This week’s addict emailed me a link to her Flickr photo stream, which includes these photos (and more) of her very large collection of journals. Wow: Here’s what she has to say about them: From the attic to various places in my bedroom: paper as far as the eye can see… I’ve always … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Bisonlady
Here’s another blogger pondering the dilemma of the Moleskine brand: As I approach the cash register to purchase a Moleskine Notebook, I couldn’t help but think of post #122 in “Stuff White People Like” that rails against the cliche mode of thought that one can be declaratively “creative” and need an expensive notebook that offers … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: “Cliche or Cool?”
This week’s addict admits he is a notebook junkie: I may have a problem. My obsession with notebooks started early. My first love was a perforated Mead notebook (non-spiral). I was a budding cartoonist during elementary and middle school and the fact that I could cleanly remove my creations was a big deal. Â Not … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Brett

(Which actually has a slightly different cover, with a much cooler old-school fountain pen instead of the purple … Continue reading Book Review: Writers and Their Notebooks
I picked up this Mead notebook after a tip from a reader, who had noticed that they were available only at Wal-Mart. Though Mead is obviously a major brand that is available everywhere, it would appear that Wal-Mart asked them to come up with an inexpensive Moleskine-ish notebook that they could offer as an exclusive. … Continue reading Review: Mead Journal from WalMart
An interesting post appreciating Moleskines: The Moleskine. Mol-a-skeen’-a. Yet another cult classic, and why shouldn’t it be? This little black notebook’s got its fans cutting hearts out and launching virgins off the summit of Krakatoa, all for its furtive anonymity, acid-free paper, and unembellished distinction.
