I know I should probably show a little more love to Field Notes brand notebooks. Lots of notebook fans seem to adore them, and it’s very admirable that they’re designed and made here in the good old US of A. And it’s nice that their aesthetic celebrates a bygone era of promotional memo books used [...]
This is one of the most gorgeous examples of notebook art I’ve ever seen: See more at Juan Rayos – Chinese Moleskine | Aqua-Velvet.
Monica posted this nice stack of journals on Flickr: There isn’t any commentary, so it’s hard to tell if she’s truly an addict, but I think anyone who photographs a nice, worn-in stack of notebooks so lovingly must surely qualify! See more on Flickr.

I love this photo of 5 Moleskines containing a year’s worth of art journaling. From Journal Junk, a great blog about art journaling.
This week’s addict had to be upgraded to Addict of the Month. Paul has been a faithful reader and correspondent for quite a while now, sharing not only photos of his own notebooks, but links to historical notebooks and other interesting trivia.
