This week’s addict is not just into her own notebooks… She’s also addicted to the journals of others, from Thomas Merton to Frida Kahlo to Kurt Cobain. But as for her own notebooks, here’s what she has to say: What does one write in? There are so many possibilities. I use two sizes of Moleskines [...]
The readers of this blog continue to challenge my notebook wisdom, proving again that I’m more of an enthusiast than an expert. But maybe others will have suggestions, so I share these with all of you: From Bobby: I’m trying to find a notebook that is “normal” sized ~8.5×11 and is cream/light green colored like [...]
This week’s Notebook Addict is writer Martin Wilson, author of What They Always Tell Us. Below are a few that he’s using right now: These include Moleskine, Clairefontaine, and SemiKolon, as well as a new one to me, the “Pearl Pinstripe.” (I guess he must mean these Carolina Pad Pearl Stripe notebooks? He does say [...]
This week’s addict blogs about office supplies at Does This Pen Write?, and based on the photos below, she’s been testing her pens in quite a few notebooks, especially Rhodias. She’s also fond of basic black sketchbooks, Clairefontaine, Ecosystem and others. You can read more about her various notebooks in these posts on her blog.
It’s long overdue that I call attention to this week’s addict, who blogs at Rants of the Archer. Here’s part of her notebook collection: There are 57 notebooks in that photo. But wait, there’s more!

I hadn’t seen or heard of these Clairefontaine Life.Unplugged notebooks before reading this post: Ink Nouveau: Clairefontaine Life.Unplugged. Notebook Elastic Band Hack. They seem to be nice little cahier-style notebooks– they don’t come with an elastic, but you can add one if you’re handy with a glue gun! See the original post for further steps. [...]
Flickr is such a great source of notebook addicts! Here’s the latest one, and I’d say he/she REALLY has a problem! All of these are as yet unused: I’m pretty sure I see Moleskines, maybe Rhodia and Clairefontaine, and I’m not sure what else. There’s a lot of variety there! The owner seems to be [...]
Here’s a cool batch of artistically decorated notebooks: And here’s what Laura Jane has to say about them: My notebooks are my babies, my progeny, an extension of myself. They are my phantom arm. If I ever lost a notebook, it would destroy me, but I would never lose a notebook, because I always check. [...]
If you live in London, you might want to join the Stationery Club. Here’s what a self-described Moleskine Fangirl has to say about a meeting she attended, and her own notebook preferences: “Is it a real club?” Yes. A real-life, lots of people in a bar, scaring the non-stationery normals out of the room type [...]
From Canada’s National Post, a nice appreciation of the pleasures of notebooks, pens and other supplies: Move over Moleskine. Oh, how I longed for that pack of Prismacolor pencils!
