Here’s a Moleskine-ish notebook with a bold, graphic look, sold by a company that seems to mainly focus on clothes for skateboarders (or people who want to look like skateboarders). Supreme must be a super-trendy brand, as a Japanese retailer sells these notebooks for almost $40 each!
Unlike most notebooks, these have an embossed brand logo [...]
This week’s addict is the author and illustrator D. M. Cornish, creator of the Monster-Blood Tattoo series. I’d never heard of these books, but they seem to have gotten some great reviews. I often enjoy fantasy novels for kids, so now I’m tempted to check them out! But what I’d really like to see are [...]
Quote of the day:
“I bought ten blue notebooks from Walmart and I have filled five of them so far. It’s not OCD or anything, I’m just prepared in case it turns out that it’s the blue notebook doing all the work.”
I’ve been meaning to check out the notebook offerings at WalMart… this has given me [...]
I like the looks of this notepad:
It’s made by a Japanese company called Postalco, comes in blue and a lovely shade of green and measures 4 3/10″ x 5 4/5″. It’s sold, strangely enough, by J. Crew, for the not very reasonable price of $18.50.

These look kind of funky:
I think I want the one with phrases to use in meetings, to remind me there’s more to life than leveraging my core competencies.
They’re only $4 each, here.

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 [...]
Here’s some funky, colorful notebooks:
These 4×3 1/8-inch journals are filled with 48 gridded / perforated sheets, making them perfect for notes on-the-go. And with their five slip pockets and elastic band for security, they’re also a good hiding placce for those secret love notes.
They’re only $5 at the GAMA-GO website.

Just in case you haven’t seen it elsewhere, I had to post this photo from an article in Vanity Fair, displaying the notebook collection of the late John Hughes, the creator of all those memorable 1980’s teen films such as Pretty in Pink. I first came across it at Pocket Blonde, and two readers also [...]
I love this sketchbook cover:

One of these days, perhaps after I win the lottery, I’m going to go on a notebook tour of the world. I’ll definitely hit Japan and Germany and the Philippines, and perhaps China if I can somehow infiltrate all the factories there that are churning out notebooks… but Russia will also be a destination high [...]
