Mysterious HOM Notebook

Every so often, I’ll see a new brand of notebook that interests me, but I don’t feel like spending money on it. I usually snap a photo or write down the brand name, and then look it up online to find out more. Below is a photo I took of a notebook found several months ago in Brooklyn’s Book Court (a great independent bookstore):

Despite having the brand name (HOM, as far as I can tell), the name of the artist whose painting is on the cover (William Witenberg), and a SKU number, I haven’t been able to find out anything about this notebook! Nothing relevant seems to pop up in Google searches.

Does anyone else know more about this notebook?

  1. I have also found a little more, borrowing from the prior commander’s link:
    http://hom-essence.myshopify.com/search?q=Journal
    The above was a search I did from the HOM home page, as navigating via the image buttons produced little to nothing (maybe they are having problems getting their site properly updated? idk). But the link I shared AT LEAST brings up a list of a large array journals offered, and I’m very interested in some of these, so ill simply ‘contact’ for order info, as suggested there….

  2. Does anyone know of a company that does one-off customized journals? I have a simple gift idea; a nice journal with the persons name and place. Ruled pages.
    Seems a lot of services can accommodate me, however the minimum quantity is 20-50. I just want one journal.

    Any pointers are much appreciated.

  3. Olia,

    Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for! Can’t believe more places don’t do this kind of thing. I will send a review of the product when it has arrived.

  4. Did Shea Ryan ever get a response from the HOM order inquiry? I picked a few of these up in a local Walmart once a while back and hadn’t found them anywhere since. I’d hoped to order online but I was afraid they’d gone out of business

  5. I never got a response, come to think of it…
    Their ‘newest catalog’ (PDF downloadable from their site) now no longer includes JOURNALS, just photo albums… pity.
    Those were some nice looking little notebooks, and I wouldn’t have minded buying a few of the half dozen or so Iliked!
