This notebook is one of the gems of my collection because I’ve never seen anything else quite like it. I must have bought this in the early 80s, at one of the various five-and-ten stores in my area. It’s just a generic mass-produced notebook. But this cover just fascinates me! There is something so weird [...]

Here’s a Moleskine page that’s gone viral: I knew about some of these, but others were a surprise! Time to go back and study Shakespeare, I guess! Read more at Things We Say Today And Owe To Shakespeare : The Two-Way : NPR.
Here’s an interesting article– not about notebooks in itself, really, it brings up some interesting questions about how people “recycle” vintage imagery for stationery and other products.
