I recently went to Book People, a great independent bookstore in Austin, Texas. They have a huge selection of gift items and stationery, including lots of notebooks from Moleskine, Leuchtturm, Miquelrius, Michael Roger, HandBook, Paperblanks, Rhodia, Field Notes and many more.

Just for the heck of it, today I did a Google image search for “collection of Moleskines.” Here’s what I got:
This week’s addict emailed me these photos of her collection: Her favorite is the pink Moleskine. Next on her wishlist? A customized Smythson. I like how the pinkish color tone seems to recur throughout her collection despite the wide variety in colors and designs. Thanks for sharing your addiction, Neysa!
This is a pretty neat website, with lots of artists’ notebooks you can click on and see in their entirety: This one is by Fally Sene Sow, an artist living in Dakar, Senegal: See more at www.atwork27.org
Helen Ström is an artist who was born in Sweden, grew up in Spain, and now lives in Paris. I don’t remember how I discovered her blog but I love her beautiful sketches: See more at Helen Ström: Moleskine. Her watercolors are wonderful too!

Zachary says: “I’m an architecture student so I’ve gone through four years of trying find the perfect sketchbook/notebook and another four years of still … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Zachary

Quoted at length, but please do check out the rest of the original blog post, by … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Notebook Nostalgia
This week’s addict was spotted on the F***Yeah Notebooks and Journals Tumblr page, a good source for notebook eye candy! Pepperguy says “I have a bit of an addiction.” I’d love to see more beyond this tantalizing glimpse of Moleskines and Field Notes! See more at I have a bit of a notebook addiction. … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Pepperguy
I tend not to review very many notebook-related accessories on this site. There are various pen-holders and notebook covers on the market but I am not usually interested in them, as I like to keep my notebooks pretty simple and unencumbered. But when I first spotted the Penroll, I was immediately attracted to it and … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Penroll
Emily Weiss, the founder of the beauty website Into the Gloss, counts Moleskines among her favorite things: “My most treasured possessions are my Moleskine notebooks, which I have gravitated away from using at the moment. But when I founded Into the Gloss in 2010, I used them all the time to sketch the site’s layouts … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Emily Weiss
