Moving to it's own thread... I was thinking of mailing little 'cahier' style 30-60 page soft cover notebooks, in either an envelope, bubble mailer, or cardboard mailer. Moleskine used to make Postal Notebooks in two sizes: one that was one ounce and 5x7 inches, and a smaller 9x14cm (Field Notes size) that can go at a 20g rate. I had one of the larger, and still have one of the smaller ones. Each had eight pages of paper, though it was the standard Moleskine paper that doesn't take fountain pens well. They were expensive, and are not very easy to use. www.notebookstories.com/2013/08/26/moleskine-postal-notebook/Sounds interesting, if expensive. The 60 page pack I got was 36 for $16. Dunno if the paper is decent, but I'm using more pencil these days so not worried. If I ever get around to writing in them. I also have lots of fine, dry-ish, nibs and not very feathery inks. Using the USPS rate calculator, after knowing what to put in, I get 1oz mailer: $1.19 USA, $2.11 USA to UK (non-machinable for 'rigid contents') 2oz mailer: $1.47 USA, $3.44 USA to UK (+ 2nd oz) I think the book plus 6.5x4.5 mailer should be under 2oz.

I’ve thought about this, how fun it would be to have the back-and-forth all together in a single notebook.
