Last Night I Dreamed…
… about notebooks. I was in some kind of Home Depot-like store, and saw that they were selling the kind of diary I used to use in the mid-80s, when I was in high school. They were exactly 3×5, with a black faux-leather cover. In the front, they had pages with measurement conversions, city populations, … Continue reading Last Night I Dreamed…
Picadilly Version of the Muji Chronotebook
Which came first? The Muji Chronotebook, which seems to have been around since at least May 2008? Or the “new” Picadilly Sundial Agenda, which looks almost identical?
