Project Update: Giveaway. Pencil Question. Interest in other titles?

1. Hey. Two weeks in!

2. We're going to give away a spare "Chemistry in Daily Life" notebook and a spare "This Wonderful Universe" notebook. We received the samples with the spot UV and they look great, and we want you to get an early taste.

Basically, we will randomly select from the pool of backers who have a gold badge status.
If you go to the project main page and select community, you'll be able to see the leaderboard and what status you have. This giveaway will finish the day before the project ends on Monday November 16th. We will ship it immediately!

3. If you ordered a pencil, please vote on the text that you want on the pencil. I'm open to suggestions. See the poll below!

4. If you're familiar with my brand, Novelbookstore.co, and all the 60-something titles that we offer... would you be interested in a future where we offer these titles in the size and style of these pocket notebooks? If so which titles? I will make a poll before this project ends so that I can gauge interest. But only if there is interest in the idea. 

5. Thanks for engaging and chatting. I am thankful for you all.

Fare thee well

Project Update: Funded! A thank you AND a surprise for you.

You are a future holder of a Curious Volume !

Thank you. I hold a fondness for you, for being apart of this project from the very beginning.

I decided to make the journals even more tantalizing.

I will gift a new feature to all of the notebooks.

YOU will vote on which original artwork will go on the endpage of each book. I will organize all the prospective art and make a poll in the coming weeks. For a better idea of what artwork I'm talking about, take a look at this page I made for you. It offers a preview as well as links to the original digitized books. In many ways its the heart of the project!

Also observe these below examples!

Thank you friend.

Project Update: Day 1 complete! 🙏 Vote on the quotable moment from the film.

Hello fellow romantics.

Thank you for joining the project! Seriously thank you. We are well on our way to meeting our goal.

I am excited about the add-ons and the unlockables. I will post some updates regarding the pencil in particular so that you get a better idea about what to expect. Please share this project so we can get these unlockables unlocked!

I have an idea. 

Vote on the most quotable moment from the film and I will stick it somewhere. Maybe a few places, who knows? 😏

Project Update: Whats your pre-modern romantic longing?

Now you might say, all of it. Thats fair. But lets get into the gritty of it.

I will contribute thus: night-life by candlelight and lantern. Long flickering shadows, and a warm bath of golden light. My pipe and a book in my tall backed chair in the sitting room. Tired eyes drift to sleep by firelight.

Yes thankfully I can recreate that to an extent. But imagine an entire world constrained by the absence of the sun.

So what's yours?

Project Update: Welcome old souls

Well, I went and found a bunch of old books you ain't heard of.

Welcome to the project! Thank you for being here. I value your voice and comments. If these notebooks tickle you like they do me, I am sure we would be fast friends. 

I'm always fixing to root myself in what you might call an earthy lifestyle. So naturally, I fancied these 10 pre-modern hobbyist/learning manuals. They transported me back to their time. And let me tell ya. The covers of these notebooks are as quaint as can be.

You can follow this project by selecting "count me in", then, "reserve your pledge" for $5. If you do....

I have some goodies for ya.

You will get digital access to all the books. You can step into history! Also you will get access to some delightful phone wallpapers and an important BTS sneak peak. Lastly, you will secure a mystery bookwallet. Thats roughly 80% off. (This reservation offer is only available in pre launch!)

Goodbye for now

Behold! Science.
