Here’s a new brand of notebooks that look fantastic!
Notebooks : Calepino.
Designed and manufactured in France, available in lined, squared and plain. 48 pages, 90g paper, 9 x 14cm. Sold in 3-packs that come in nice little case. Each 3-pack is 9 Euros, but outside the EU you can take 19.6% off since you don’t have to pay VAT. And if your total order is more than 27-40 Euros, depending on location, they will ship for free. (Not sure if that free shipping minimum is before or after you deduct the VAT.)
I’m dying to try these!
OMG, they are French Field Notes! Even so, very cool. I love the cover design. I’ll be adding these to my collection one of these days for sure!

19.00 EUR = 24.7298 USD
For a 3 pack. 9 euro for 1 pack – if you spend 29 euro – free shipping. otherwise 10 euro for shipping. Think I’ll wait unless we have a group willing to split a bulk order.
And yes French Field Notes. Right down to the pens and pencil offerings. Personally I like the FNB pens and pencils. Love the cedar and MADE IN USA companies.
I’ll defer to those with greater knowledge, of course, but I thought they looked like a classier (the covers, the little case) version of the Moleskine cahiers. I haven’t checked the postage rate to the UK, but I’m willing to bet that I won’t be using these guys very soon. I do like the look of their ‘panoplie’s, though.
I would be willing to go in on a group order. It looks like spending 38 euros would get the order shipped free. I could spring for a three-pack and a pack of pencils, so that’s 16 euros down, 22 to go.
Well, I already blew my wad for the month. Merry Christmas to me, I just purchased a Travelers Notebook with a few accessories.
There is a stationer in San Francisco that carries them and right now you get a goodie bag with any purchase over $40. Well after the $100 I just blew on this I think I qualified. Gonna have to break down and put all of my books in a pile and send the shot in here :)
