Envious of all your books from your youth. I wish I’d kept mine.

Wow, Alan, that is very cool that you stocked up! I’d love to see a photo of the updated cover design that yours have.

I’ve been using these notebooks for decades, bought dozens of them from the maker after Woolworth’s stopped carrying them. The paper is of extremely high quality, hasn’t yellowed even slightly since I got my supply. As a full-time writer I’m never without pen and paper, and this is my paper of choice. I’m down to about four or five blanks, would love to get more, any idea how I might accomplish that? They changed their logo at some point to a simple outline type of the word “Memos” and I was sad to see the old design bite the dust. The leatherette went to a finer grain from the more highly textured former model. I still have all the old ones with the original logo you show.
