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
September 12, 2008: 25 people died in a train collision in Los Angeles. Top Wall Street bankers and US government officials met in a panic to try to save Lehman Brothers, as the country began to tumble into the biggest financial crisis since the depression. David Foster Wallace committed suicide. But on the brighter side of things, … Continue reading Ten Years of Notebook Stories!
This week’s addict has a colorful and tidy shelf of notebooks that may be mostly unused… Laken says: Happy #NationalNotebookDay from my shelf of notebooks! Some of them I want to hoard and never write in, but mostly they sit there because I don’t know WHAT to write in them! What do y’all use pretty … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Laken

Since my last update in January, I’ve finished one Moleskine Sketchbook and just started a new one. For my daily journaling and catch-all notebook, I’ve switched from a squared Moleskine to my lovely blue linen-covered Bindewerk dot-grid notebook.

Now Paper Republic has branched off into something quite different, but also rather elegant: the Grand Voyageur travel notebook. The style of this notebook is hardly unique– like the Midori Traveler’s Notebook … Continue reading Review: Paper Republic Grand Voyageur
Here’s a cool notebook hacking project. Inspired by the Midori Traveler’s Notebook, Kate Smith decided to make something similar. She took a Ryman hardcover notebook and swapped the inside pages out for some elastic bands to hold inserts, either Midori ones or Moleskine Cahiers. Should work with Field Notes and many others too. I really … Continue reading DIY Hybrid Notebook
I’ve gotten questions from readers before about alternatives to some of the pricy leather notebook covers out there. I haven’t spotted that many cheap ones for sale, until recently discovering Davis Leatherworks, which seems to have some nice-looking and inexpensive covers. But if you enjoy creativity and you’re willing to put in a little effort, … Continue reading Make Your Own Leather Notebook Cover
I was contacted by the maker of the Pelle Journal a few months back and was very excited to have the opportunity to review one. It was compared to the Midori Passport Size Travelers Journal, but it’s handmade in California. Let’s take a look at what this journal has to offer.

But meanwhile, this still had me salivating a bit: The Journal Shop is featuring a … Continue reading Midori Travelers Notebook 5th Anniversary Limited Edition
