Did anyone else attend one of these events:Â Â Moleskine Words in N.Y. City? I did! I went over to A. I. Friedman, which is one of my favorite places to browse notebooks, and they had a table set up in the front of the store, with a throng of people around it already. A friendly Moleskine … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Moleskine Words in N.Y. City
Okami tipped me off to this week’s addict, who is a notebook maker himself. Arnie Kim is the man behind Banditapple Carnets. (See Okami’s glowing review.) Based on the photo below, he must have done a lot of research about the competition! See original image at My notebooks collection on DailyBooth. Here’s Okami’s photo … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Arnie
Curt Roper has lived out a fantasy many of us have: he designed his perfect fountain pen friendly notebook, and manufactured it so he could not only have a lifetime supply, but sell it to others too! Let’s take a look at the sample Hitlist notebook he sent me: I like the design– the cover … Continue reading Review: Hitlist Notebook
Here’s interesting new notebook brand I came across via notizbuchblog.de: Whitebook It’s another version of the modular style with interchangeable inserts, similar to Kolo or X17 or Midori, but with its own twist and some different features, such as a pen loop and elastics that will hold sheets inside the back cover. The cover is … Continue reading Whitebook Notebooks
Here’s another entry in the modular notebook field, the X17 Notebook, which was kindly sent to me for review by the German manufacturer. (They also make the X47 notebooks, which are a more upscale version in leather, with a metal rod that holds the inserts, and their format is used in DayRunner’s “Life Tracker” notebooks.) … Continue reading X17 Notebook Review
I always like coming across random images of notebooks in advertisements. This one is rather intriguing: Here’s a close-up: I can’t help wondering where they got that notebook! Or perhaps they made it? It sort of looks like a Midori Traveler’s Notebook, with the raw-edged leather cover and 3 smaller booklets within. But the booklets … Continue reading Notebook in Arnold Sandwich Thins Ad

Starting from the bottom: Sheet Music Journal Duchessa Music Notes I bought this journal from Barnes and Noble. It’s my my current journal … Continue reading Notebook Addict of the Week: Tracy
This is one of the coolest customized cahiers I’ve seen: Via Make: Online : Designer Moleskines.
Here’s a fun Moleskine hack I found on Flickr, taking the pages out of a planner and using the cover to hold 3 cahiers. I’ve been wanting to try something similar myself, but with the cahiers somehow bound to the cover rather than remaining loose when the elastic is opened. Haven’t quite figured out how … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Three in One
