I’m just back from another trip where I used a Moleskine City Notebook, this time for Lisbon. I really enjoy using these on trips, as it’s handier than having to tote around a full guidebook. I stayed in a very central location, and the maps covered most (but not all) of the areas I visited [...]
It’s time yet again to crowdsource some of the “help me find this notebook” pleas I get, as well as some other tidbits from the mailbag: Zachary wonders “is it wrong that I saw the movie Thor over the weekend and left realizing I really wanted to find out what type of notebook Natalie Portman’s [...]
Dave has been featured here before: Slow Boat’s Chinese Notebooks. It turns out his collection of Asian notebooks goes much further, including these quirky finds! See more notebook photos and commentary at Dave’s blog, Slow Boat. Thanks for sharing these, Dave!
Paul, a former Addict of the Month, sent me a couple of interesting notebook stories: First, a link to some info about the Jesse Owens Exhibit at a library at Ohio State. From Paul: “In Thompson Library on the Ohio State campus, I saw the travel diary of Jesse Owens, for his 1936 trip to [...]
I love dense notebook pages like this one… I’m not sure what the notebook is, but I’m guessing it could be Quo Vadis, based on the page size and perforated corners. Photo by Periwinklekog on Flickr
I found this image at a blog called Robobop that unfortunately no longer seems to be active. It was from a post about Moleskine drawings during a trip to New York City. I hope the blog comes back someday, I’d love to see more!
This is sort of old news but I realized I’d never posted it: one of Moleskine’s custom projects is a pair of National Gallery guidebooks. For everyone who wants to explore the fascinating world of art in London, Moleskine has partnered with the National Gallery museum to release two different city guide notebooks with a [...]
One of these days I’m going to buy one of the Midori Traveler’s Notebooks. I personally prefer the size of the smaller “Passport” version– and I don’t keep my passport in any sort of case, so there’s a good excuse! But meanwhile, this still had me salivating a bit: The Journal Shop is featuring a [...]
I got a nice email from a reader named Cordice, who shared a link to some photos of notebooks bought in Egypt. I always love to see notebooks from countries I haven’t been to yet! Here’s what Cordice had to say: I want to send you a picture of some delicious notebooks i hunted down [...]
Here’s an interesting article about journals that have been set free to wander the globe over the past decade: A real page-turner: The results of the 1,000 Journals Project are revealed – Features, Art – The Independent. It all started with a bit of graffiti on a toilet wall. But what began life as a [...]
