I spent the last couple of days at the BookExpo convention at the Javits Center in New York. It’s mostly focused on book publishing, but there are always some cool stationery vendors there. I spent some time in the Exaclair booth, where Karen showed me their new items, some of which I hope to review … Continue reading Exaclair Booth at BookExpo
Here we are with another Carnival of Pen, Pencil & Paper. It’s an interesting selection this month– I think the notebook people need to step it up a bit as far more of our submissions tend to be about pens! But there’s a great variety of pen articles that made for interesting reading, so I’m … Continue reading Carnival of Pen, Pencil & Paper #18
Remember this Notebook Addict post about Carmen, who sent me a fabulous selection of European notebooks? I named her Notebook Addict of the Year back in April, a noble distinction that must now be reaffirmed based on this photo of her collection: Here’s what Carmen has to say about that gorgeous tower: Here is my … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Year: Carmen (Again)
This week’s addict is not just into her own notebooks… She’s also addicted to the journals of others, from Thomas Merton to Frida Kahlo to Kurt Cobain. But as for her own notebooks, here’s what she has to say: What does one write in? There are so many possibilities. I use two sizes of Moleskines … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: ALB Creativity
“She Writes” is an online community for women writers, with over 9,000 active members from all fifty states and more than thirty countries. As you can imagine, these ladies love their notebooks!

This week’s addict says: I am a notebook junkie. I love notebooks and sketchbooks. This is a small selection of what I own — it doesn’t include work notebooks, notebooks in other places in the house, or notebooks on the other shelf. Or really old notebooks. Well, I think she should take some pictures of … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Digital Garden Gnome
This week’s addict blogs about office supplies at Does This Pen Write?, and based on the photos below, she’s been testing her pens in quite a few notebooks, especially Rhodias. She’s also fond of basic black sketchbooks, Clairefontaine, Ecosystem and others. You can read more about her various notebooks in these posts on her blog.
It’s long overdue that I call attention to this week’s addict, who blogs at Rants of the Archer. Here’s part of her notebook collection: There are 57 notebooks in that photo. But wait, there’s more! Another 55 notebooks are shown below: She mentions that some of the notebooks are being used, but I also spy … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: The Archer
Flickr is such a great source of notebook addicts! Here’s the latest one, and I’d say he/she REALLY has a problem! All of these are as yet unused: I’m pretty sure I see Moleskines, maybe Rhodia and Clairefontaine, and I’m not sure what else. There’s a lot of variety there! The owner seems to be … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Freen707
Today I’m reviewing yet another variant on the basic black notebook that has become so ubiquitous. This time, it’s the Scribe Plain Notebook. An initial impression of this notebook might suggest that it’s just like a Moleskine, but I actually found it more similar to the Pen & Ink notebook I reviewed here, or some … Continue reading Review: Scribe Notebook
