This week’s addict emailed me a link to a blog post about her notebook collection, which is featured along with some other bonus items:   After coming back from Asia I decided to take picture of all my (current) journals and notebooks + few other things I use when writing and traveling.

Western Suede-covered Diary from 1949

This unique item was a Christmas gift to me from one of the few people who knows I’m obsessed enough with notebooks to write this blog. Of course I was thrilled when I opened the wrapping paper and saw it:   The notebook is about 4×6″, with what appears to be a hand-painted suede cover. … Continue reading Western Suede-covered Diary from 1949

If this is some home-grown North Korean brand, it could be the most challenging notebook ever to … Continue reading North Korean Notebooks!

I’m impressed that he brought so many with him! In the first picture, the bottom row is empty notebooks, and the top are notebooks that … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Dillon

Moleskine Monday: Did the World Just Get Smaller?

As I’ve mentioned here before, I’m a fan of the Moleskine City Notebooks, so I was distressed when I noticed that they seem to be discontinuing many of the titles. The MoleskineUS.com store currently only lists London, Paris, Berlin and New York– that’s it. In a panic, I went searching to see if I could … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Did the World Just Get Smaller?
