Louise Carmen Notebook Review Part 1

I’m always a sucker for a nice leather notebook— there is something so seductive about the patina on well-broken in leather, and the way it starts to form to the shape of its contents. It’s what made me love the Filofax notebooks I’ve used in the past, and it’s what made me buy a passport … Continue reading Louise Carmen Notebook Review Part 1

Endeavor Notebook on Kickstarter

The Endeavor Notebook is an intriguing project on Kickstarter. I love the look of the simple leather cover, and the refills are very handsome on their own. The paper is said to be fountain pen friendly. The attachment system might not be the most quick and easy, but it seems like it would be sturdy, … Continue reading Endeavor Notebook on Kickstarter

New and Improved Penroll!

But when I first spotted the Penroll, I was immediately attracted to it and … Continue reading Review and Giveaway: Penroll

The style of this notebook is hardly unique– like the Midori Traveler’s Notebook … Continue reading Review: Paper Republic Grand Voyageur

Notebook Addict of the Week: Ian

This week’s addict has a lovely and emphatically titled website: Pens! Paper! Pencils! All 3 are suitably celebrated there, including these notebooks: This beautiful collection includes Moleskine, Rhodia, Muji, Calepino, Field Notes, and Monsieur Notebook.

Make Your Own Leather Notebook Cover

I’ve gotten questions from readers before about alternatives to some of the pricy leather notebook covers out there. I haven’t spotted that many cheap ones for sale, until recently discovering Davis Leatherworks, which seems to have some nice-looking and inexpensive covers. But if you enjoy creativity and you’re willing to put in a little effort, … Continue reading Make Your Own Leather Notebook Cover
