best was “Legal” as in legal pads…. And poster boards XD…… now Ill be wise as to ask about the sizes next time I jet to grab a new notebook……
    Again thank you so much

And the A5 which I find a bit to big and ok at an desk, but still slightly to rectangular somehow. Thanks to your method I’m now convinced B6 will be the perfect one to add to the collection!
