Another lovely post, and please stop with the interesting book recs! My TBR is overflowing, and I really want to get to that Elif Sharak book you've already recommended.
I too love notebooks, but I'm a notorious cheapskate when it comes to spending money on good ones. But there is something so luxurious and special about some of them.
Over the years, I've received some lovely notebooks as gifts, though most of them are probably not so expensive (which is absolutely fine! they are still so lovely!). I've also received some stinkers - a spiral bound, bland old thing.
As a sort of middle-brow (if that's a word?) option, here in Vienna I've treated myself and bought gifts for others somewhat lovely notebooks from museum gift shops.
I'm a disorganised mess with notebooks - they're scattered all over the place, some thoughts here, some thoughts there.
Oh, I'm a disorganised mess with notebooks too! I think that's the beauty of them. Oh no, you've mentioned museum gift shops. These are my bank account's nemeses. I can't resist them. And yes, if they're selling notebooks, I'm buying. It's a problem!
Very nice article. I love to write in a journal with a fountain pen. I've lost many idea books, so I don't carry one anymore. I hope my grandchildren read my journals someday.

I'm blabbering again (as usual)!

Physical notebooks are really special. Thanks for writing this love letter about them. <3
You're so welcome - thank you!

Oh my goodness - me too! I agree...very special!
