Edition #36 Notes

Nim Ben-Reuven is the designer behind Saturnian Dawn, and his life's work is embedded in this edition through and through. He is known for his meticulous Spencerian lettering, detailed pattern illustrations, board game designs, and most of all his unabashedly honest messaging. I'm lucky to call Nim a friend, and beyond excited to have the best parts of his work adorn a Dapper Notes edition.

Nim is also the person behind The Cardboard Baby, an Instagram account dedicated to chronicling the life of an animated cardboard family. Over the years, the adventures of Cardboard Baby have entertained my family so much that we all got together to make miniature Cardboard Baby boxes (pictured) to ship each and every Saturnian Dawn order. Whether subscribing to the Bookhead Club or purchasing a single notebook, it'll be delivered to you in one of these boxes.

I asked Nim if he could share some thoughts on our collaboration. The following is his personal guarantee:
"With this notebook, you have become Destroyer of Limitations, Annihilator of Tasks, and Eviscerator of Expectations. Go forth into the Saturnian Dawn, oh Wielder of Notebook, and show 'em what's what."

Fray level: High

Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use. Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you gauge how much fraying to expect from your notebook. Read more about fabric covers

Orders are shipped within two business days. If I'm away for any reason, you'll see an announcement on the top of the website noting as such.

Some items are made to order, which you'll see noted in the product description. 

Once shipped, most domestic orders take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. International shipping delivery times may vary between 1 and 12 weeks.

Saturnian Dawn

Texture perfect

There’s something about the texture of fabric on a notebook that feels so NICE to use. It’s like this is not just a notebook, it’s a sensory object too.

In fact when picking materials with Nim, his choice was a twill fabric that had as much texture on it as possible.

A Cardboard Baby for everyone

Every single Saturnian Dawn order comes shipped inside a Cardboard Baby box, a miniature version of Nim's animated creation.

All in the details

Can you pinpoint what inspires you to write, to doodle, to journal your everyday? No matter the source, your Dapper Notes was made with extra care for all the little details, and is ready for you to capture life!

Reviews

Dapper notes are the antidote to the digital age. Every item is handcrafted, hand-sewn, and designed for maximum delight.

Teresa

Highest quality construction and materials, keen eye for detail, and delicious design, month after month.

Dana

Dapper Notes are the best quality pocket sized notebooks you can get. The textile cover and thread binding means the books will hold up through time. I love the thick paper as well; good for fountain pens.

I am a lover of texture, both visually and physically, so the different book covers are perfect for me!
