I found this week’s addict on Instagram (@arimako58), where this lovely stack of notebooks was shared: Mostly refillable binders and some chunky journals in covers… I also spy what I think is a Filofax refillable notebook, similar to this one. Source: Ari. (@arimako58) • Instagram photos and videos
I bought this adorable little notebook from JetPens. Although “etranger” is a French word, “di” is an Italian word, and Costa Rica is in Latin America, the company is Japanese. I guess it’s just that enjoyment of slightly absurd foreign phrases that you sometimes see on Japanese products, as there is also French text on … Continue reading Review: Etranger di Costa Rica Notebook
The Endeavor Notebook is an intriguing project on Kickstarter. I love the look of the simple leather cover, and the refills are very handsome on their own. The paper is said to be fountain pen friendly. The attachment system might not be the most quick and easy, but it seems like it would be sturdy, … Continue reading Endeavor Notebook on Kickstarter
It’s fun to review notebook products that are a little outside what I normally use, so I’m grateful to the makers of Off.Lines for sending me these free samples: Off.Lines is designed to be a handy system for “capturing thoughts and ideas on the go for later processing.” Each notepad is small enough to slip … Continue reading Review & Giveaway: Off.Lines Notebooks
Another cool Kickstarter project– notebooks made from wood and leather. Available for preorder here.
Here’s some questions from readers that have come in over the last few months. Some of them are stumpers, for me at least, but I hope some other sharp-eyed readers will be able to answer! From Chris: Do you by any chance know what type of notebook/journal Bradley Cooper is using in the movie ‘Burnt’? … Continue reading Questions from Readers
Here’s a recent successful Kickstarter project, the Mixiw notebook. I’m not sure how to pronounce Mixiw– mixee? mix-ew? Anyway, it looks like a nice concept– a variety of inserts will be available and you can mix and match them in the cover, and archive them in a binder when you’re done. The binding system looks … Continue reading Mixiw Notebooks
Here’s an interesting concept– the Paper Saver notebook “The Paper Saver turns your printed paper into a stylish faux leather notebook. Once the paper is inserted into the Paper Saver, it will become an elegant, professional notebook.” It’s a nice idea– I always seem to have a mountain of paper to recycle in my office … Continue reading Paper Saver Notebook
I came across this photo on Pinterest recently, and couldn’t believe I’d never seen it before, as the original has been on Flickr since 2011. Amazing collection of Midori Traveler’s Notebooks! It’s one thing to amass a huge stash of notebooks that don’t have removable pages, but when you have this many notebooks that are … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Ron Nakagame
Here’s another interesting notebook that was born out of a Kickstarter campaign. I like the simple, rugged leather covers and the ability to replace the paper inside, though I’m not sure I’d like the way the pad inside is bound, as it doesn’t seem like it would open flat. See more at Designed with simplicity … Continue reading Bull & Stash Notebooks
