I see so many interesting notebook stories on other blogs and yet I never get around to doing a link round-up on this site! Trying to get better about that… so here are a few things that caught my eye recently: The Gentleman Stationer reviews a new brand of notebooks called Kunisawa: “…a new venture … Continue reading Other People’s Pages: Notebook Links

Their products, which also include lint rollers and rubber doorstops, are indeed made in China, but the company is actually based in New Zealand.
