Here’s an interesting Asian notebook from a brand that I spotted via Instagram. I saw the Front brand name pop up once or twice and wondered if it was a trendy new brand, but I also thought the notebook just looked nice. From there, it took a bit of internet detective work to actually find … Continue reading Notebook REview: Front Notebook
The folks at FM-31 were kind enough to send me a sample pack of their new line of notebooks. Let’s take a look! FM-31 makes sturdy 3-packs of 5 x 7 3/4″ notebooks with a stitched spine– like Field Notes on steroids! The notebooks are made in the U.S.A and a portion of their proceeds … Continue reading Review & Giveaway: FM-31 Notebooks
This notebook was a random Amazon find. I’d never heard of the brand Superior Maker and figured it was some Chinese manufacturer marketing cheap knock-off notebooks directly. Their products, which also include lint rollers and rubber doorstops, are indeed made in China, but the company is actually based in New Zealand. Other than that, there … Continue reading Review: Superior Maker Notebook
I love getting the chance to review new (or new to me) brands of notebooks.

I purchased this Sensebook notebook several months ago, feeling very excited at the prospect of trying a new notebook brand with some features that set it apart. It’s from a German brand called Transotype that I’d never heard of, but interestingly, their parent company, Holtz, seems to be the makers of the very popular Copic … Continue reading Review: Sensebook Notebook
Black n’ Red is a pretty common brand in many stationery stores, but I haven’t talked about them much on this site, for two reasons. One, that all their notebooks are lined, and I gravitate more towards plain, squared, or dot-grid pages. And two, the Black n’ Red notebooks that I tend to see in … Continue reading Review: Black n’ Red Ruled Notebook and Business Journal
About 2 years ago, I visited a very cute shop in Philadelphia called Omoi Zakka. As Wikipedia explains, “zakka” is a Japanese concept having to do with household items that are attractively designed. The Omoi Zakka shop certainly delivered on that when I was there, with lots of interesting little items for the desk and … Continue reading Notebooks from Omoi Zakka Shop
