Steve at Recording Thoughts has written a marathon series on the question “One Notebook or Many?” Now, I suppose you could argue that this isn’t even a question, as you probably wouldn’t be reading this blog if “many” notebooks wasn’t your idea of a good thing! But the issue here is whether to capture all … Continue reading One Notebook or Many?
Wow, if this isn’t a hot current events post, I don’t know what is! Ok, there’s a lot more at stake in North Korea than what kind of notebooks Kim Jong-Il’s henchmen are using, but I’m fascinated nonetheless.

I am writing this in a notebook because we are out filming. … Continue reading Notebook Stolen by Gaddafi’s Son?
I’m just back from another trip where I used a Moleskine City Notebook, this time for Lisbon. I really enjoy using these on trips, as it’s handier than having to tote around a full guidebook. I stayed in a very central location, and the maps covered most (but not all) of the areas I visited … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Lisbon
It’s time yet again to crowdsource some of the “help me find this notebook” pleas I get, as well as some other tidbits from the mailbag: Zachary wonders “is it wrong that I saw the movie Thor over the weekend and left realizing I really wanted to find out what type of notebook Natalie Portman’s … Continue reading Reader Questions

Paul, a former Addict of the Month, sent me a couple of interesting notebook stories: First, a link to some info about the Jesse Owens Exhibit at a library at Ohio State. From Paul:Â “In Thompson Library on the Ohio State campus, I saw the travel diary of Jesse Owens, for his 1936 trip to … Continue reading Notes from Paul: Jesse Owens’s Diary and 5 Free Notebooks
