Featured here not long ago as a Notebook Addict of the Week, Mr. Bill had quite a few Moleskines. But he decided to give them all away! I’ve probably given away a notebook or two over the years, when I was positive it was something I didn’t really like and would never use. And I’ve … Continue reading Some Addicts Can Let Go

Introducing my first (rather amateurish!) notebook video– this is a look at the notebook I just finished using. I’ll try to post more notebook videos in the future, and if any readers want to submit links to their own YouTube videos of notebooks, I’ll share those too.

A frugal notebook is a place to organize all these useful tools. It’s easy to put together … Continue reading A Notebook for Saving Money
Here’s the latest Notebook Addict of the Week, found on Flickr: They are filled with drawings and collage in a very raw style, by Kier Cooke Sandvik of Norway, whose profile reads as follows: transsexual, atheistic anarchist. I’m Other. See all the Flickr images here, (though I’m not sure the original set is still on … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: A Norwegian Artist
So the first question about the new Moleskine Folio sketchbook is “HOW BIG IS IT?” Is it this big? Is it this big? Is it this big?
