Yet another proprietary brand notebooks, this time from UK office supply store Ryman’s. I keep thinking there must be just a few factories in China that churn out identical notebooks and people just slap their own branding on them! This one looks like it has a soft, smooth cover similar to the Monologue notebook I reviewed. But here it’s in a nice brown color.
Anyway, I’m not complaining– the more brands of notebooks, the better, even if some of them are the same underneath the wrapper!

Hello Nifty. On the strength of your SIM notebook plug I just ordered some! Good to see UK suppliers getting a look in at last even if Ryman’s pocketbook is a moly-me-too. Have you seen the Jordi Labanda A5 Miquelrius sketchbooks that are being sold on line by Sally at http://www.newroomsonline.co.uk? From her blog she sounds like our sort of gal! Best wishes, Colin [Margate Kent]
I use these in both black and brown and a6 and a5 format. They take my fountain pen and gel pens in their stride. I love them – far superior to moleskine in my opinion. (sorry all). And they’re currently buy one get one free!
I have used these many times and they are a joy to write in! :)
Could you please tell what is the brand of notebooks shown in your “What I’m using now” picture.
They are Moleskines and Handbook Artist Journals.
