Testers Needed For Some New Notebooks


ajzeller

Recommended Posts

I'm coming out with a new brand of notebooks: Furrow Books. They come in two sizes, small and large and contain 48 and 96 pages respectively.

The pages are blank but include a two-sided ruled insert which provides users the option for blank, lined, or graph ruling anywhere throughout their notebook. We also selected a paper that's fountain pen friendly.

 

I'm looking for testers to send some notebooks to once I get the mock-ups in tomorrow (Thursday) and get some feedback from. If you'd be interested in trying out the notebooks or would just like more information about them, you can check them out via this link: http://www.FurrowBooks.com

 

I'll be accepting applications for testers through tomorrow evening, then making selections over the weekend and sending out packages early next week. This is open to people worldwide (wherever USPS ships to).

 

Thanks!

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

I like the features you're shooting for in the notebook. Wish I could (in good conscience) apply to beta test them -- but, realistically, I won't have the time or energy to do it justice until the summer. I look forward to reading about others' impressions and (hopefully) ordering one once my life is slightly less hectic.

Application sent. Love the idea, and have some time to tinker with this. This kind of testing is up my alley.

Applied. I'll make time to try out a notebook.

I applied, and hope I'll be selected to add yet another fountainpenfriendly notebook to my booming collection. I do hope a fatter one will also be available. You can never have too many pages.

This possibility is making me realize that even more than a fountainpen freak I am a paper and notebook freak. Wow.

Like the idea, but I'm not applying -- I have too many random notebooks kicking around, and I tend to prefer ones with more pages. But good luck in the endeavor.

Thanks to everyone that's submitted an application to test out these notebooks - I've already received more applications that I'll be getting notebooks in, so I'll be making decisions this weekend :)

 

There's still a few hours left to get your applications in, if you haven't yet. I'll be closing the form later tonight.

 

I'm heading out to pick up the mock-ups in a few hours and am so excited to finally get to actually hold what I've been working on for so long!

I got the mock-ups in earlier today and now have about 50 notebooks to send out next week. I've received over 320 applications (well over the amount I anticipated) so I'll be making quite a few decisions this weekend.

 

Thanks to all those who've checked out the site and applied for the program

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
