Zequenz Notebooks Discovered at The Stationery Show in NYC
It sometimes takes a bit of time before I can actually get my hands on review samples of products that I see when I go to the National Stationery Show in NY, and in the case of these Zequenz journals, it was totally worth the wait. Pictured above are the 4 samples that the folks from Zequenz sent to me, for review. The notebooks are available in black and red, in graph, blank, and ruled in multiple sizes, and although they are not able to be purchased through an online sore yet, the manufacturer has told me that I can supply the following to email addresses for now (zenith@zenithpaper.com 360creativelife@gmail.com) if you are interested in purchasing them. They can currently accept PayPal as a form of payment as well, and if you would like to check out their website it can be found at Zequenz.com…so now on to the review.

The Decomposition Book Recycled Composition Book
Here is my first review of a product that I found at the 2010 National Stationery Show, and hopefully Ill have a bunch more to come that I will spread out over the next few weeks. This is an environmentally friendly composition book which is very cleverly called “The Decomposition Book” in recognition of its green characteristics. There were lots of green office supplies at the Stationery Show, but this one by far had the most creative name, along with having some impressive features. The Decomposition Book (via Amazon) is made by Michael Roger Press.

The Leuchtturm1917 Ruled Notebook
The Leuchtturm1917 notebook is relatively new in the US market, however as its name implies it has been around since 1917, and with the tag line “Details Matter” you can tell from the notebook that they have spent those 90 years perfecting the little details of their notebooks. I picked up this version of the Small Ruled Leuchtturm1917 from Organize.com a few weeks ago, and am now getting to review this fun office supply.
A Notebook in Disguise

Is this a netbook or a notebook?
When I spoke with the nice folks at DayCraft, I asked them about their line of notebooks that looked like laptops, and although they told me that they were not going forward with production because of quality concerns, they agreed to send me one anyway. So keeping in mind that you will never be able to buy one of these, I thought Id share anyway because I thought it was a great idea, and visually, it looks pretty cool.
Daycraft Signature Notebook with 100g Paper

The Daycraft Signature Notebook with Aqua Cover and Orange Accents
Back in December, I was contacted by the people who manufacture the Daycraft series of notebooks and planners to see if I would try out some of their products and review them here. At first I was a bit reluctant because they were not yet offering their products here in the US, however being that they are so popular in China, and that they do have plans for introducing these into the US soon, I figured I should check them out. I was also intrigued because the paper in this notebook is advertised as 100 gsm, putting it a shade thicker and heavier than what you would find in the 90 gsm Rhodia Web Notebooks that are always a pleasure to write in.

From left to right, the ecosystem Author, Artist, and Advisor
Sometimes it’s not enough to just have some unique or cool office supplies, it helps to know that you are also using environmentally friendly office supplies, and supporting American jobs. In the case of these journals from ecosystem and Barnes & Noble, you can accomplish both of those goals. The folks at ecosystem were kind enough to send over these three samples for me to review, but for now we are only going to focus on two of them, the Author and the Artist journals. The planner, also known as the Advisor will get its own review in the next few days.

The Pantone Universe A5 Notebook with lots of orange pens and some orange ink
I almost forgot I had this Pantone Universe A5 notebook that I picked up from Maido in San Francisco a few months ago. Being a big fan of most things orange, it was hard to pass this one up when I saw it, and I thought Id make this review a little fun by using only orange pens and ink since I do have a good variety of them.

The Pro & Con Note Pad
I’ve seen these notepads around before so when the folks at Usefulthings.com offered me one to review, I thought it would make for a fun post. In the past I have actually drawn up something similar to this when I was stuck with a hard decision, and it turned out to be pretty helpful.

The Whitelines Pocket Lined Notebook
A while back I reviewed a Whitelines Notebook that I really enjoyed using, and actually still do enjoy using, so I wanted to write up another of their notebooks. This one is the pocket sized lined version, which is much smaller, but still quite nice.
