It’s that exciting season again, when next year’s planners are announced by Nolty. This year there are a few changes to their product line-up– a couple of discontinued versions of the diaries, and some new formats. Fans of B6 size planners will find some new products. There are also some new notebook/diary options where you … Continue reading Nolty 2023 Diaries Now Available
I spotted the image below in a recent New York Times article about Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the filmmaker who directed the Beatles documentary “Let It Be.” The diaries described as follows in the article: He has preserved much of what he went through with the Beatles in diaries, which he has kept since the “Ready Steady … Continue reading Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s Diaries
I recently went to the Morgan Library in New York City, primarily to see the Holbein exhibition that’s currently being shown there. (Well worth seeing and it closes soon, so go if you can!) The Morgan is also currently showing an exhibition about Woody Guthrie, which happens to feature quite a few notebooks! This composition … Continue reading Woody Guthrie’s Notebooks
I was browsing eBay recently and came across a very odd Moleskine planner. I searched for it on Moleskine’s own site but found nothing. The only other listing I found was at Target: Digging still further, I found another Target listing for a beige version, which was also listed on the website of Sandman Books. … Continue reading Weird, Ugly Moleskine Planner
I’m a fan of Paperblanks notebooks. I own several of them but I had never actually used one until quite recently, when I decided to bite the bullet and try using a Paperblanks Flexis notebook as a daily journal. I’ve been coveting these notebooks for a while– there are some very cool cover designs, and … Continue reading Paperblanks Flexis Notebook Review

A monogrammed duffel bag in my parents’ basement holds many old diaries — a furry leopard-print one from elementary school, Moleskines with unbroken spines from college … Continue reading On Keeping a Commonplace Book
I found this week’s addict via a link at The Cramped, and there’s just so much to love! First, 96 notebooks all in a row! I am always impressed by this level of commitment to a single notebook type/brand. Then there’s the red dots on the spines so you can see at a glance how … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Dave Gauer
These Harvard Coop diaries mark the beginnings of my serious obsession with little black notebooks. I started using them at around the age of 9. Before that, I’d had some 3 x 5″ spiral notebooks, and I liked to get the little Hallmark month-to-a-page planners that drugstores would give out for free, but I barely … Continue reading Harvard Coop Diaries
I love it when my wishes come true! I was thrilled when the Nolty Daily Book was announced for 2020 to celebrate their 70th anniversary but then crushed when they decided not to add it to their regular line-up. But thanks to Instagram, I recently spotted a sneaky late addition to their new products: an … Continue reading Undated Nolty Daily Book
It’s that time of year again… but I’m a little less excited this year about the new diaries from Nolty. Or perhaps I should say I’m less excited about trying to figure out what the Nolty 2022 diaries are! I’ve tried to find the page on their website that I used to use to figure … Continue reading Nolty 2022
