The Next-Notebook Dilemma
I very much identified with this post at Writer’s Little Helper: I am nearing the end of a notebook. One page left and it will be another filled. I like the achievement of finishing notebooks but there is also the fright. What sort of notebook shall I use next, will I be able to write … Continue reading The Next-Notebook Dilemma
Notebook Addict of the Week: Cat’s Jot Spot
“Haha I think I have a problem!” says Cat, about this: 40% off coupons at Borders are indeed dangerous! Moleskine, Doane, and Rhodia… A little much? « Cat’s Jot Spot.
Piccadilly Stockpile?
I am really liking the small squared Piccadilly I’ve switched to as my current daily notebook. The quality is much improved from the first Piccadilly notebooks I bought— the elastic is tight, the back pocket works, and everything just seems solid. I like the paper, which is nice and smooth and seems to resist more … Continue reading Piccadilly Stockpile?

Piccadilly Follow-Up
I just barely started using my small lined Piccadilly notebook this week (as a reading journal where I’ll keep track of books I’ve read), but I’d noticed even before I started that the elastic was already getting loose– the parts that hit the edges have lost their stretch, though the middle of the elastic still … Continue reading Piccadilly Follow-Up
Piccadilly Squared Notebooks Coming in April
One of the frequent comments on Piccadilly’s Moleskine-like notebooks has been that people wish there was a version with graph/ squared paper. Well, wish no more! According to the Piccadilly website, they’ll have them in April! The question, though, is whether any retailers will have them. Black Cover’s review mentioned that a gridded version was … Continue reading Piccadilly Squared Notebooks Coming in April
Finally Bought a Couple of Piccadilly Notebooks
On a weekend trip to a Borders bookstore, I finally purchased two Piccadilly notebooks. I have to say, they didn’t make it easy! First of all, the notebooks were scattered in various places throughout the store– on an endcap tucked away in the fiction section, on another random rack near the fiction area where a … Continue reading Finally Bought a Couple of Piccadilly Notebooks
Weekend Shopping
I stopped by a Borders store in Southbury, Connecticut this weekend, and look what I saw: Barnes & Noble isn’t the only chain bookstore offering some exclusive Moleskine items– Borders offers this “brick,” a lined notebook bundled with 2 cahiers: This display of journals was quite attractive. I tend to use mainly plain black journals, … Continue reading Weekend Shopping
