I'm strangely fascinated by these. They somehow appeal to my desire to be organized, but not TOO organized!<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Dodo-Pad-Desk-Diary-2009/dp/1903001471/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461106927434060503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-10416312918997298222008-07-18T11:13:00.000-04:002008-07-18T11:13:00.000-04:00Thanks, Laurie!

I usually have several notebooks going at once as journals, records-keeping, etc. My favorite notebooks for general purpose are Clairefontaine, because I love the paper, colorful covers, and various sizes/ formats (ring bound, hard cover, etc.) I have used various Moleskine notebooks over the years, and they are good, but Quo Vadis now has worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06461106927434060503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-84218877758545685942008-07-17T07:42:00.000-04:002008-07-17T07:42:00.000-04:00Hi.I know these notebooks, and have had a few of t...Hi.<BR/><BR/>I know these notebooks, and have had a few of them. Also some in A4 for lecture notes and such.

I found that having a bound notebook meant set pages and sections that weren't expandable if needed to be. I also love my A5 Filofax but I have too much info to put into it - not all of which I need to carry around. So I came up with the perfect solution for me.
