Leuchtturm1917 Ruled Notebook Review
Posted by: | Comments
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.

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.
Ecosystem Environmentally Friendly Journals

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.

Close up of the Kiki James British Racing Green Tuscan Wrap Journal
Kiki James, based in England is a manufacturer of luxury leather goods, including some very nice journals and other unique office supplies. I was thrilled when they reached out to me and asked if I would like to review one of their journals, so upon my agreement, they sent over this medium size (8 1/2″ x 6″) British racing green leather Tuscan wrap journal.

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.

The tiny Moleskine Volant Mini notebook
The Moleskine Volant Mini notebook is one of my favorite little notebooks, and you might be able to tell since this is my second post on this notebook. Now its not that I’ve run out of office supplies to review, but this is a slightly different version, and I also had a “what not to do” moment, and a “oh, look what else I can do” moment with this notebook that I wanted to share with you.

Picopad Wallet Notes in the palm of your hand
The Picopad Wallet Notes by Everyday Innovations has to be one of the smallest (3.4″ x 2.1″) notebooks Ive ever seen, and as hard as it may be to believe, it even has a pen tucked away inside of it…this is definitely one of the more unique office supplies Ive written about so far. This is another product that was supplied to me by Alan at Everyday Innovations after having met him at the Stationery Show in NYC.
Stifflexible Colours Notebook

The front cover of the Stifflexible Notebook
Today’s office supply review brings us to yet another notebook, the Stifflexible pocket size notebook. I picked this notebook up during my trip to Boston at the Bromfield Pen Shop, where they have an excellent selection of not only pens, but also inks and stationery. This was one of those last minute impulse purchases because they had a small display sitting on the counter, and since I never tried one of these before, I figured Id grab one to try out.
