Snap-closing fasteners have become the more common option for pocket Filofaxes, so I always assumed that having a fastener strap was &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/04/15/the-history-of-the-pocket-slim-filofax-series-introduction/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The History of the Pocket Slim Filofax: Series Introduction</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been looking forward to reading Roland Allen&#8217;s book &#8220;The Notebook&#8221; ever since I first heard about it. I mean, a book about the history of the notebook, what&#8217;s not to like? And yet, when I looked at the table of contents and started flipping through the book, I wondered if I would find it &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/01/28/book-review-the-notebook-a-history-of-thinking-on-paper/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Book Review: &#8220;The Notebook: A History of Thinking on Paper&#8221;</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I came across a very interesting post on the website of the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre. Their Heritage Education Officer Ruth Butler writes about working on a commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, in 2016. She found what she describes as &#8220;a treasure-trove of sketchbooks, diaries, letters and photographs &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2024/12/03/jack-parhams-notebooks/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Jack Parham&#8217;s Notebooks</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In my post about Denbigh notebooks, I linked to a site that had a photo of a Denbigh notebook from the 1960s: Drew Family Diaries. These diaries are worth a post of their own! Roger Drew created a website to share this amazing collection of diaries kept by members of his family, starting with his &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2024/07/22/the-drew-family-diaries/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">The Drew Family Diaries</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seen various stories about people documenting their time under coronavirus lockdowns, using sketchbooks or journals. Here&#8217;s one example, a visual diary kept by a Scottish architect: Prof Alan Dunlop has filled six A4-size sketchbooks since the start of restrictions to limit the spread of the coronavirus. He has sketched scenes inside and outside the &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2020/07/21/lockdown-diaries/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Lockdown Diaries</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
