I have recently signed up on the kickstarter page for a new
notebook - Eighty Pages!
What is Eighty Pages?
"Eighty pages" is a company selling limited
edition, made in New York City, soft and hard cover pocket notebooks with a
minimalist approach.
They are a small team based out of Brooklyn, NY with a
passion for design and bookbinding.
Their goal is simply to provide quality notebooks, made in
their home town of New York, with an emphasis on simplicity and design. I haven't received mine yet, but they claim
that they want these notebooks to last so they use a very strong waxed linen
thread and durable cover stocks. This is a design project, and they promise to
have lots more in store if funded, and they have already achieved their Kickstarter
target so stay tuned!
How big are the
notebooks?
Each of the notebooks are 80 pages in length (I wonder where
the name comes from?), measure approximately 3.5'' x 5.5'' and have a unique
serial number. The first number indicates the volume number, and the second
indicates the production number. Currently, the notebooks are produced with
plain paper, but they promise that they will likely release lined and graph
versions in future releases. No two volumes will be the same!
The first 4 volumes are only available through Kickstarter
Page. They will release Volume 5 on their website sometime in February.
Additionally, if everything goes well, they plan on releasing two new limited
edition notebook designs every month.
The Kickstarter campaign ends on January 25th. I'm looking
forward to seeing how these develop.
