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).
For We're Here! who are visiting Notebook Mods today.
Just a quick snap as I've been battling a cold.
These Field Notes pocket notebooks are great, but they slowly disintegrate in my pocket.
The duct tape seen here was applied while on the road in Illinois. I was in the lobby of a hotel reviewing my notes from the previous day, when the cover split in two. The lady working the registration desk was kind enough to locate a roll of duck tape for me and a few pieces later, it was good as new.
There are 2 accessories that come with the Brain Pocket. It is a very nice thing to have the string (that acts like a bookmark) decorated. It save me time looking for items to look for items to add-on.

2 handmade notebook covers, made from handmade felt.
The felt pieces I used:
Tight back and raised bands, meaning that the leather on the back is attached directly to the stitched spine of the textblock. The bands are the actual cords on which the signatures are sewn. The leather comes from a well-worn couch that used to be in my childhood home. Front and back covers are thin and somewhat flexible.
My first altered item. I finished this altered composition notebook and just love it for important notes.
An example of a German Edelpappband as described by Peter Verheyen (ref below). Sewn on tapes, leather headbands (see detail img), case binding with leather top and bottom edge.
