Product description
We named this one Calypso, after the sea goddess of the mythical island of Ogygia. As the sun sets over the Greek islands, the sky turns pink, the ocean deepens in colour and Calypso comes alive.
Calypso is a teal A5 notebook with 236 pages. Choose dot grid, ruled or plain pages.
The notebook begins with a simple printed bookplate for dedicating to your pal, or putting your reward and contact information. We've all got to do our bit to help lost notebooks find their way back home.
Two contents pages and numbered pages throughout allow for easy navigation. As you move through the notebook, the page numbers gradually change colour, taking you through the spectrum.
The notebook contains 100gsm smooth, fountain pen friendly paper stock with minimal show through. It's suitable for use with highlighters, rollerballs, markers, brush pens, ballpoints and ink pens, as well as graphite and coloured pencils. We've tested numerous markers including Tombow (Dual Brush, Twin Tone, Fudenosuke), Faber-Castell Pitt, Pentel Sign and Brush Pens, 20+ black brush pens and various drawing pens. We were able to use both sides of every sheet. Tougher alcohol based markers will show through more easily, for example the Windsor and Newton Promarker.
We’ve used lay flat binding so the notebook opens without forcing the spine. This binding method backlines the inner pages within the spine, leaving them free to move. The cover is bound on with front and rear hinges only.
The cover is subtly blind embossed with ‘Papersmiths’ on the back and a satisfying thumb print sized monogram to the front.

I look forward to my annual purchase of a new diary and this one did not disappoint! I love the cool front cover and really appreciate all the space and notes pages inside
It’s really handy for clipping to any book or journal, I don’t have to hunt around for a pen
Love the layout and cover.
Love the colour, the paper quality, but most of all the design! It’s almost exactly what I’ve created for myself in my journal which will save me so much time next year .. can’t wait to start using it!
my go to every year!
Have used these diaries for several years and love them. Prompt delivery and packaged nicely.
Unique products and amazing online service!
Following a delivery issue, the staff at Papersmiths were very helpful in resolving the issue and kept me updated throughout.
Love the product which is a gift for a friend and will definitely purchase from these guys again.
Honestly I have been looking for a hardbound fabric notebook that is lined with 6mm ruling for a long time so I was ecstatic when I found this. The pages lay flat and the notebook is really durable and a pleasure to use.
There is slight bleed through when using larger nib size fountain pens but using a fine nib there is no problem. I only wished the paper was like an off white/cream colour rather than the bright white paper colour but that's just my preference.
Cartridges for my much-loved Kaweco Sport fountain pen in black and orange (my favourite of the Kaweco ink colours) arrived very quickly, as always, thank you!
After a birthday trip to Brighton my wife and I stumbled upon paoersmiths. They are and continue to be her preferred stationery of choice. Great colours, finishes and writes. Whenever she starts a new project it'll be a new book and a new pen. Anything that pleases my wife this much deserves a review.
