I’ve put in several hours of work into my custom notebook since posting my prototypes (check my post history if you missed it, see prototype photos here) and I’m ready to put a small batch of handmade notebooks into real-world pockets for testing and feedback.

I’m looking for about 10 people willing to field test a 48-page, 3.5" × 5.5" hand-stitched notebook and give honest feedback. I'm not a company and this is not a Kickstarter. I'm just a guy with a vision and am making this up as I go. Cost below covers shipping and material cost and not much more than that. Each notebook literally takes me about 30 minutes work so believe me, I'm not getting rich off of this! 

Cost (shipping included from Canada):
🇺🇸 $8 USD
🇨🇦 $10 CAD

This is an early test run. I care about refining this properly, so I’m looking for thoughtful feedback on the experience, which includes you selecting some custom options for page layout, and also things like:
Paper performance (especially fountain pens)
Layout usability
Binding durability
Pocket carry wear
What you’d change

If you’re interested, comment or DM with:
USA or Canada
What writing tools you use
How you typically use pocket notebooks
I’ll follow up with full details for those who grab a spot.
I want this to earn its place in your pocket, not just look good on a desk (though it would look good!)
