One of these days, perhaps after I win the lottery, I’m going to go on a notebook tour of the world. I’ll definitely hit Japan and Germany and the Philippines, and perhaps China if I can somehow infiltrate all the factories there that are churning out notebooks… but Russia will also be a destination high [...]
Here’s a notebook that I’ve never seen in any stores, but spotted on a couple of websites, including Amazon and WB Mason. The online images made the Tops Designer Notebook look like a typical Moleskine-type notebook but in nice colors like blue and red, and the price was quite low. But how does it really [...]
Nrepose of Unposted tipped me off to this rather nice-looking variation on the classic moleskine-ish notebook: the Little Blue Book, from a website called The Forgetful Gentleman. (They also sell a few styles of cards, which will please all who advocate the preservation of handwritten correspondence.)
This may be another case of over-the-top marketing for a [...]
Here’s a couple of nice notebooks made in Singapore: the Monologue and Dialogue notebooks by Grandluxe. I first heard of the brand when I stumbled across this post, and was quite intrigued. Though they aren’t sold in the United States, the company was kind enough to send me some free samples for review.
The Monologue notebook [...]
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
Monologue and Dialogue Notebooks from Grandluxe

I usually find the stationery chain Papyrus to be pretty slim pickings as far as notebooks are concerned, but one day I happened to spot this little gem sitting all alone on a bottom shelf: the Leonardo Pocket Journal.
It’s kind of funny that it has a musical theme– I mean, why didn’t they call it [...]
I love this video!

Apparently this Mexican notebook brand also offers a Moleskinealike– see this link.
Here’s a lovely notebook that I haven’t seen sold in very many places: the Goldline Journal.
It’s made by Tollit and Harvey of the UK, the same people who make the Guildhall notebook. I was never tempted to buy the Guildhall because the paper was lined, but the Goldline has plain paper, and a lovely faux-suede [...]
Ooh, ooh, ooh! Check out this page at Piccadilly’s website.
Apparently they’re introducing softcover notebooks! So far just a lined version, in small, medium and large sizes.
I contacted someone at Piccadilly to get the full scoop: the lined softcover notebooks will be available around the end of September in the bargain section at Borders stores and [...]
I was very interested in this notebook review at Future; Nostalgic: Review: Asda Executive Notebook.
I love the way this notebook has 3 sections in the back pocket! And the prices seem great too. Drawbacks: there is no pocket size version, and it’s only sold at Asda in the U.K.
