					<description><![CDATA[Orhan Pamuk&#8217;s Memories of Distant Mountains was published last year. I bought a copy right away but it&#8217;s taken me a while to review it! I wrote about Pamuk once before, quoting a passage from one of his books where he talks about his grandmother keeping notebooks that she wrote in every day.

					<description><![CDATA[I sometimes shudder at the idea of old notebooks being altered in any way, but I came across a book that captures what I think is an interesting and beautiful use of old books and journals. Photographer Francesca Woodman bought various old books, notebooks and exercise books at flea markets in Italy in the 1970s. &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/11/24/francesca-woodmans-artists-books/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Francesca Woodman&#8217;s Artist&#8217;s Books</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Several years ago I posted about some of Turner&#8217;s sketchbooks that were available in book form: J. M. W. Turner Sketchbooks. I recently went to another exhibition of Turner&#8217;s work, this time at the Yale Center for British Art. In the exhibition, there was an actual sketchbook displayed in a plexiglass case, opened to a &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/11/17/j-m-w-turner-facsimile-sketchbooks/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">J.

					<description><![CDATA[In Roland Allen&#8217;s The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper, there&#8217;s a mention of how Socrates disapproved of writing things down because he thought it would ruin people&#8217;s ability to memorize things. At least I think there something about it in that book&#8230; but I can&#8217;t find either &#8220;Socrates&#8221; or &#8220;memory&#8221; in the index, &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/06/17/do-notebooks-destroy-memorization-skills/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Do Notebooks Destroy Memorization Skills?</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I snapped the photo below in the shop at the Aldrich Museum about 2 years ago and then forgot all about it til I was trying to organize my unwieldy photo archives. You can see why the photo and the book caught my eye, with that lovely pile of notebooks and sketchbooks on the cover! &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/02/18/mark-dions-notebooks/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Mark Dion&#8217;s Notebooks</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
