Here’s an interesting post from Patrick Ng, contemplating all his needs for what would embody the perfect notebook. He’s actually looking into having it manufactured!

I’ve spent lots of time thinking about what a perfect notebook would be. The concept has evolved over time: I used to prefer a Filofax-type binder with lots of varied pages within. This still appeals to me, but I abandoned Filofaxes once I started using electronic PDAs. Now I’m more into the permanence of Moleskine-type notebooks… and I do love them… but are they perfect? Perhaps I can never quite call any single one of them perfect because I like so many different elements of different notebooks– I like hard covers and soft covers, graph paper and plain paper, thick paper and thin paper, smooth paper and rough paper… it’s just too hard to decide!

What are the elements of YOUR perfect notebook? Have you ever thought about having one made to your specifications?
