Some Notebooks on Kickstarter

Here’s a few recent and in some cases still active Kickstarter notebook projects you might want to check out:

 

Stateside Co. Notebooks

Attractive design, but those intricate cut-outs on the cover will be trashed the first time you put the notebook in a bag or pocket. Deadline for funding is August 14, 2014. They’re already past their goal.

 

The Perfect Sketchbook for Travel Artists and Art Enthusiasts

“Perfect” is a big word to live up to, but this looks interesting. High quality paper and a few extra features not seen in other notebooks, such as a value chart. Grandluxe, whose notebooks I’ve reviewed before, will be a partner in manufacturing. I was intrigued enough to pledge $20. Deadline for funding is Thursday August 21, 2014. As of this writing, they’re at about $15,000 pledged towards a $50,000 goal.

The Sketchy Notebook

This was already successfully funded, well exceeding the initial goal. Nice concept– a notebook with plain paper that comes with a set of templates for different line and grid patterns. You slide them behind the page you’re using and the pattern shows through as a guideline. Does that mean the paper is too thin for a lot of pens? Perhaps, but this should appeal to a lot of people anyway.

 

Other past notebook projects I’ve funded:

LatLon Notebooks

Furrow Books

Both of these successfully exceeded their funding goals, but I haven’t yet received any notebooks to actually review. I hope they’ll be shipping soon!
