Here’s a notebook that I’ve never seen in any stores, but spotted on a couple of websites, including Amazon and WB Mason. The online images made the Tops Designer Notebook look like a typical Moleskine-type notebook but in nice colors like blue and red, and the price was quite low. But how does it really [...]

I’m a big fan of the Hand Book Journals, so I was excited to see that Blick has 3-packs at a great price, 53% off the suggested retail. Unfortunately it’s only for the large size, and only in black… but if you use them, it’s a good chance to grab a few!

You see, I don’t normally finish the things I begin. I write stories, I draw pictures, and then I promptly destroy them, delete them, throw them in the trashcan…to say I am destructive is a true understatement.

A reader named Kevin wrote to me to ask if I’d ever seen these notebooks for sale in the United States: Aurora Productions. The company is Belgian, but Kevin bought some of these A4 exercise books at Ryman’s in London:
I was even more intrigued by their “Bur-o-class” linen-covered notebooks, which look really nice. They seem [...]
Graphic Arts Magazine has some news on Moleskine’s new packaging for 2011 planners, including quality control codes and QR codes that will link to the Moleskine website when you photograph them with certain phones.
