I recently wrote about how Moleskine’s packaging has evolved over the years. I thought it would be interesting to take a look at a similar Rhodia Webnotebook comparison. In future posts, I’ll also examine some other popular brands to see how their products have changed over time. I first reviewed a Rhodia Webnotebook in 2009, … Continue reading Rhodia Webnotebook Comparison: Then & Now
Cuprohastes was one of the winners of my recent Arteza giveaway, and he included Arteza sketchbooks and watercolor books in this shot of his notebook collection! Quite a variety here: I spy Field Notes, Moleskine, including one of the Van Gogh silk covered ones, perhaps Leuchtturm and I think Mead, as well as others I … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Cuprohastes
Here’s another shoebox tour! This box of notebooks, one of the many that hold my collection, contains lined and dot-grid notebooks that I may find a use for someday, or at least like enough to want to keep. As with the previous shoebox tour, I first just looked at the box without taking any of … Continue reading Shoebox Tour: A Box of Dot-Grid and Lined Notebooks
At some point during the years I’ve been writing this blog, I remember coming across some discussion about whether the “regular” size Moleskine notebook was the pocket size or the large size.

This week we have a Rollbahn addict! I’ve never seen such a big collection of Rollbahn notebooks, including tons of limited editions. They really look great laid out like this! You can see lots more from @Lemonbahn on Instagram.

This year, I’m also getting close to needing to swap out my daily notebook/journal and daily carry sketchbook. Here’s … Continue reading Daily Carry Notebook: What I’m Using Now, and Next
I do a lot of notebook browsing on Amazon, and therefore see a ton of sponsored product recommendations for notebooks. Most of them are not that interesting. But the Taotree Notebook started popping up a lot a few months ago and I was intrigued. So many of the generic notebooks you see on Amazon only … Continue reading Taotree Notebook Review
It’s been fun to get all my notebooks out of storage and start trying to organize them better. Opening each box is like visiting old friends! I thought I’d give you a box by box tour of my collection over the next few months– longtime readers will recognize items I’ve reviewed in the past. This … Continue reading Shoebox Tour: A Box of Squared Notebooks
I’ve been coveting a Waverley Scotland notebook ever since I first saw them at Kinokuniya, so I was thrilled when the company sent me a sample to review! The sample I received is one of Waverley’s pocket size Commonplace Books. I rather like that they call them “commonplace books” rather than the more common “journal” … Continue reading Waverley Scotland Notebook Review & Giveaway
