Rands In Repose on Notebooks

The passage below is from a post a few years old but I only just recently came across it. The writer has some great insights about notebooks and does an in-depth comparison of various models he’s used:   The primary goal of a notebook is to get out of the way… to disappear.

Notebook Addict of the Week: Ted

This week’s addict emailed me to say “I like Field Notes. Moleskine too but I dont buy them much anymore. Quality has gone down. I use a hc pocket plain and strap 3 FN together with one of their rubber bands. 2 for writing and 1 for music and book lists etc.” He’s not kidding … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Ted

Notebook Addict of the Week: Ana

This week’s addict blogs at The Well Appointed Desk, and emailed me this “confessional” about her love for notebooks: I think I go beyond a notebook story into a full-blown confessional.

A reader named June sent me two lovely items– first, a special edition Field Notes: This was the perfect gift, because as I’ve written here … Continue reading Gifts From a Reader: Rollbahn and Field Notes

Field Notes 50 States Boxed Set

I know I should probably show a little more love to Field Notes brand notebooks. Lots of notebook fans seem to adore them, and it’s very admirable that they’re designed and made here in the good old US of A. And it’s nice that their aesthetic celebrates a bygone era of promotional  memo books used … Continue reading Field Notes 50 States Boxed Set

Notebook Addict of the Week: Rusty Rocket

This week’s addict is a designer who wishes he could find one notebook that met all his needs: One important characteristic I require is that the pages have to withstand watercolour paints, as this is the most common medium used when adding detail and colour to my sketches. The Windsor and Newton sketchpad does this … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Rusty Rocket
