I bought this notebook almost 3 years ago and only just recently got around to unwrapping it. I almost didn’t buy it– though I immediately coveted it when I saw it at A.I. Friedman in NYC, it was priced at $17.60, discounted from an even more ridiculous $22! It’s just a pretty standard pocket size [...]
This week’s addict emailed me a couple of months ago with this lovely photo: He says: I’ve been collecting notebooks forever and every time I take a trip somewhere it seems I come back with a few more. All that is fine, but since new year is around the corner and it’s time for some [...]
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, [...]
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, [...]
Here’s some cool-looking Miquelrius notebooks that I’ve never seen in a store: Design Boardbound Notebooks. The label on the front makes them kind of resemble the Vickerey Old Style School Quaderno journals that I reviewed a few months back. A commenter noted that those no longer seem to be sold at Vickerey, so perhaps these [...]
I have quite a to-do list going with various new notebooks to review, not to mention old ones from my collection. Here’s a few of my recent purchases and samples I’ve received that you’ll get a look at in the next couple of months: Simple Diary Rhodia Notepad Kolo Essex Travel Book Tops Designer Notebook [...]
I’ve noticed a couple of great posts about notebooks by Range over at Memoirs on a Rainy Day. I love it when people can just talk about their notebooks and why they like them and how they use them, as in this post: Notebook Obsession and Rhodia Love. He doesn’t have a photo of his [...]
A reader named Carol sent me a really nice email a couple of months ago and I’m finally getting around to making her an Addict of the Week. Here’s some of what she had to say (I’m blushing as I write this!): I love you, I love your website, and I love all the other [...]
These have been a long time coming! I mentioned these forthcoming Miquelrius notebooks during the first month of this blog’s existence. From the Toronto Globe & Mail: He’s already designed for some of the coolest companies (Nike, BMW), showed at the best galleries (Tate Modern, MoMa) and even invaded our homes (with Umbra’s critically acclaimed [...]
