Hi, my name's Damian!
I'm a chemistry teacher and during lockdown I wanted to design a notebook for myself that reflected my passion for science.
Then my friends asked for one. Then friends of friends. Then dozens of people I didn't know.
Since then we’ve sold over 30,000 notebooks which we're proud to say are made entirely in the UK and are of the highest quality - I'm confident you'll love writing in them.
Thanks for reading and please message if you’ve any questions,
Damian

It's our most-gifted product. It arrives in protective packaging, looks impressive immediately, and the Katherine Johnson cover art consistently lands well with anyone who takes space seriously.

I bought two different note books, this being one of them. This one is going to be my allotment diary for the coming year (which has already started). I particularly liked the fact that you can choose your paper - I went for blank because as well as writing I will be sticking photos and plans in the book and possibly will also be doing drawings and paintings. I also intend to write with a fountain pen as I want this record to be a bit special. The paper is good quality and the ink does not show through - I need to be a bit more patient and let it dry! I am delighted with my purchases which though on the the expensive side are quality products.

Amazing design, lovely to look at and use! Defo worth it!

Stunning note-book. I’ve bought a couple for my wife, who is a teacher, and I have a couple myself (I’m a librarian). Lovely, thick, smooth pages, and I am always pleased with the covers. Nothing negative to say about them. Great work. ⭐️
C
Really great quality notebooks. The covers appeal to me as a molecular biologist and general nerd. The paper is a good weight and a nice bright white which works well with my fountain pens and shows off my blue ink beautifully. I use these notebooks for my work taking notes and working out formulas and calculations. Fantastic, can’t recommend enough.

Great notebook, bought as a gift. They love it!

arrived perfectly packaged from the UK, how awesome is that! it's the perfect size and the artwork is inspiring. I purchased the Botany book due to a recent interest in the subject. It makes me grin every time I pick it up. nice ribbon bookmark and love the end pages with more scientific sketches. Well done Atoms to Astronauts!!!

I was buying one of the other notebooks for my son and decided to treat myself as well as I get through quite a few notebooks in my work.
I am not in a science field so chose the botany design because I am a keen gardener. I love the quality of these notebooks and the elegantly designed covers. More cover designs in different colours please.
L
I like how well made these notebooks are. They feel and look high quality. The designs on the cover are brilliant.
S
I’m loving this. Great to be able to choose whether you want lined, blank or graph paper inside. And the paper quality is good - no bleed through yet and I’ve used watercolour paints, marker pens and pencils. I’m happy. 😃
S
Bought two - one for myself and one for my bestie… we love our new notebooks!
Dots for me - I’ll use it for bullet journaling probs… and squares for my best friend.
with the addition of a free pocket notebook that was indeed a happy unboxing ☺️

Perfect for my note taking. The quality is excellent, my fountain pen writes beautifully on the paper and the design is even more stunning in real life.
