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 thought I’d share a few photos from some notebook shopping trips around NYC over the past few months. These were furtively snapped with my cell phone, so I apologize in advance for the image quality.
The first few pictures were taken at McNally Jackson Bookstore in the SoHo/NoLIta area of NYC. It’s a fabulous bookstore, [...]
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.

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.

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 [...]
These look pretty cool, but unfortunately you probably can’t buy one! They seem to have sold out, but hopefully they’ll be back, as they seem to make new batches every so often.
For those who cringe at the thought of cool old records being re-purposed this way, here’s a note from the makers at Vinyl [...]
Here’s a notebook that I’ve never seen in any stores, but spotted on a couple of websites, including Amazon and WB Mason. The online images made the Tops Designer Notebook look like a typical Moleskine-type notebook but in nice colors like blue and red, and the price was quite low. But how does it really [...]
I’m a big fan of the Hand Book Journals, so I was excited to see that Blick has 3-packs at a great price, 53% off the suggested retail. Unfortunately it’s only for the large size, and only in black… but if you use them, it’s a good chance to grab a few!
