5 out of 5 starsGreat product, well put together and packaged. I made a mistake and ordered the wrong pattern on the paper and the seller was great about adjusting my order for me. Very happy. Thanks.

5 out of 5 starsI have written years of daily journal entries on this seller's paper, so I feel qualified to write a review. I have never once received a product that isn't exactly what I am used to. My personality dictates that once I find something I like, I will never search for another product. With that said I cannot recommend this seller enough. The consistency is top notch and for that they have my loyalty. I usually order 3 months worth at a time so I don't risk running out.

5 out of 5 starsCan't wait to use this to swatch my ink collection :) The way the sheets crinkle with each page turn is so satisfying <3

Frequently asked questions
Midori Covers
I currently don't sell any Midori leather or fabric covers, but there are many Etsy shops that provide all types of covers in many sizes! Please search on Etsy for covers for the notebooks.
Custom and personalized orders
Unfortunately, at this time, I am no longer accepting complex custom orders. It will be on a case by case basis if I'm able to do any custom orders so I can focus on current orders for the shop. Please contact me if you have any questions about existing notebooks or if you have any suggestions for the shop!
Rush Shipping
At this time, I do not offer a rush service, and orders are made in the order they are received. If you need your order by a certain date, please contact me prior to ordering to determine if I can meet your shipping date. Rush requests after ordering cannot be guaranteed. For expedited USPS shipping, please choose either USPS Priority Mail or USPS Priority Mail Express. For international expedited shipping (excluding USPS) such as FedEx or DHL, please contact me prior to ordering.

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.
