    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

    Useful for many purposes!

    I was first attracted to these notebooks as I have worked in science and education all my life and just love a squared notebook. These are robust and have great quality paper. This one is going to be used in my retirement for knitting notes, patterns and designs - absolutely perfect!

    Great Look, Great Function

    I like how the notepad cover makes me look clever 🧐. It's also great functionality wise given the hard cover, the integrated bookmark, the dotted grid and the fact it opens fully, without having to force it.

    Incredible!

    I bought this notebook as a gift and I must say, I am blown away! The order arrived promptly, greatly packaged, with excellent communication from the seller at every step (always appreciated when buying from somewhere new!). As for the notebook itself, the beautiful and unique design speaks for itself, the quality of the notebook is simply exceptional and I particularly enjoy the thoughtful touches such as the bookmark ribbon and diagrammed front/back cover inlays too.
    I will certainly be purchasing from Atoms to Astronauts again, and will be recommending this unique online store to anyone and everyone going forward! Would give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you!

    Fantastic Notebook!

    A superb quality notebook. The quality of the paper is fantastic - works really well with fountain pens and ink. No ghosting or feathering with the inks I have used. The design of the notebook is brilliant, a conversation starter, especially as a physics teacher. I look forward to seeing future designs.

    Thanks Jamie - love this review! THanks for leaving it.

    The diagrams are excellent - my favourites probably being those for doppler shift, and onset of turbulence in fluid flow past a cylinder - and they’re genuine physics, rather than look-a-likes. The notebook itself is quality. Ink doesn’t bleed on the pages, and the rulings aren’t too dark (just a personal preference of mine).
    Detail for anyone who wants to know: the pages have a slightly yellowish hue to them (comparable to a paperblanks notebook), which fits the style well.

    Eleanor, this goes down as my favourite review yet. Thanks so much for writing it and I'm delighted you like the notebook

    Love these notebooks! I found them online, and thought they would make perfect Christmas gifts. My husband came across them, too, and mentioned he liked the design. Guess great minds think alike ;) I think he's really going to like it in person.

    Classical Physics A5 Hardcover Notebook

    Amazing! It's much better quality than I was expecting and it works great for taking notes in class. Would be nice to have a bigger size, but that's my only suggestion. I will be buying more when I fill this one up.
