Notebooks
The other day I almost cackled with glee when I noticed that the McGill Bookstore had received its new shipment of Clairefontaine notebooks. I bought the larger one you see here to replace the notepads I had been using at my desk to plan my day, record happenings, jot down notes, phone messages, etc. It stays at my desk, with my work.
The small Clairefontaine (also grid paper) is my general purpose, always with me, notebook.
The moleskine was meant first for recording 'big phd ideas', and then relegated to 'big ideas', and in general, doesn't get much use. In fact, I've stopped carrying it around with me.
I would recommend the Clairefontaine notebooks over Moleskines. They are of excellent quality, have a good spiral binding (takes up less place, easy to hold in hand and write with anywhere), and cost a lot less then the Moleskines (the two Clairefontaines picutred here together cost less then half of what the Moleskine set me back).
