Care Precautions

• Binding Protection: Avoid folding the covers back-to-back, as this can strain the sewn sections and eventually compromise the spine.
• Storage: Store in a dry area to prevent the paper from absorbing atmospheric moisture, which can lead to page rippling.
• Labelling: Use a permanent marker or self-adhesive subject label on the front cover for quick identification on a shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does "1 Quire" mean? In the South African stationery context, a 1 Quire book refers to a counter book containing 96 pages (48 sheets).
• Is this book stronger than an exercise book? Yes, the hardcover and section-sewn binding make this significantly more durable than softcover, staple-bound exercise books.
• Does the ink show through the pages? The high-quality bond paper is designed to minimise ghosting; however, very wet ink or permanent markers may be slightly visible on the reverse.

Quick Stationery Hack: The "Reinforced" Corner

• To ensure your counter book lasts even longer, apply a small piece of clear packing tape or a "book corner" protector to the corners of the hardcover. This prevents the corners from "mushrooming" or fraying when the book is repeatedly slid in and out of a heavy school bag or backpack.
