Here’s something for everyone whose New Year’s Resolution is to start keeping a diary! A few months ago, I was sent a free sample of an interesting journal called Keel’s Simple Diary. It’s quite different from most of the items I’ve reviewed. It’s a sort of hybrid, I guess– perhaps more of a creativity prod … Continue reading Review: The Simple Diary

The Moleskine Color-a-Month 2010 Daily Planner has turned a lot of heads this year– it’s certainly the most colorful and unusual product Moleskine has introduced. But what’s inside that chunky rainbow package? Let’s take a look!

What nice people they are over there at Doane Paper… I’ve been intrigued by their products for a while but hadn’t gotten to the point of buying anything, mainly because you had to buy a set of 3 Utility Notebooks and I just wanted to try one… but by a happy coincidence, I was able … Continue reading Review: Doane Paper Notebooks

Presign International is based in the Netherlands, and they make a variety of stationery products including notebooks. The samples I received are from their … Continue reading Review & Giveaway: PSN & Flash Notebooks

It’s kind of funny that it has a musical theme– I mean, why didn’t they call … Continue reading Review: Leonardo Pocket Journal

Well, here’s something that’s sort of close: a pocket size lab notebook from The Book Factory. I’ve written about this company before— they’re based in the US, which is a rarity for notebook makers these … Continue reading Review & Giveaway: Book Factory Notebooks
Here’s a lovely notebook that I haven’t seen sold in very many places: the Goldline Journal. It’s made by Tollit and Harvey of the UK, the same people who make the Guildhall notebook. I was never tempted to buy the Guildhall because the paper was lined, but the Goldline has plain paper, and a lovely … Continue reading Review: The Goldline Journal
I was very interested in this notebook review at Future; Nostalgic: Review: Asda Executive Notebook. I love the way this notebook has 3 sections in the back pocket! And the prices seem great too. Drawbacks: there is no pocket size version, and it’s only sold at Asda in the U.K.
