I like the looks of this notepad: It’s made by a Japanese company called Postalco, comes in blue and a lovely shade of green and measures 4 3/10″ x 5 4/5″. It’s sold, strangely enough, by J. Crew, for the not very reasonable price of $18.50. Via Postalco Jotter | Cool Material.
These look kind of funky: I think I want the one with phrases to use in meetings, to remind me there’s more to life than leveraging my core competencies. They’re only $4 each, here. Via Hybrid Home Notebooks – Super7 Blog.

One of these days, perhaps after I win the lottery, I’m going to go on a notebook tour of the world. I’ll definitely hit Japan and Germany and the Philippines, and perhaps China if I can somehow infiltrate all the factories there that are churning out notebooks… but Russia will also be a destination high … Continue reading Moleskinov.net: Russian Notebooks
Jessica compares a Moleskine sketchbook to a Greenapple notebook, a much less expensive brand found in the Philippines. Her comments: different elastic, doesn’t open as flat, and the paper is whiter and coarser. Worth a try at about 1/4 the price of a Moleskine! (At least if you live in the Philippines.)
