INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
While I've been open to shipping to most countries internationally for many years, there has been an increase in shipping delays and additional regulations that have been making it more difficult to ship outside the U.S. All countries outside of North America have been disabled from the shop. Please message me if you have a specific need to ship to your country with potential shipping risks. I cannot guarantee delivery dates due to those potential shipping delays internationally.

Unfortunately, at this time, I am no longer accepting requests for custom layouts/spreads that do not already exist in the shop. It will be on a case by case basis if I'm able to do any custom layouts/spreads so I can focus on current orders, but I can do custom requests combining existing notebooks that are already available in my shop. Please message me first before placing your order.
Reach out if you have any questions about existing notebooks or if you have any suggestions for the shop! For more information about me & my shop, see my profile and my shop policies before ordering.

5 out of 5 starsI have bought from this seller before, because the Quality is top notch. It more than met my expectations and Matched the description. It is my go-to for my monthly calendar and the seller worked with me on size.

5 out of 5 starsHave bought notebooks from this seller for years. They are consistent in their high quality notebooks. The new Sanzen TR paper is very much like the original paper we fountain pen users loved.

5 out of 5 starsThis paper is lovely, and shows off ink characteristics as well as the original TR paper. It might be slightly more textured, but not in a bad way.

5 out of 5 starsGreat little notebook. Bought it to check the new Tomoe River Paper formulation, the "Sanzen" version. It's good, but not very close to the original. Still, good.

A5 Slim Size
If you are interested in the A5 Slim size, I would recommend the Wide size option from the shop. The A5 Slim size is listed as 8.3" x 4.9" and the traditional Wide size is 8.25" x 5". Since the sizes are very close (0.05" x 0.1" difference), it would be a great option. When placing an order for the A5 Slim size, if you need it cut exactly at 8.3" x 4.9", please leave a note at checkout.
Alternative Cover Options
If you are purchasing a notebook with Tomoe River, Strathmore, Shiraoi, Onion Skin or any other custom papers and would like an alternative cover added to the notebook instead of the kraft brown or black options, please order the specialty paper notebook and leave a note at checkout which cover you would like me to use from the shop. Please note not all covers are available in the largest size (Extra Wide / A5) when placing your cover request.
Square Corners (No Corner Rounding) on Notebooks
If you are looking for square corners (no corner rounding), I can exclude the corner rounding after cutting the notebooks. Please leave a note at checkout that you want square corners on your notebooks.
Custom Grid, Dots or Lined
Here are all the options I offer by request:
- Dots: 3.7mm, 4mm, 5mm (default)
- Grid: 3.7mm, 4mm, 5mm (default), 6.5mm
- Lined: 5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm (default), 8.7mm college ruled
Please leave a note at checkout that you want a custom size for the grid, dots or lined if preferred. It must be one of the options listed above.
