I don't usually buy loose-sheet writing paper, as I don't really write correspondence in hard copy; but the Life Kappan writing paper pad is an exception. Firstly, it isn't strictly loose sheet, as it is lightly glued to its cardboard backing along the top edge. And secondly, this paper is just phenomenal. It makes you look …
Why would anybody write a review of the Rhodia Dotpad? It's ubiquitous—everybody's got one, they're everywhere, and they've been around for years. Exactly. Everybody's got one, and they've been around for years. There must be something about them right? So what's the fascination with this little pad? First-off, it's small; which in this case, is …
There comes a point when pocket-sized, and A5 notebooks just don't cut the mustard (note for North American peoples, this means they're just not up to the job; and no, I have no idea whatsoever why that should have anything to do with mustard).

This is obviously why I …

The Life Japanese Stationery brand of handmade notebooks, writing paper, and other products have become a firm favorite of mine over the last couple of years. I regularly pick up products from my two favorite Toronto stationers, the terrific Take Note (though not so much for buying online), and the all-round amazing Wonder Pens. Both stock the …
Okay, so you're going to forgive the One World Observatory Trade Center Journal quite a bit, just for what it is and where it comes from, which is here. It was bought for me by my wife and daughter, when they took a trip up the observatory... I was in The Fountain Pen Hospital a …
Some years ago, my wife and I were investigating the shelves of our local Chapter's book store.
