					<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another interesting antique notebook from my collection. I love the concept of a diary mixed with a foreign language dictionary. This would have been intended for a soldier who was being sent to fight in France during World War 1, so in a lightweight, compact package, the soldier (or other service member) could both &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2026/04/07/ww1-soldier-sailors-diary/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">WW1 Soldier-Sailor&#8217;s Diary</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Another reader has gotten in touch with a burning question, something I hadn&#8217;t really thought about much. Stephen asks: What are the optimal use cases for a notepad, as opposed to a notebook? I use Rhodia A4 and A5 Bloc pads all the time at my desk, ruled with that great ivory FP-friendly paper; and &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/12/16/how-to-use-a-notepad/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">How to Use a Notepad</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This notebook was a fun eBay find&#8211; so retro, with a kind of sexy-ugly vibe. Often I see things like this and just admire them without buying, but for some reason, I had to have this one, even though lots of things about it don&#8217;t fit my usual notebook preferences. The size is about 6-1/2 &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/12/08/vintage-looseleaf-notebook-from-woolworth/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Vintage Looseleaf Notebook from Woolworth</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Most of my collection of vintage looseleaf notebooks is either basic black ring binders from the first half of the 20th century from makers like Marquette and Wilson Jones, or Filofax organizers from the 1980s and 1990s. I don&#8217;t have that many other brands, so I was happy to add this Succes organizer to my &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/09/02/vintage-succes-seven-star-diary/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Vintage Succes Seven Star Diary</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What are the rules around selling and collecting old notebooks that belonged to other people? I&#8217;ve recently been wondering about this after seeing certain items for sale on various sites, including a diary with very intimate thoughts and full names included. Nothing was blurred out in the listing, so I was able to google the &#8230; <a href="https://www.notebookstories.com/2025/08/05/vintage-journal-ethics/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Vintage Journal Ethics</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
