Here’s another fun eBay find: a vintage Marquette looseleaf notebook. I’m always quite excited to find vintage notebooks like this that are in excellent condition despite being at least 60 or 70 years old. This notebook is pocket size, measuring approximately 3 5/8 x 5 1/2″. The cover is faux leather and somewhat flexible. Aside … Continue reading Vintage Marquette Looseleaf Notebook

Thinkers Notebook Review

One of the more recent entries to the world of digital/analog notebooks is the Thinkers Notebook and its companion app. When the makers contacted me to offer a sample for review, I wasn’t sure what yet another proprietary notebook/app combo would do to distinguish itself, but the Thinkers Notebook actually fills a niche. The Thinkers … Continue reading Thinkers Notebook Review

Spiral and Wire-O Notebooks from My Collection, Part 1

Some of my earliest notebook obsessions were spiral and wire-o binding notebooks. Back when I was a kid, other kinds of notebook were not as easy to find, or were prohibitively expensive for a kid to buy with her allowance. Nowadays, I rarely find myself using a wire bound notebook, but I thought I’d take … Continue reading Spiral and Wire-O Notebooks from My Collection, Part 1

Notebooks from Ireland

Ireland is a fun place to visit. But I didn’t find it a wholly satisfying place for notebook shopping, which is always on my agenda when traveling. A few months ago, I was in Dublin and a few other towns, but most of the time, the pickings seemed slim. It was hard to even find … Continue reading Notebooks from Ireland

Taotree Notebook Review

I do a lot of notebook browsing on Amazon, and therefore see a ton of sponsored product recommendations for notebooks. Most of them are not that interesting. But the Taotree Notebook started popping up a lot a few months ago and I was intrigued. So many of the generic notebooks you see on Amazon only … Continue reading Taotree Notebook Review

Waverley Scotland Notebook Review & Giveaway

I’ve been coveting a Waverley Scotland notebook ever since I first saw them at Kinokuniya, so I was thrilled when the company sent me a sample to review! The sample I received is one of Waverley’s pocket size Commonplace Books. I rather like that they call them “commonplace books” rather than the more common “journal” … Continue reading Waverley Scotland Notebook Review & Giveaway

Letts Notebook Review

It’s been more than 8 years since I reviewed a notebook from Letts! This classic English brand has been around even longer than that, though… since 1812, in fact! Letts claims to be the first publisher of “commercial diaries,” meaning a mass-produced calendar book combined with space to write and usually some business-related promotional info … Continue reading Letts Notebook Review
