This week’s addict emailed me photos of his collection with the following commentary: I’m a normal guy, high school grad and going into college. I’d like to share with you a couple pictures of my notebook collection; though this picture is incomplete, it includes about 80% of all my notebooks. Favorites: red Miquelrius 300-sheet journal [...]
The latest new development from the folks at Piccadilly: colored versions of their Essential Notebooks. They’re only available in lined versions, at least so far. And I guess they’re only available through Piccadilly’s online store now that Borders is going out of business! I hope they’ll find some other retailers to work with soon…
This article talks about the way Moleskine’s loyal fans do a lot of their marketing for them: How Moleskine Converts Fans and Retailers to Brand Ambassadors. This video is included, in which an architect talks about Moleskines and shows off 3 he is currently using. But I found myself wondering if one of them is [...]
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 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
I’ve been thinking about Piccadilly notebooks lately, as things have been changing in the retail landscape for them. Piccadilly has mainly sold their notebooks (by which I mean their Moleskine-like “Essential Notebooks“) exclusively in Borders stores. They are stocked in the bargain section rather than with the rest of the stationery products. As far as [...]
This week’s addict displays this nice neat pile of some of his “secret obsession”– notebooks: Ever since I started drawing, I have been fascinated by books of blank white pages, i.e. Sketchbooks. A book devoid of all content, just waiting to be filled with anything. Throughout highschool I carried a sketchbook with me at all [...]
The Blackwell notebook is an interesting “mole-clone” that has a bit more branding than most, but in an unobtrusive way that I rather like. Below you see the Blackwell notebook next to a Piccadilly notebook– in the front view, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference. (The Blackwell is on the left.) In this photo [...]
As I’ve often mentioned here, I’m a fan of Piccadilly’s little black notebooks. I’ve probably bought 8-10 of them by now and I have used 4 of the small ones as my daily notebook. I haven’t paid as much attention to the rest of their product line, but when I saw the small Primo Journal [...]
A while back, I wrote a post mentioning Ecosystem notebooks. Someone at Ecosystem actually noticed, and even though I more or less trashed their whole brand identity, they were kind enough to send me a sample so I could actually review the quality of the product. (Now that’s good marketing.) So, let’s take a look… [...]
