A lot of people sort of twist their notebooks when they write in them, this Slant-Ruled Notebook by Matt Brown has lines that are at a 45 degree angle- good if you have to write in a tight spot, like on an airplane. Made me look.

I love that! It’s great when rethink the obvious. Like this Japanese notebook that uses giant margin space to facilitate creativity!

What about us lefties!
Jan 20th, 2010 / 11:40 am
John, I was thinking the same thing. Need a version for lefties!

this was made for me.

Agree with the other Lefties…. is this available with the opposite slant??? That would be stellar for us!
Jan 20th, 2010 / 11:41 pm
Umm, doesn’t this just exchange one problem for another? How often do you read at a 45 degree angle? Which is the greater inconvenience?

This reminds me of writing notes in high school.

Oh, this is brilliant. That is exactly how I write in my unlined notebooks — it’s the only way I can keep my writing in a straight line, I think because it’s very easy to maintain a straight line for the first few, much shorter lines, and then you have them as a guide as the page widens. But I love the idea of slanted lines (however, I would need one for lefties).

I love this idea! Thought I’m not sure if I’d be able to stare at it for too long.

We Lefties need this WAY more than right-handed people.

This is simply genius. I actually right like that – starting from the upper left corner – when I have a chance, for example when I sign a card. Maybe reading will cause problems though – it will be awkward to hold a notebook sideways, or to keep bending your head.

I always wondered why people write this way…

yesterday I added a slant-ruled notebook PDF template to generatedpaper.com. You can find it here: http://generatedpaper.com/en/graphandgrid/slant_ruled_notebook
You’ve the option to select if you want it for left- or right-handed people.
I would love to hear your feedback!

Lefties would just turn the whole book upside down
Nov 4th, 2011 / 11:11 pm
The lines still slant the same way upside down.

Really great!
Dramatic and with a sense of humor.
Jan 16th, 2012 / 7:35 am
I am lefty also! Neat idea for us lefties…we are always turning are papers.
Jan 27th, 2012 / 10:13 pm
Love the idea! Apart from trying to make them ourselves, do you have some available for purchase? I’m a rightie, but can totally empathize with the lefties. The need for both would be a big hit and a hot seller!
Mar 18th, 2012 / 12:36 am
LEFTIES! just write from end to beginning
Jul 17th, 2012 / 4:40 pm
what about for reading what you’ve written? will you have to tilt your head or hold the book at an angle?
Dec 19th, 2012 / 2:57 pm
What good is putting them on the web if we can’t buy them. I’m left handed and worldwide have very good use for them.
What a shame.

I saw almost same note in Korea, 2008.
Nov 21st, 2014 / 4:55 am
All the links appear to be dead ends…
May 20th, 2015 / 11:02 am
Not the perfect way, but lefties could turn the paper 90*…
May 25th, 2015 / 12:58 am
