The Kolo Essex Travel Book is an interesting hybrid of a Moleskine-type notebook and a Filofax. From the outside, it looks a lot like a Moleskine, but with some important differences. The binding is cloth, with a window in which you can insert your own image. An elastic band holds it shut. On the back, … Continue reading Review: Kolo Essex Travel Book

The Revolver Journal is a relatively new introduction to the notebook scene– I say relatively, because they sent me a sample over a year ago and I’m just now getting around to reviewing it!

The first is a quite unique notebook, made by Pilot and branded “THE-II” on the front. The cover is a very retro leather-textured plastic: But here’s what … Continue reading Review: Japanese Notebooks from Kinokuniya
As I’ve often mentioned here, I’m a fan of Piccadilly’s little black notebooks. I’ve probably bought 8-10 of them by now and I have used 4 of the small ones as my daily notebook. I haven’t paid as much attention to the rest of their product line, but when I saw the small Primo Journal … Continue reading Review: Piccadilly Primo

You might think April is a little early to be declaring a Notebook Addict of the Year.
