Notebook in “Widows”

Another sighting of an interesting notebook, this time in the movie Widows. I won’t get into any plot details that might be spoilers, but here’s a couple screen shots of the notebook.

It looks to be approximately 5 x 8″, a nicely broken-in leather cover containing a squared notebook. It seems quite thick, but there are obviously other pieces of paper tucked in. The paper looks like it could be a Moleskine, but in the brief glimpses you get of the spine, there doesn’t seem to be a hard black cover. It could be one of their softcover notebooks in a lighter color, or perhaps some other brand. Anyone else have any guesses?

  1. I’m guessing it’s one of those thick 500 page Miquelrius softcover grid notebooks with a custom leather cover around it.

  2. No guesses from me, but I remember wishing I could rifle through that notebook when I was watching the movie! It’s always cool to see analog items featured prominently in contemporary films.

  3. I just saw “Widows” myself and thought the same thing about the notebook. As a traveler’s notebook fan (the generic leather notebook with elastic strings to hold individual inserts) I thought that might be what we see. Your first photo showing the angle from the top could be showing individual inserts (A5?) within the cover. These notebook “systems” come in a wide range of sizes from a bunch of small makers. Here’s a selection available from Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/market/travelers_notebook
