The folks at Michael Roger just sent me a sample of their newest Decomposition Book: a snazzy honeycomb design! (See my previous review of Michael Roger notebooks.) And I’m going to pass it on to a lucky winner! Enter as usual: On Twitter, follow Notebook Stories and tweet something containing the words “Decomposition Book” and [...]
