Apica notebooks are surprisingly slim notebooks made in Japan. They also have paper which is quite smooth- almost as nice as Clairfontaine. There appears to be a bit of bleedthrough, however, for such a thin paper, this is to be expected. I hope to have images of the bleedthrough up sometime soon as well. Very smooth... makes me want to write more in them very soon.

For the past few years, due to the phenomenal success of Moleskine, many notebook manufacturers copied the form factors and "created" notebooks that are either lower in quality or expensive without a reason/design. In fact, in the last PaperWorld visit I found literally 15-20 Moleskine "rip-offs". CIAK however stands out from any of these followers both because of the unique features and quality with a reasonable price.
Simply said, CIAK is handmade entirely in Italy with leather-like cover and a patent protected elastic band application on the cover. These already made a huge difference to the rest of the crowd.
In this post you can only see 2 colors and 2 models of notebooks but the actual range of their product is far bigger, including photo albums, card holders, planners, organizers etc. I have to mention the subtle imperfect coloring of the leather-like cover is done by design rather than product flaw, which gives the products a more natural looking touch.
The photos you see here shows the new Pocket Slim notebooks, which has several unique features comparing to the other releases. A thin ballpoint pen is included and protected by the elastic band. There is also a pocket on the inside of the back cover which opens boldly outward (opposite to the typical Moleskine back pocket) thanks to the protection of the elastic band, which reduces strain to the spine of the notebook as well as increasing the expandability. Finally on the last page you will find a foldable world map.
The crude fact about CIAK comparing to Moleskine is that it is not as famous as the most popular notebook, yet it is entirely handmade in Italy as supposed to China. And in terms of raw material comparing to Moleskine, you get durable leather-like cover instead of hard oilcloth and the elastic band is far stronger than Moleskine (I found that the Moleskine soft cover diary is using a lower quality elastic band, which I'll report later). However, CIAK is not perfect, there is one very weak point comparing to Moleskine: It can't lie flat when opened. I'm sure it can be improved. This Pocket Slim version however reduced the weakness simply because of its .... slimness.
Finally, just 2 more pictures of CIAK's other less popular product lines: A Card Holder and a Golf Notes. I am sure CIAK will gain more and more popularity, again because of the price point and product quality.

ミドリのMDノートとモンブランのスターウォーカー万年筆。
The spiral-bound "things to do" notebook, the composition book for the "Daily Pages" (inspired by Julia Cameron's "Morning Pages"), the folder containing our calendar and stull for appointments, all on my cherished lapboard.
Textile cloth, boards thin enough to be almost flexible, leather decoration on top right corner. 256 pages of 100 gsm paper with a dot grid and page numbers. This is my current best understanding of ideal style and proportions for an everyday notebook.

Japanese stationery giant KOKUYO launched the Systemic series of notebook cover since Nov 2008. I totally missed this new product range but when I was in a trip to Shanghai meeting KOKUYO representatives there, I saw a nice leaflet for Systemic and enquired about it. A few days ago I received samples and found them very pleasant to use.
The Systemic series has 3 sizes (B5, A5 and A6) and two colors to choose from. Although the cover is specifically designed for Campus notebooks in the same sizes, I found that the A5 and A6 versions also work well with Moleskine's large and pocket size notebooks!!!
It is really a simple non-intrusive notebook cover. You can insert any two of the wide variety of Campus notebooks in it. The Campus notebook line also has free or dated diary versions so it can easily be used for business or personal. A nice looking ribbon tied to eyelets makes two bookmarks. An outer pocket on both the front and back cover provides temporary storage and act as a pen holder. A good quality elastic band provides enclosure function.
I think it is a great answer to many people who like to consistently use a refillable notebook but need an outer jacket/cover to hold more items or have a better presentation. To Moleskine fans who are yet to find a nice cover, this might be an answer too.

Today (Monday) is the National holidays in my country, and I'm gonna go to a home party of one of my firiends from now on. So I would post my article about this project to my blog after I came back. (Maybe, tommorow.)
Sorry for the inconvenience for the people are used to enjoy reading it.

Notebook made using all natural and recycled material. The pages inside are 100% recycled paper. The cover is a sheet of handmade paper that I made using my green paper scraps. Bound onto a leafy twig from the back yard.
Bound using the same method as my "chopstick notebooks" - tutorial here:

You can't beat a new notebook. Especially one that refers to penguins. As instructed I made a stab at drawing one on the inside cover (see other upload from today).
what i didn't anticipate - but should have - given his love of writing down his thoughts is that odin would be very keen on taking a few ( i.e. all ) of the notebooks for his own use.
odin: "hey, those look great. can i have them?"
me: "uuuuuhhhh. i was really planning on these using these around the house and at work."
odin: "oooooh, c'mon! i can have at least one, right?"
me: "o.k. one will be fine for now. we'll order more. pick one."
i secretly hope he doesn't pick the red "amber" notebook because i like the color as it slowly dawns on me that i'm giving him the option of choosing a notebook dedicated to a style of beer and wonder if he's going to take it to school.
gah. he chose amber. now i'm thinking i have to order some winter editions and swap them out on the chance he wants to use it for notes at school :-)
