So what questions or discussion points have you got for us today?We have to thank Nick for sending in the following post about his recent purchase of the Filofax Japan Centennial Edition that we featured last year here on Philofaxy.
I’ve never seen or held a classic Winchester in person, but after you posted about the Japanese Winchester Centennial release, I became curious. I watched several auctions on eBay, but all were ridiculously overpriced. Finally, I noticed one available via Amazon Japan for what I believe to be the retail price (approx. 361 USD), and I decided to pull the trigger.
It’s beautifully packaged – large outer cardboard carton, and a very durable, thick box with an interior cover insert and velvety cloth wrapping.
The fill (not pictured) was disappointing – exactly the same as the standard Luxury fill (icon front sheet, cotton cream stationery, brown ruler/pagemarker).
All in all, I’m very pleased – I hope Filofax decides to launch a reissue in the UK/US as well.
Thank you Nick for sharing the images and your thoughts about this organiser. What do you think, would you buy one? Let us know in the comments below.
So now it is time to enjoy a few blog posts from around the internet, so grab a drink and make yourself comfortable for our weekly round-up.

A few years ago I made the observation that the transition from Spring to Summer brought about a change in the size of organiser people used for the summer months.
We would often see people move from A5 to Personal or Personal to Pocket. The reasons people did this seemed to vary. I wondered if people wanted something smaller because summer clothes/bags didn’t lend themselves so well to larger organisers.
I have tended to stay in the same size organiser all year around. The actual model of organiser might change, but it’s the same page size.
If anything my organiser starts to really get used even more at this time of year, this is down to more travelling and a lot more tasks at this time of the year with things to be done outside in the garden that are generally left alone in winter.
Do you change the size of your organiser in the summer or not?
Of course it is Friday so please feel free to discuss anything else organiser related. Have a productive and pleasant weekend.
How did you get on? Was this too easy or too hard?
