High Snobiety on Notebooks

It’s back to school time, so everyone’s posting about the best notebooks and pens. But a post at High Snobiety actually caught my eye with a lot of notebook brands I’d never heard of. Many of their picks are a bit more expensive than your average back to school notebook… just a bit… That said, … Continue reading High Snobiety on Notebooks

Muji Notebook Review: A6 Slim

I can’t believe this is my first Muji notebook review! I’m a big fan of the Japanese chain Muji. I first went to one of their stores in London at least 15 years ago and loved their minimal aesthetic and practical offerings. Back then, I mainly remember buying a recycled yarn t-shirt and a small … Continue reading Muji Notebook Review: A6 Slim

The Strategist’s 100 Best Notebooks

A few weeks ago, New York Magazine’s “Strategist” column ran an article ranking the 100 best notebooks. I bookmarked it but it took me a while to go back and absorb all the info. Having now read through the whole thing, let’s just say I have some issues with it! The best spiral-bound, leather, lined, … Continue reading The Strategist’s 100 Best Notebooks

Notebook Addict of the Week: e2g4

This week’s addict is another Reddit user, who posted the image below of his tidy and consistent collection: Notebooks. It’s not fancy, but each month I put it on the shelf and grab a new one. I used to have nice notebooks, but then I tried to standardize and reduce the barrier to drawing. I … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: e2g4

This week’s addict is @tummyy, who posted this image on Twitter with the comment “My collection of small notebooks is beginning to get out of hand??” I don’t think it’s all that bad just yet, do you?

Notebook Addict of the Week: Herman

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 … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Herman

Notebook Addict of the Week: Thriftygal

This week’s addict sent me a link to the photo below. She can’t be all that thrifty if she buys all these notebooks, can she?! But I’m all for prioritizing one’s budgeting, and there’s always a line in mine for notebooks! Great collection– I see a Penguin notebook, some Muji notebooks, Archie Grand, a Star … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Thriftygal

Why Ming Stopped Using a Moleskine

I bookmarked these posts ages ago: Why I stopped using a moleskine (part 1) and (part 2). I’m always fascinated by the different ways the Moleskine brand has imprinted itself on people, and the passion it can inspire. And as with all great passions, when the love affair ends, equally strong feelings are experienced. Ming … Continue reading Why Ming Stopped Using a Moleskine

Notebook Addict of the Year: Carmen

You might think April is a little early to be declaring a Notebook Addict of the Year. Well, I’m ashamed to say I have been trying to get this post ready for months, so it really should have gone up last year. But I’m not sure it even matters what year it is, because Carmen … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Year: Carmen
