Continuing with Part 2 of my exploration of spiral notebooks and wire-o notebooks from my collection! As in Part 1, all of these are 3 x 5″ notebooks unless otherwise noted, and mostly from the 1980s. The Roaring Spring notebooks seem very classic and looked a little retro even in the ’80s.

Spiral and Wire-O Notebooks from My Collection, Part 1

Some of my earliest notebook obsessions were spiral and wire-o binding notebooks. Back when I was a kid, other kinds of notebook were not as easy to find, or were prohibitively expensive for a kid to buy with her allowance. Nowadays, I rarely find myself using a wire bound notebook, but I thought I’d take … Continue reading Spiral and Wire-O Notebooks from My Collection, Part 1

Review & Giveaway: iScholar Notebooks

I love getting the chance to review new (or new to me) brands of notebooks. I had not heard of iScholar when they contacted me to offer these free samples, but I was interested to see what they had to offer, especially as I probably don’t give enough attention to notebooks meant for school use. … Continue reading Review & Giveaway: iScholar Notebooks

Notebooks from Burning Man

Several weeks ago, I went to the Renwick Gallery in Washington D.C., where there was a large exhibition about Burning Man, the annual festival in the Nevada desert where lots of creative people gather to enjoy each other’s art and self-expression in a variety of forms. The Renwick exhibition included a couple of notebooks: This … Continue reading Notebooks from Burning Man
