Elia Tomoe River Notebook Review

[@alicesremedy9161]

Definitely worth it! This notebook is a must have! I Love the white paper, blank cover, 52 gsm TRP, stitch binding, enough pages to last without worry, great cardboard out sleeve... Perfect. Elia Note knows what's good.

[@leesukakopi]

Yay more people are reviewing this elia note book! I’m happy to see my local Malaysia product is going to places 😁

[@arguchik]

The Hippo Noto is "beefier" also because it uses the heavier 68gsm TRP. The Elia Note looks great - very similar to the Nanami Paper Seven Seas notebooks, which I love. The ruling on the lined notebook is smaller (6mm vs. Seven Seas 7mm) and the paper is ivory (closest to white) rather than the cream TRP in the Seven Seas notebooks. I'll definitely give this a look - thanks for your review!

[@kapirk2244]

Reminds me of the Seven Seas Nanami Writer notebook, with more pages though. I’ll have to look into this company. I do like having a lined journal. It is good to have options.

Can you please do a review on the hippo noto notebook?

[@barbarawest1205]

I love it that there are more TMR notebooks now than there used to be. I wish more companies would use 68gsm TRP. And I would love to find a square grid a6 with 68gsm. Closest approach is my beloved Taroko Design Enigma in a6 (and a5) but even that one only comes in dot grid and blank.

[@dianeandbrad529]

Barbara West I think more A6 squares grid TMR options would be great!!

[@barbarawest1205]

@@dianeandbrad529 Maybe we should start a write-in campaign! But it's the 68gsm that is really scarce in smaller sizes.

[@tes47]

You should mention how much shipping adds to the price!

[@BlueMel_MH]

Is there any paper that works with a Sharpie except for cardstock? Looks like a great notebook and I love TRP.

[@jerryratajesak5526]

Thank you for the review and I’m excited to try out for myself!

[@driesindesteege2990]

Love you back! I really enjoy your reviews as you don't shy away from expressing your subjective opinion and experiences.

[@nrstooge]

Looks identical to Nanami Seas notebook.. which I have and LOVE.

[@jacobus57]

Love snow, and really miss it. And I really love these notebooks, and look forward to getting one. Seems like the best deal out there! Thanks for this review :)

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I love snow! (Maybe a good thing, since I live in North Dakota.) Interesting notebook. I've used one or two smaller notebooks with this paper, never one this large. Tempting!

[@johnnvogt]

I wish I picked this up over the nanami notebook I purchased awhile back. The paper is great buttttt the lines are damn near invisible and I’m not looking to write in a dot or blank notebook. I like seeing the lines so my writing remains straight and even. Gonna def pick this up.

[@evaninker8455]

Thanks Kerry for your review. I am wondering how does Elia Notebook stack up against the A5 Leuchtturm notebooks? Many Thanks!

[@PensandTea]

I much prefer Elia. Paper is MUCH more reliable. Tad bit more ghosting due to the thinness of it but doesn’t feather as much as L

[@evaninker8455]

@@PensandTea Thank you Kerry.

[@evaninker8455]

@@PensandTea Hi Kerry, Took your advice and ordered the Elia Note. Should be here by the weekend. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@Weesc]

Great review. Thanks! I live in Thailand, and Malaysia is right next door - so should be easier to acquire.

[@KB-cx2dr]

Great review, thanks a lot.

[@sailcat9]

In a more coffee-related vein, I'd like to see your opinions of the Aeropress coffee press. In any event, thank you for another excellent video and a very happy holiday season to you!

[@PensandTea]

I’ll put it on my list!

[@hw4me678]

Ughhh. I hate snow....Thx for your review....Your THE Best....

[@phillipstroll7385]

If you love it so much then why didn't you buy it? And why is it crinkled?

[@dianeandbrad529]

I'm checking out the website but wondering how much shipping is to the US?

[@shirasadiky3378]

I would but shipping makes it $50...:(

[@fernandolezama7668]

this notebook is always "Sold Out"

[@PensandTea]

I’ve reached out to them to see what’s up 👍🏻

[@spacecat7715]

Went on the website to look for a notebook, but what currency is it? I was expecting American dollars or something.

[@PensandTea]

You can change the currency in the drop down menu on the top right side of the screen

[@spacecat7715]

@@PensandTea thank you. Didn't think to do that. Whoops.

[@cbronoord]

Snow... what is that? Last time it really snowed here, was... 2 or 3 years ago

[@PensandTea]

I wish! Haha

[@nelsondcunha3156]

You are sooo cute and here in my country only snow in one place I think...

[@hagmarken]

52 gsm sounds very thin. Most notebooks are 80 gsm.

[@PensandTea]

With Tomoe River, the gsm rule doesn’t really apply in the typical way hahaha. It is thin so you will see some ghosting but it never feathers like “typical” paper would at that gsm

[@anguswhite8233]

Grr: we can’t get this in UK: not thro’ Amazon nor eBay

[@TheDireWookie]

You can order it direct from Elia, but the postage is about £10...

[@curtism5333]

You could go here as well. You’ll not be getting Elia but it’s pretty much identical. www.nanamipaper.com/categories/tomoe-river-paper.html

[@crisyorke1328]

I like Rhodia better better it is made in France.

[@robp.7769]

Can't use a Sharpie -- Donald Trump would not approve. LOL
