This week’s addict emailed me a link to her Tumblr site, where she’s posted all these photos of a wonderfully colorful collection.

In addition to these ones on Tumblr, there are a few more recent purchases here:

Thanks for sharing your addiction, Windi!

This week’s addict is a 21 year old “struggling journalist” who notes:

There is no such thing as too many notebooks, after all. =)

Here’s a few from her collection:

Notebook Addict of the Week: Julie the Gadgeteer

I went through a phase in the late 1990s when my notebook obsession was relatively dormant, because my lust for handheld data receptacles of a certain size and shape had displaced itself onto the Palm Pilot and its various descendents. PDAs were my addiction then: I bought (and resold) about 15 different models over about 10 years, and there’s probably no website that was more responsible for stoking my techno-desires than The Gadgeteer, Julie Streitelmeier’s excellent gadget review blog. In recent years, Palm has faded and though I love my iPhone, I have never been quite as “into it” as I was with Palm devices. I went back to being more excited by paper, but I still keep an eye out for what Julie and her team of writers are reviewing, and I was thrilled to see that the “gadgets” that Julie loves include notebooks! Check out this stash:

She says:

I’m currently obsessed with trying to find a perfect way to keep a daily journal on my iPhone, iPad or good old paper. I think paper is going to win the battle, but I’m not sure buying a bazillion notebooks is helping. In the process, I’ve become a notebook addict…

Yup, she’s a notebook addict!

If even committed technophiles can’t resist the call of notebooks, I think there’s still hope that pen, pencil and paper will survive whatever new digital innovations arise! So glad you posted this, Julie– I always knew you were a kindred spirit!

Notebook Addict of the Week: Millie

Millie sent me a link to this photo of her stash of unused notebooks. She points out that 2 didn’t make it into the photo… and I bet her collection of used notebooks would be pretty impressive too!

Full details on what all these notebooks are at Unused notebook collection.

Thanks for sharing, Millie!

Notebook Addict of the Week: Lapin

Nifty — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:00:31 +0000

Lapin’s been featured here before, but I spotted this via Doodlers Anonymous and had to make it an addict post. Here’s what DA had to say:

If you like to sketch and you don’t already know the work of the wonderfully talented Lapin, then you best start getting familiar with him. He’s a force to be reckon with. The above photo was taken while standing on a ladder and conveys (more or less) every drawn sketchbook of his.

Simply, WOW….

Isn’t this just glorious?

Notebook Addict of the Week: Thriftygal

Nifty — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:00:59 +0000

This week’s addict sent me a link to the photo below. She can’t be all that thrifty if she buys all these notebooks, can she?! But I’m all for prioritizing one’s budgeting, and there’s always a line in mine for notebooks!

Great collection– I see a Penguin notebook, some Muji notebooks, Archie Grand, a Star Wars Moleskine, and lots of other intriguing items I can’t identify. Thanks for sharing!
