I had never seen the movie Elf. The 20th anniversary re-release has had people talking about it, and several people I know said it was their favorite Christmas movie, so I decided to watch it. It was pretty cute, but of course my favorite part was the appearance of a notebook!

The notebook belongs to the character Miles Finch, a children’s book author who has filled it with story ideas.

I would guess that the notebook in the movie is a very common 4×6″ hardcover sketchbook similar to ones made by various manufacturers, such as Canson, Stillman & Birn, Daler Rowney, and Artlicious, among others.

There’s also a “Miles Finch” notebook for sale on Amazon, which is a cute idea, but it doesn’t sound like the same type of notebook at all, as it is larger than the one in the movie. It’s basically just a 6×9″ paperback lined notebook that says Miles Finch on the cover.

Hope your holidays are happy and full of notebook sightings!
