It’s been fun to get all my notebooks out of storage and start trying to organize them better. Opening each box is like visiting old friends! I thought I’d give you a box by box tour of my collection over the next few months– longtime readers will recognize items I’ve reviewed in the past. This … Continue reading Shoebox Tour: A Box of Squared Notebooks
This is an interesting alternative to the Bullet Journal method. Torey Van Dot lays out each day’s tasks divided into categories and then slotted into time blocks on a schedule. As she writes in the linked post, a graph paper notebook made this layout workable. Who knew graph paper could make such a difference? She … Continue reading Daily To-Do Schedule Using Graph Paper Notebooks
I was quite excited when the maker of these new notebooks contacted me and offered a sample. They take the common format of a 3-pack of staple-bound pocket notebooks and add a flash of color and a touch of travelogue. Zettel Notebooks are made in Berlin, and each cover is a tribute to a part … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Zettel Notebooks
Another beautiful notebook page, with writing in French. This belonged to Alice Rivaz, a Swiss author. The notebook is part of an archive of her papers, which includes other notebooks as well (you have to click around a bit to find a few links to other images). Found via Google Image search.
I love this image of what seems to be an old diary written in Italian. Found at the link below– I’m not sure how the text and image relate, even after a translation to English! Via Taccuino di prigionia (17) | Brotture.

That’s a lot of graph paper, quite impressively aligned! See more at Hey Notebooks.
Can you judge a notebook by its cover? Perhaps! I was very excited to get these samples from Halaby Aero. The first time I saw these notebooks at Paper Presentation in NYC, I immediately thought they were cool. I have no day to day use for any of the airplane-related info on the covers, but … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Halaby Aero Flightbook Notebooks
Here’s a beautiful notebook that I’d rather not see up close: “Marie Curie made some of the most significant contributions to science in the 20th century. And as most people already know, she did so at a great cost to her own health. What most people probably don’t know, however, is that the radiation … Continue reading Marie Curie’s Radioactive Notebook
I’ve reviewed and mentioned Leuchtturm notebooks many times– over the last few years, they’ve been popping up in more and more stores and are probably Moleskine‘s closest competitor. I’m sure that is in part due to marketing efforts on the part of their distributor, Kikkerland, who were kind enough to send me the samples you’ll … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Leuchtturm Notebooks… and Sketchbook!
