Off stationary topic: The inclusion of the reading adds a very delightful touch to the post! I got the feeling the shapes don't have to be square or circle for the theorems to be true, probably only need to require the shape to be 2D; without grid it's trivial, these theorems are charming because they restrict the dots to onto a grid. What about grid with non-square shape, say triangular or honey cone? Do you by any chance still remember? (or maybe i should just get the book out of library... Thanks for mentioning this intriguing title) Rhodia also produces dot pads. It's a shame this dot format is not widely available. Whiteline has a similar concept but different implementation, the printing on writing paper guides instead of distracts. I dream of the day those 2 dollar writing pads are produced with dot grid. An observation, majority notebooks in North America come with horizontal lines while the impression I got from a short stay in Europe is that over there gridded ones are more common. Maybe someone can comment on this? Sorry I’m digging up your old posts now.

Even gentle erasing from the GvFC eraser causes a great deal of smearing and possible tearing of the paper. I really like the look, concept, and feel...I just wish the paper was less porous.
