I Keep Looking at My Notebooks
I have built up a nice little stash of notebooks in one of my desk drawers at work… the problem is that I keep being distracted from my job by having to open the drawer and peek at them…

Notebook Addict of the Week: Emmanuel
This week’s addict has a habit of filling Moleskine and Rhodia notebooks. Look at these nice stacks! The Moleskine stack is pretty impressive given that he says he remembers first holding a Moleskine in his hands in January 2012. The Rhodias are from 2003-2006. Emmanuel says he wrote the first book in French about the … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Emmanuel
Notebook Addict of the Week: VacuousMinx
This week’s addict displays an orderly and attractive collection of notebooks in a blog post that begins as follows: “There are so many notebooks out there, good ones, that I started to become a little paralyzed at the idea of trying to say anything useful. I would leave so many out! I would fail to … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: VacuousMinx
Moleskine Monday: I May Never Buy a New Moleskine Again
I am really quite depressed. I keep poking around in stores, looking at their stock of Moleskines to see if anything’s changed with how they’re making them. At one point several months ago, I’d had a glimmer of optimism that maybe there had just been a blip in their manufacturing rather than an overall decline … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: I May Never Buy a New Moleskine Again
Matthew William Robinson’s Sketchbook
Design Sponge has some great “sketchbook sneak peek” posts. This was one of my favorites, for the way it shows the thought process behind an artist’s work. Here’s what Matthew William Robinson’s finished work looks like: And here are some pages from his sketchbooks. There’s nothing perfect and pretty about them, they’re more about thought … Continue reading Matthew William Robinson’s Sketchbook
Notebook Addict of the Week: Peaches
Peaches emailed me lots of photos of her collection, and some musings on the various brands of notebooks she’s tried… but I think she’ll keep trying even more: “I still haven’t found the 100% perfect notebook, which would have thick, off-white plain paper and be a hardback just under A5 size. The closest I … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Peaches
Notebook Addict of the Week: Biffybeans
This is an oldie but a goodie, and when I came across it, I wondered how I’d never selected Biffybeans aka Stephanie as an addict of the week before. Many of you probably know her well, as the blogger at both Spiritual Evolution of the Bean and Rhodia Drive, as well as a talented artist. … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Biffybeans
Just a Bad Batch?
I was in a newly opened Staples store the other day, where they had a couple of big displays of Moleskines. I don’t recall seeing Moleskines in Staples in the past, so perhaps they’ve just started carrying them. But what I was very happy to see was that of the stock they had on hand, … Continue reading Just a Bad Batch?
Notebook Addict of the Week: Stefanie
Aside from notebooks, one of my other great loves is books. So I completely identified with this week’s addict’s linking of the two : Bookish people tend to like books with words already in them as well as books that are blank and waiting to be filled by their own hands. I know I do. … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Stefanie
