Hermès Notebook
I guess I’m lucky that my notebook addiction has never tended to focus itself too much on truly high-end, luxury notebooks like this gorgeous Hermès notebook cover made of ostrich leather. I’ve occasionally coveted such things, and who wouldn’t! But at $1,000 new, or $100-200 used (if you’re lucky enough to find one), plus the … Continue reading Hermès Notebook
Review: Paper Republic Grand Voyageur
I reviewed a beautiful Paper Republic notebook over a year ago– that one was a small hardcover notebook with an elegant cover pattern. Now Paper Republic has branched off into something quite different, but also rather elegant: the Grand Voyageur travel notebook. The style of this notebook is hardly unique– like the Midori Traveler’s Notebook … Continue reading Review: Paper Republic Grand Voyageur
Review: Design.Y Notebooks

If you’re not familiar with this brand, here’s the background: they are handmade in Japan by a Mr. Yoshino. He uses … Continue reading Review: Design.Y Notebooks

I can’t say I’ve found them inspiring at all when I see them in stores– wrong sizes, blah materials… it just makes me sad to see them in comparison to the wonderful things Filofax was making 15 or 20 … Continue reading Filofancy’s Flex

Here’s an interesting look at one person’s notebooks and how she uses them: “I love notebooks and I love seeing other bloggers sharing how they use theirs. It is like getting to see how their minds work on paper! I have lots of notebooks and a few pricey Moleskine that are sitting in boxes unloved since I want to save them … Continue reading Organizing with Notebooks
Filson Horween Leather Notebook Covers
This looks like a rather nice notebook cover– it even comes with a custom Rite in the Rain notebook. But Filson is a high-end brand, and this is pretty high-end pricing: $110 for the 5×7″ size! Via Filson Horween Leather Notebook Covers – Photos • Selectism.
Make Your Own Leather Notebook Cover
I’ve gotten questions from readers before about alternatives to some of the pricy leather notebook covers out there. I haven’t spotted that many cheap ones for sale, until recently discovering Davis Leatherworks, which seems to have some nice-looking and inexpensive covers. But if you enjoy creativity and you’re willing to put in a little effort, … Continue reading Make Your Own Leather Notebook Cover
