A: Of course! Each book has to start with a spark from someone. If you’re moved to spread gratitude, take the first step — write your thank-you, pass the book on, and watch the journey begin. A1000 notebooks can be found in select independent bookshops across London, and occasionally on the A1000 Thank Yous website. Keep an eye on our social media for updates on when new notebooks are available.

A: Each A1000 notebook comes with a unique QR code that allows the next person to log their location (by city) and time when they receive the book. This helps track its journey and creates a living map of gratitude.

A: There’s no set timeline. Some books move quickly, others take their time. The beauty is in how the book finds its way to the right hands.

A: Yes! Each A1000 book has a unique QR code. When it’s scanned, you can see where it’s been, who’s received it and when. It’s a way to connect with the book’s story and the people it has touched.

A: Yes, of course. If you're purchasing an A1000 as a gift, we’d be happy to include a handwritten note inside. Once you’ve purchased, just email us what you’d like it to say.

A: The whole magic of A 1000 Thank Yous lies in it being passed from person to person, with every thank you logged becoming part of its story. The books are designed to travel and we trust that most people, when they hold it in their hands and understand the beauty of what it represents, won’t want to be the reason a journey stops.

But life gets busy. People forget. So we’ve built in gentle nudges.

If a book hasn’t been scanned in two weeks, we message the last person who scanned it. We ask if they’ve passed it on yet, or if they could remind the person they gave it to to scan and send it forward. It’s a soft system of encouragement, enough to keep the journey going.

Ultimately, the project is built on trust in people, and so far we’ve been reminded again and again that most people want to be part of something meaningful and _don’t_ want to be the reason it stops.

A: A1000 is a quiet movement/revolution in human connection. It’s about gratitude, handwritten words, and the unexpected paths they take. Each book becomes a living thread between strangers — an invitation to pause, reflect, and pass something meaningful on.

A: Yes. A1000 is made with recycled paper, plastic-free packaging, and gentle inks.

A: Absolutely. If you’ve started or received multiple books, you can follow each journey through their unique QR codes.

A: Not at the moment. A1000 is growing slowly and intentionally. each book is hand made, it takes time and love, so we’re keeping things small for now. In the future, we would love to open up ways for groups or events to get involved.

A: Not at all. It can be a sentence, a word, a drawing, even a moment of silence on paper. What matters is the intention — the gesture. Gratitude takes many forms.

A: That’s okay. You can thank a stranger, a moment, a memory, the weather. anything that moved you. A1000 is about noticing the good and being thankful for it, no matter where it comes from.

A: The heart of A1000 is in the handwritten notes. The QR code is a way to witness the wider journey — a thread connecting each moment. It also helps others track the book’s movement, building a shared story across time and place.

A: Absolutely, if you want to. You always have a choice. You can write your name in the book — or not. You can include your name when logging the journey online — or remain unnamed. If you choose to upload a photo of your note to be part of the digital version of the book, you can still stay completely anonymous. But if you do choose to include your name, you may find wonderful connections with others who receive the book down the line. The world works in magical ways.
