Notebook Stories

I can’t pronounce this addict’s name, but I like the collection, which appears here on Flickr with annotations.

Here we have another super-addict whose love for notebooks extends to loving to shower them upon others! Anene is the author of a novel, Dancing with Gravity, and the blog Anene Writes. She offered to send me “a couple” of notebooks and look what showed up!    It’s an amazing variety, from a simple Mead [...]

This week’s addict says “I’m Ina, I’m twenty, I live in Manila, Philippines. If I wasn’t broke right now, I would run to a bookstore and buy as much notebooks as I like. Sigh.” Love these photos, which include a friend standing in as a measuring tool! This was her collection as of March 31, [...]

This week’s addict emailed me these wonderful photos and commentary about her notebooks. You can read more and see larger images on Flickr. I’m an addict.  Although I have more than in my photos, I don’t really have more than I will use (except let’s not count my addiction to Field Notes, yeesh).  These photos [...]

This week’s addict emailed me a link to her Flickr photo stream, which includes these photos (and more) of her very large collection of journals. Wow:     Here’s what she has to say about them: From the attic to various places in my bedroom: paper as far as the eye can see… I’ve always [...]

This week’s addict admits he is a notebook junkie:   I may have a problem. My obsession with notebooks started early. My first love was a perforated Mead notebook (non-spiral). I was a budding cartoonist during elementary and middle school and the fact that I could cleanly remove my creations was a big deal.  Not [...]

This week’s addict was nominated by her friend Julie, who sent me this link to a post with a plethora of notebooks and journals! Here’s just a few of the 38 notebooks I counted in Trece’s post! See more at List-It Tuesday: Journal Possibilities

This week’s Addict loves composition books. She has a row of old ones used as journals, plus lots of colorful new ones bought cheap during back to school sales! Read more at Back-to-school: Colorful Composition Notebooks — Caroline Rutledge Armijo.

I picked up this Mead notebook after a tip from a reader, who had noticed that they were available only at Wal-Mart. Though Mead is obviously a major brand that is available everywhere, it would appear that Wal-Mart asked them to come up with an inexpensive Moleskine-ish notebook that they could offer as an exclusive.
