This week’s addict is Jace Stansbury of Texas, who keeps notebooks devoted to a very specific purpose: recording observations of nature. Here’s some of the collection:
Jace’s thoughts on keeping notebooks:
I have stacks of pocket-sized notebooks full of observations made over the years and I’m in the process of re-writing these notes in a neater format [...]
I haven’t updated my “using now” photo in a while– the photo that’s been there was of a Piccadilly graph notebook. After that, I went through a Moleskine graph notebook within a couple of months– this was one of the ones I got for 50 cents and it definitely had some quality issues– some of [...]
Jessica compares a Moleskine sketchbook to a Greenapple notebook, a much less expensive brand found in the Philippines.
Her comments: different elastic, doesn’t open as flat, and the paper is whiter and coarser. Worth a try at about 1/4 the price of a Moleskine! (At least if you live in the Philippines.)

Our latest addict of the week is Hannah, who blogs at Slightly Lovely. Here’s her stash:

This is a pile of notebooks gathered from around my bedroom (I’m sure there are more hidden on shelves, in closets & drawers). In this pile, there are spiral notebooks, leather notebooks, [...]
This is a funny story about a lost and found Moleskine and a lost and found suitcase. That reminder to write your name and contact info can save the day!

Thanks to Laura for sharing her addiction, and sorry it took me a while to post it! If you are a notebook addict [...]
Geeklet writes about parting with a beloved Moleskine:
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.
Regardless, this notebook, the one pictured here? It made it. In November, [...]
Our latest addict of the week is a regular reader who submitted this photo of her stash, safely guarded by two interesting little figures:
Looks like a nice collection of Piccadilly and Moleskine notebooks, plus some other brands I don’t recognize, all ready to filled up with creativity, perhaps some early drafts of her blog posts [...]
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.
Not sure what the source is for this info, but you can read more at Legendary Moleskine notebooks announces new improvements [...]
