Today I’m reviewing yet another variant on the basic black notebook that has become so ubiquitous. This time, it’s the Scribe Plain Notebook. An initial impression of this notebook might suggest that it’s just like a Moleskine, but I actually found it more similar to the Pen & Ink notebook I reviewed here, or some [...]

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 [...]
Jessica compares a Moleskine sketchbook to a Greenapple notebook, a much less expensive brand found in the Philippines. Her comments: different elastic, doesn’t open as flat, and the paper is whiter and coarser. Worth a try at about 1/4 the price of a Moleskine! (At least if you live in the Philippines.) Has anyone else [...]
Our latest addict of the week is Hannah, who blogs at Slightly Lovely. Here’s her stash: And here’s what she has to say about them: This is a pile of notebooks gathered from around my bedroom (I’m sure there are more hidden on shelves, in closets & drawers). In this pile, there are spiral notebooks, [...]
Sometimes simple things are the best, don’t you think? It almost seems superfluous to review a notebook like this basic Rhodia pad, which the lovely people at Exaclair included when they sent me a Webnotebook to review. But I will do my best to subject it to my usual scrutiny! This pad is a “Bloc [...]

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 [...]

I reviewed Kikkerland’s Writersblok notebooks a while back, and now it seems their product line is expanding with these “Bamboo” notebooks, sold at RevDesign. I didn’t love the paper in the old notebooks, so maybe this new 80 gsm bamboo paper would be an improvement. They also seem to have a different binding with more [...]

I’ve noticed a couple of great posts about notebooks by Range over at Memoirs on a Rainy Day. I love it when people can just talk about their notebooks and why they like them and how they use them, as in this post: Notebook Obsession and Rhodia Love. He doesn’t have a photo of his [...]

I love, love, LOVE Kolby Kirk’s travel journal. He’s documenting his project to do 100 hikes between May 5, 2009 and the end of this year. He’s about to embark on hike #77 as I write this! He uses a plain, pocket size Moleskine journal and each page is gorgeous– notes, maps, sketches, objects pasted [...]
