Steve at Recording Thoughts has written a marathon series on the question “One Notebook or Many?” Now, I suppose you could argue that this isn’t even a question, as you probably wouldn’t be reading this blog if “many” notebooks wasn’t your idea of a good thing! But the issue here is whether to capture all [...]
This week’s addict was found on Flickr, with a colorful selection of Filofaxes and other notebooks: I love her color-themed collections! See more at My Journals, Diaries and Notebooks – a set on Flickr.
This week’s addict is a blogger you all should know: Laurie from Plannerisms. Check out her fabulous collection, comfortably (but crowdedly)housed in its own bookcase: She points out: Note that this bookcase is nearly 6 feet tall. Also notice most shelves are two rows deep. Man, that’s a lot of notebooks and planners! One of [...]
A fun article in this past weekend’s New York Times: Calendar Wars Pit Electronics Against Paper. A few quotes from paper fans: “I’ve got an iPad, an iPod, I’m on Twitter and Facebook and I’m talking on my BlackBerry now,” said Nelson George, a cultural critic, filmmaker and producer, in a phone interview. “But that’s [...]
This week’s addict has quite a stack of Filofaxes! She also admits to having quite a few other notebooks and agendas, and says these are all unused. She also shows off this rather luscious-looking Hermès agenda! See more at Sheapup’s Flickr photostream.
g_m_a_x has some drool-worthy Filofax photos on his Flickr photostream, including this one, which is by no means his full collection: Looking at the photos almost gives me the shivers– the Filofaxes have obviously been collected over the years, from back when they were made with much higher-end materials. So many gorgeous leathers, so deliciously [...]

Andrea sent me these great photos of her notebook collection, with the notes below. Pen and ink lovers, there’s an extra bonus for you! I am student of classical archaeology (hardly working on the dissertation thesis) and few months ago I found your website. I was so glad that I am not the only one, [...]
I enjoyed this article in yesterday’s New York Times Magazine: The Demise of Datebooks, by Virginia Heffernan. I miss my Filofax datebook, with its six rings and dark red leather binder. I had a green one first, with a calendar that cast each week across two cream-colored pages. Back then, at age 30, I was [...]
This week’s notebook addict has the distinction of being our first Filofax addict: This is a particularly hard to justify form of notebook addiction– after all, a Filofax is a durable, refillable binder: you can’t “use it up” the way you can with other bound notebooks and journals. 10 Moleskine-type notebooks might not seem like [...]
