Notebook Addict of the Week

Melinda says:
I’ve been journaling since 1992. I began during the summer between my 7th or 8th grade year. I remember that I had a diary even before that, but it was the kind little girls have, with a lock and keepsake box. Someone read it and that was the end of that diary. I think [...]

Sandoz Pharmaceutical Diary, 1970s

Here’s a notebook which evokes bittersweet memories for me…

Each of these would have its advantages and disadvantages. I rather like the squared paper for list-making and doodling, though it can be a little distracting for [...]

Modified Note Pad

This started out as a simple plain notepad, the kind with glued-together pages and a cardboard backing. They came as a pack of 3 that were meant to be separated, but I liked the chunky thickness so I left them all together. I decorated the first page with [...]

From Goodplum:
If you find yourself out and about and needing to make a quick note – maybe you should try turning the pages of a notebook instead of typing something into your phone. The Moleskine Volant mini is 2.5″ by 4″ and has 56 pages – the last 16 which are perforatted for easy [...]

Ever wanted a blank book that didn’t look like one at first glance? There’s an amusing sub-genre of books where the joke is that they’re blank inside. Here’s a few examples I found on Amazon and elsewhere:
The Computers Blank Book: The World’s First and Only Computer Book That Will Never Be Obsolete

The Book of Bill [...]
