Typotheque Pocket Calendar 2010

A reader named Rebecca tipped me off to this cool-looking pocket calendar from Typotheque:

Moleskine Monday: More Thoughts on New Products

I’ve been mulling over the news and reactions to Moleskine’s latest product announcements. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at their product development meetings, as I think some of their decisions are a bit … odd.

Sometimes I Can Resist: Ecosystem Notebooks at B&N

I went to Barnes & Noble today and finally got a close up look at their Ecosystem notebooks.

EBay Find: Westinghouse Diary, 1945

Here’s another neat little item purchased on EBay:

This is a sub-category of notebooks that I could happily collect: small promotional diaries given out to the employees or business partners of various corporations. I have ones in my collection from Sandoz, GE, and the Harvard Coop, and this Westinghouse one was a great addition. First of [...]
