Purple Pressurised Space Pen Refill

£3.50

Another popular colour! This purple ink, medium point Space Pen refill has exactly the same point as on the refill that comes with new Space Pens, so if you're happy with the width of your Space Pen's writing line as it is now and just want a funkier colour, then this is the refill for you!

The Space Pen purple refill will fit all Space Pens from the 400, 600 and 800 series of pens (including the Bullet Space Pen), but not multi-action Space Pens.

The refill also comes with a free adaptor that enables use with Parker Jotter ballpoint pens.

CIAK Large Black Ruled Journal/Notebook

£15.95

The superb CIAK notebook. Black leather with archival quality ivory ruled paper. 15x21cm (A5). Patented horizontal elastic band secures any pen tightly against your notebook. CIAK journals and notebooks are made in Italy.

Italian Bonded Leather

Made from smooth soft Italian bonded leather, the CIAK's cover is firm yet flexible, which makes it an excellent alternative to a hardback cover. The use of bonded leather also makes CIAK notebooks very durable - ideal for everyday use.

Archival Quality, Acid Free Paper

There are 140 pages of permanently bound, college ruled cream paper that is perfect for fountain pen ink as well as ballpoints. The paper is archival quality and acid free and takes ink with no feathering or showthrough.

A Unique Leather Notebook

But that's where the conventional notebook ends.

Handmade in Florence, Italy, the CIAK notebook is a leather journal with a difference. CIAK features a patent protected horizontal elastic band, one major advantage of which is that a pen can be securely fastened to the notebook without fear of loss or damage. We've tried this with a variety of pens of different sizes ranging from a Pilot G2 to a Mont Blanc and the CIAK secured each one perfectly.

This is something that is simply impossible with any other notebook, due to their conventional vertical elastic bands. A quick look at the various Moleskine hacks on the Internet demonstrates the usefulness and value of having a pen attached to the notebook in this way.

The CIAK Range

The CIAK range is comprehensive and provides for user choice in virtually all elements of the notebook:

Sizes: 9x13cm, 12x17cm, 15x21cm (A5)
Colours: Black, red, blue, burnt orange, yellow.
Paper types: Ruled cream paper, plain cream paper, squared cream paper, plain white paper, multicolour ruled paper, address book, daily and weekly diary.

As well as the classic range of notebooks, the CIAK range also includes the CIAK Golf notebook, CIAK Travel notebook, CIAK Pocket slim notebook and CIAK Design themed notebook, which are all also available from The Journal Shop.

Product News and Updates

New CIAK Colours Now Available

The new CIAK colours are in! There are three new colours in total: royal blue, burnt orange and yellow. The current blue, tan and green will all be discontinued and we will not be receiving any more of these colours, so please stock up if you are fond of any of these.

C.OVER NOTES just added - 26/02/08

Just added, the C.OVER NOTES (pronounced "See Over") is a refillable multipaper notebook. It comes pre-filled with plain paper, and each insert is independently refillable, so you have three sections to play around with.

20% off pre-orders until the end of the month - enter the code COVERLOVE at the checkout when purchasing any C.OVER products.

New Cartesio Notebooks available for pre-order - 19/02/08

We've had these on the website for a few days now, but due to a few requests we've received, we're now making the Cartesio notebooks available for pre-order.

Named for the Latinized form of the name of the great French philosopher and mathematician, René Descartes (1596-1650), the Cartesio notebook has at its heart his most famous expression, "Cogito ergo sum." I think therefore I am.

The poster's statement "Il mondo dei tuoi pensieri in un taccuino" translates to "The world of your thoughts, in a notebook."

C.OVER Notebooks and Planners - 15/02/08

Have you ever wanted a notebook with ruled, plain and squared paper? How about any combination of the above? How about just one of the above, but being able to refill endlessly? How about a 6 month planner, address book and notepaper? If you said yes to any of the above, C.OVER might be perfect for you. We'll be introducing C.OVER to our website over the next couple of weeks, so visit the C.OVER pages to get a taste of what you can expect from the product. There are a whole range of colours, materials and formats to choose from, which we know you're going to love.

Speaking of which, we're still a little loved up from our Valentine' Day, so we're going to give all those who want to pre-order a lovely 20% discount. We'll dispatch as soon as they arrive. The code you need to use at checkout is COVERLOVE and it expires in exactly two weeks.

CIAK Update 05/02/08

A quick update for the CIAK enthusiasts out there. The new colours have been confirmed and there are six in total: black, blue, pink, red, burnt orange and yellow. The green and light purple in the image will not be produced.

Brand new Mercedes-Benz pens added - 18/01/08

We have just added Mercedes-Benz writing instruments to the store for all those who are fans of the marque. Finished in lacquer from a choice of four typically classy colours, there are four different writing implements to choose from (fountain, ballpoint, rollerball and pencil), so there's bound to be one that'll be perfect for the Mercedes enthusiast in your life.

Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?

CIAK range gets a makeover for 2008! - 18/01/08

Huge news for CIAK fans - the product range is getting a makeover. Say goodbye to the tan, green and classic blue coloured covers (the tan will definitely be missed) and say hello to yellow, burnt orange and navy, respectively. That should shake things up a bit!

If you're a fan of any of the aforementioned outgoing colours, make sure you stock up, as they will not be available again for the foreseeable future.

And there's more - a brand new paper type. As well as ruled ivory paper, CIAK will soon be available in plain ivory paper. Existing CIAK users out there may have found the current plain white paper suitable for sketching but a little less aesthetically pleasing than ivory paper for writing on, so we think the new plain ivory paper will be welcomed by users.

As well as all that, there'll also be two new styles of notebook - the CIAK Golf and CIAK Travel notebooks. The CIAK Golf is basically a slimline CIAK Pocket with preprinted paper that allows you to (hopefully) see how well your game has improved, while the CIAK Travel notebook has preprinted data pages and ivory pages with an even split of ruled and plain for writing and sketching on your travels around the world.

We'll make the complete range available as soon as it is released. If you want to register your interest, drop us a line and we'll let you know as soon as they arrive.

Moleskine notebooks now available in soft cover - 15/01/08

Moleskine notebooks are now available with a soft, flexible cover. They look and feel exactly like the classic hardback Moleskine notebooks (although they are slightly slimmer, having fewer pages). We've started with the large ruled and will add more as they come in. Available now in the Moleskine section of the store.

CIAK 2008 Diaries

UPDATE 18/01/08 - Our CIAK 2008 diaries are now nearly sold out and the remaining stock is only in limited colours.

Drumroll, please! We've lost count of the number of requests we've had for these, so we're finally pleased to announce that the CIAK 2008 diaries will be ready for dispatch from 22nd October and are available for order now.
