This week’s addict emailed me a few months ago about her love for notebooks: Hello there. I’m Allie, fourteen years old, and completely in love with your blog.

David Bogie shared a couple of great tips: first, this interesting notebook, used to record games of Go. I remember trying to play Go with my dad sometimes when I was a kid, or more frequently, Gomoku, which is much simpler. I certainly never got to the level of having to record my games, but [...]

This week’s addict is an artist who makes very funky dolls and other decorative arts.

I was browsing around on Flickr and found this image that mentioned that it was the person’s first Moleskine page. It made me wonder what mine was, so I dug around in my boxes of notebooks to find it… I started my first Moleskine sketchbook sometime in 2001, I think. The very first page is [...]
This week’s addict is Heather at A Penchant for Paper. I really enjoyed her post about her system of using multiple notebooks, including the ones below: “I have multiple notebooks, multiple pens and pencils, and multiple pen cases, all of them equally stuffed full, and I still find myself acquiring more, although not quite as [...]
Wouldn’t you love to read what’s in this diary? Well, you can! Its owner has transcribed all the entries into a blog: In 1976, I read Dracula which is a book that is completely told through diary entries. It impressed me so much that at age 13 I decided it was time I marked the [...]
This week’s addict posted the image below on Flickr: A nice collection, with Rite in the Rain, Moleskine (cahiers and regular), Rhodia, Paperblanks and Miquelrius. He’s also written about his notebook choices here. See the original image and comments at Notebooks – never enough.
