Looks good. Any plans on making them stitch bound instead of staple bound?

 

Hi ExcaliburZ,

The Hitlist books are saddle stitched (stapled) as that is the only method I have available "in house".

I can't wait to get my hands on the final package! I've already got a review up of the prototype which can be found here. Great notebooks!

Need a pen repaired or a nib re-ground? I'd love to help you out.

while we are waiting for the website to be completed I would be happy to send out a Hitlist to interested members who have not tried one yet. PM your mailing address to me and I will pop one in the mail.

 

To those that haven't tried these, I'd recommend taking Curt up on his very generous offer. These little notebooks are nicer (more functional) than you'd expect.

 

I am a bit late to this but I did send out a PM.

 

Simplistic design, thick 118g paper, fp friendly, opens wide and no lines... Sounds perfect to me.

 

Cheers,

rj

Free samples? What to the UK? LOL

I would love one but cannot ask nor expect a free one sent here. I look forward to the website being ready as I love the look of these and some good reviews on here. That very simple pen slot is superb.

Nice job!

Hi Folks,

I want to let you know that our website is not ready yet. We are learning as we go and it is taking longer than I had anticipated. After the website is finished our financial institution that will be handling secure payments must do there approval which can take up to 2 weeks.

 

I can let everyone know I plan to offer the books for sale in bundles of 5 books as the photo below. They will come shrink wrapped with a long lasting silicone band so you can store the books together when finished. We are also just finishing a new and higher quality run of Hitlist's. I changed the black ink on the cover to a special UV ink that will resist fading over time. Also added is a matte varnish to the inside cover to eliminate some marking that was happening. The box that you add your information to is not varnished for writability.

 

I am sorry for the delay and will give a new projected release date in the next few days.

I just got mine in today's mail and it is the perfect size - fits like a glove in an inside blazer pocket. Great design, waiting for a "launch" date for the website!

I too am hungrily awaiting the website! I've completely stopped using Clairefontaine (for issues which I will not attempt to describe for fear of causing an argument... rolleyes.gif ) and I'm almost done with my CTF hitlist notebook. I'm filling it up fast because I just love writing in it!

 

Can't wait to stock up! I just hope there's enough to go around... unsure.gif

I'm already setting some money aside for a hopeful purchase next week or the week after if the website is up :) these little things are perfect for me.

 

hopefully, in the future and if this is a success, which I believe it will be, I hope you make one that is a little larger with some different bindings.

 

either way, i'm on the train writing in it now! LOVE HITLIST!

Hello Everyone,

 

 

Thanks to all for the recent positive comments, I am happy that you are, like me, enjoying your Hitlists!

 

The website is almost finished, we are now in the process of integrating UPS software so you can choose your shipping method. You can see what has been done so far at hitlistbooks.com Please keep in mind there are still some typos to be fixed. As I mention a little while ago this process is taking longer than I had expected and because the 5 packs are ready to find homes I want to offer them for sale asap. I am going to finalise pricing today for 1,2 and 3 or more packs and also give some estimates to mail through Canada Post as that seems to be working well with the samples I have been sending (still some left if anyone wants to try). I hope to have this information to everyone later tonight or tomorrow morning.

I've received my sample HitList - Thanks, CTF!

 

A very nice little book, indeed; good construction; great paper for FPs and "gentle" watercolor.

 

And the "Dock" feature is simple, elegant, and extremely useful - great idea! - One of those: "Ah-ha!" ideas that slips by many of us (i.e., myself).

 

Please keep us / FPN informed of the progress on the Website; and Best of Luck to you with this Venture.

 

Regards,

David.

Yesterday's mail included a small packet from an unfamiliar address - and behold, the Hitlist. Nicely packaged, fits perfectly in the side pocket of handbag, and if you carry your notebook in a pocket instead, it's obviously just the right size for that. Pages large enough to write good notes, nice paper as noted by others. Cover heavy enough to keep it intact but not too thick to make it bulky. And my favorite feature - that white strip along the edge where you write subject and date so you can file your used notebooks somewhere and just look at the covers, rather than open each notebook and scan through it, to find old notes. Very nice! CTF, I should think you will have no trouble selling out the first production run right here on FPN.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
