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.
Imagine buying 100 at a time! From a Flickr user: One Hundred (and three) Moleskine Notebooks I have just finished writing my book on Moleskine notebooks titled “Moleskine: How to make use of the “legendary” notebook”. I wanted to send a Moleskine notebook to each and every book reviewer and prominent reader of the book, [...]

Heather at A Penchant for Paper asks How Many Notebooks Are Too Many?: The true notebook addict would probably say that it would be impossible to have too many notebooks, but I am not so sure. I have been feeling overwhelmed lately by the number of notebooks that I am currently using, as well as [...]
From the Huffington Post: The thing about opening your mind up to a new story idea is that you once you do it, there’s no going back. All of a sudden, everything seems like it has to do with the new idea. Songs and lyrics and billboards and articles and movies and books and people [...]
A couple of years ago, there was a great post on Design Observer about Michael Bierut’s notebooks: The post made its way around the blogosphere so extensively that I never bothered to link to it here. But more recently, a reader asked me if I had seen it, and it got me thinking again about [...]
I love this photo of 5 Moleskines containing a year’s worth of art journaling. From Journal Junk, a great blog about art journaling.

Did you know, for instance, that the last entry in Samuel Pepys’ diary [...]

Here’s a look at a couple of notebooks I couldn’t resist buying at Kinokuniya, a store in Manhattan that specializes in books, movies, stationery and other Japanese items. The first is a quite unique notebook, made by Pilot and branded “THE-II” on the front. The cover is a very retro leather-textured plastic: But here’s what [...]
