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’ve been searching for the right notebook to use for my next journal, this one is just right.
Great size, gorgeous colour & soft cover. The pages are just the right thickness for the pens I like to use.
It came beautifully wrapped. I’ll definitely buy again.
I bought the notebooks as gifts so didn’t want to disturb the nice wrapping to look at them properly but I wanted to write a review as a compliment to the excellent service that I received. Thank you.

Finally I have found a planner that gives me all I need - a monthly overview, 2 pages for each week as well with plenty of space for lists of things to do and notes and whatever you want to write for each day. PLUS pages at the back for more notes! Lovely cover and good quality paper. Well done!
Much more fun and meaningful than something saccharin and cheesy
Favourite ever notebooks, gorgeous colours and excellent quality for my fountain pen obsession! Used them for years for my morning pages and can’t wait to buy the A6 size.
I've bought about 4 of these notebooks to journal in and I absolutely adore them. They are beautiful in design, with high-quality paper and seem to last forever. More colours would be fantastic!
....but a lovely pencil. I bought it for my choir music file, haven't had a chance to use it yet but looks excellent
Love the design of this pocket pencil. So lightweight & just fits beautifully in my hand. Will be purchasing more.
Perfect size and layout for all my diary needs. Gorgeous quality of paper and a perfect lavender blue. Love it
It’s the perfect black fineliner!
Best shopping ever! I bought the same item from their official website before, but the product page had many flaws and the price was very high.
This time, I was surprised by how quickly and smoothly the delivery arrived, especially since receiving packages at my house is difficult. The the price was affordable. Although I chose premium shipping, I used a half-price coupon when I bought it, making it cheaper than the official website.
Most importantly, Papersmiths' quality is excellent, everything is just perfect. Can you believe they even wrapped it and included a handwritten greeting card with my name on it! It definitely made my day and will probably make my year. These small details and kindness are more precious than anything else.
I love this planner- last year I used another and didn’t accomplish as many goals as I normally do when I use the daily goal digger. I’m so pleased I got a 2026 version. Excellent quality, with goal setting and reflection for daily life and big picture goals. It looks handsome in black. Also Papersmiths is the best place to purchase - super fast delivery and a hand written note- just lovely- it’s never too late to ditch your current system and get one that actually works for you!
I wanted to stop buying reusable pens so bought a cost effective fountain pen and this does the job perfectly. It is nicely designed, small and neat and writes beautifully. I am using the ink cartridge but also bought the converter to use just ink. Very pleased with it.
I've been buying MiGoals diaries for 6 years and I love them. The prompts at the beginning are very helpful to plan my goals for the year ahead.
Amazing planner! I'm going into 2026 with excitment that some big goals are going to be smashed.
This planner is just perfect. The layout works really well, it’s lovely quality too. Really nice touch with a personalised thank you card inside and a message of thanks via Instagram. Will definitely use Papersmiths again.
I buy one of these diaries each year. They fit in a pocket or handbag. The monthly planner is very helpful. The plastic wallet is especially helpful for putting tickets/ booking confirmations in when planning ahead. Useful in places where internet or phone connection unreliable. Layout of week and hours useful for recording time spent on tasks. In an ever changing appointment landscape, easy to jot down potential meetings and confirm later. One possible improvement - a small pencil to fit in the pocket or the spine.
