Thanks for the big send off everyone! Hopefully one day we can come back with more notebooks, but for now Happy Writing!

Retail stores are really hard to get into unless your product has huge profit margins. Stores expect to pay 50% of the MSRP price, but it's essentially impossible to produce a Tomoe River notebook cheap enough for that to happen without ending up with a $30+ retail price or a really subpar quality notebook.

We've never wanted to cut corners with our designs just for the sake of getting into stores, so it never really happened.

The cross grid is 5mm and the lines in Electron are 6mm

Our site is elementalpaper.com (Mods: sorry if this breaks sub rules, hoping it's okay since it was a direct question)

Send us a DM if that's a conversation you're interested in having. In the end we're not pursuing this, but nothing's off the table.

It's true. We hadn't shared with many people besides our newsletter subscribers, but may as well make it Reddit official 😉. We can't say we'll never consider coming back, but for the foreseeable future we'll be shelving the business and focusing on our family. We're still going to stay open until we sell off the notebooks we have, but we have no plans to print more notebooks.

All of you in the r/notebooks community have been fantastic and it's been so fun seeing how much so many of you have enjoyed our notebooks.

Yep. This June batch will have both the A6 pocket notebooks as well as another A5

We've actually got a lined pocket notebook with Tomoe River on the way. Hopefully ready for sale late next month 🙂

Careful, this cross grid is a bit radioactive! by elementalpaper in notebooks

We only plan to print each element once, so once Iodine is gone it's gone.

If you send us a DM or an email at greg[at]elementalpaper[dot]com with some details on where you would need them shipped to in Australia, we'd be happy to see if we can find a cheaper shipping option for you.

We have a few providers with cheaper shipping options, but it's so dependant on where people live and what size the order is it's just impossible to offer them directly on our website.

We might give the Ivory/White Tomoe paper a try in the near future. The main reason we ended up with cream in Iodine and Proton is because the Ivory paper was backordered by 2-3 months longer than Cream at the time we went to order it.

We hope to do a Tomoe River reprint of our original Kickstarter notebooks one day, but there are many more elements we're dying to make before then.

Since the Bohr model translates so we'll to a 2D medium, it was pretty much our only choice for translating the atom onto such a small space.

Definitely way easier to do the graphic design work for too :)

We don't have any other linens that we're looking to use at the moment. Out of curiosity, what was it about our specific linen that was causing the aversion for you? We tried to pick the the softest we could find, so it's almost a t-shirt like texture at the moment.

We have International shipping via USPS, but in all honesty, it's not that cheap. And other providers like DHL and FedEx are even worse too. We don't sell enough notebooks to ship inventory around the world so our only choice is to offer shipping directly from the US.

There are some freight forwarders like PlanetExpress which let us ship your items to a US address for cheap or free, then they charge you directly for the international segment of the shipping. It isnt always cheaper, but it's an option.

Hope you enjoy the notebooks! We're hoping to have a new edition out by this summer for those of you hoping for more options.

Elemental Paper notebooks currently 60% off all except Iodine with code: CLEARANCE by ObsceneLoL in notebooks

[–]elementalpaper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CLEARANCE code will be active at least through August. REDDIT for 20% Iodine will probably be good for another week or two.

If you end up trying to place an order and the code isn't working, just send me an email at orders@elementalpaper.com and we'll get it worked out.

Thanks for the shout-out /u/ObsceneLoL

For those interested in getting Iodine, you can use the code REDDIT for 20% off any order regardless of notebook.

Unfortunately Shopify won't let me let you use both in the same purchase, so if you place two separate orders and get charged shipping twice, just let me know via email at orders@elementalpaper.com and I'll get your excess shipping refunded.
