This week’s addict is a blogger you all should know: Laurie from Plannerisms. Check out her fabulous collection, comfortably (but crowdedly)housed in its own bookcase: She points out: Note that this bookcase is nearly 6 feet tall. Also notice most shelves are two rows deep. Man, that’s a lot of notebooks and planners! One of … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Laurie
A fun article in this past weekend’s New York Times: Calendar Wars Pit Electronics Against Paper. A few quotes from paper fans: “I’ve got an iPad, an iPod, I’m on Twitter and Facebook and I’m talking on my BlackBerry now,†said Nelson George, a cultural critic, filmmaker and producer, in a phone interview. “But that’s … Continue reading Calendar Wars: Electronic Vs. Paper
This week’s addict has quite a stack of Filofaxes! She also admits to having quite a few other notebooks and agendas, and says these are all unused. She also shows off this rather luscious-looking Hermès agenda! See more at Sheapup’s Flickr photostream.
g_m_a_x has some drool-worthy Filofax photos on his Flickr photostream, including this one, which is by no means his full collection: Looking at the photos almost gives me the shivers– the Filofaxes have obviously been collected over the years, from back when they were made with much higher-end materials. So many gorgeous leathers, so deliciously … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: g_m_a_x

I am student of classical archaeology (hardly working on the dissertation thesis) and few months ago I found your website. I was so glad that I am not the only one, … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Andrea
I enjoyed this article in yesterday’s New York Times Magazine: The Demise of Datebooks, by Virginia Heffernan. I miss my Filofax datebook, with its six rings and dark red leather binder. I had a green one first, with a calendar that cast each week across two cream-colored pages. Back then, at age 30, I was … Continue reading Virginia Heffernan Mourns the Filofax
This week’s notebook addict has the distinction of being our first Filofax addict: This is a particularly hard to justify form of notebook addiction– after all, a Filofax is a durable, refillable binder: you can’t “use it up” the way you can with other bound notebooks and journals. 10 Moleskine-type notebooks might not seem like … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Mywormy
This is the first Filofax I ever bought, sometime in the early 1990s. I had not been out of college long and Filofaxes still seemed like the kind of expensive yuppie status symbol that I’d scoffed at… but then I got a job in a store that sold them, and I discovered that this pocket … Continue reading Pocket Filofax, Early 1990s
Welcome to the first edition of the Carnival of Pen, Pencil and Paper! Some carnivals have roller coasters, fried dough, and oversized stuffed animals as prizes. This carnival offers just as much fun and variety, if you love handmade Japanese paper, fountain pens, Filofaxes, and 15-year old spiral notebooks. Every month, a different blog will … Continue reading The First Carnival of Pen, Pencil and Paper
