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.

Study after Orazio Gentileschi, Tim Lowly © 2010, graphite, 6" x 4"
This is a study of Orazio Gentileschi's Andata al Calvario in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna (a detail of which I just posted). This artist is best known now as being the father of the painter Artemisia Gentileschi . As I look at this now I wonder (and it is a bit of a stretch) if Artemisia might have been the model for this figure, who I assume is Mary Magdelene or Mary the mother of Jesus.

I've been searching for a perfect little notebook for all my needs, most serve the note taking purpose but lacks photo journaling features, GTD elements, or refillable with nice leather covers. I have a passion for Moleskine and Traveler's Notebook, but a product with the combination of their features, in addition to some of my own note taking practice, is difficult to find. So I set out to play with some customizations and adaptations on scrap materials.......

My large-format notebook, and a new piece of inspiration.
The coloured tapes (artist's masking tape) are from my film-holders; 'exif data' written on in pen at time of exposure, colour-coded according to film stock (orange for Ektar, Grey for ∆100, Green for Velvia 50) and replacing rubber bands as extra safety measure. Notes in book on side indicate when processed and whether a technical success.
Image is of course 'The Great Piece of Turf', an extraordinary Northern Renaissance watercolour by Albrecht Dürer. Gave me an idea for a 5x4 nature project, possibly using Provia 100F or Kodak Portra (Velvia too saturated for this, but think I'd still prefer slide)) - a possible plan for some local Oxfordshire nature reserves. Will almost certainly need to rig up some kind of light box, but shooting with natural light only and no macro photography flash tricks might be a challenge.
A new, smaller journal. I hand-bound it myself and added the tabs for a little bit of fun. They're more like placeholders, so I can get to where I'm working easier.
In November of 1993, my work was getting ahead of me and so I decided for the first time to record everything in notebooks (before that I used Day-timers). In the UK they had these nicely bound blank books call Black n' Red, and I bought the A5 size (210 x 148 mm), which is a very handy form factor to take with you everywhere. Since then, I have continued to use bound books of one design or another for taking and keeping notes.
I write everything in my notebooks, meeting notes, phone numbers, to-do lists, part dimensions, phone messages, addresses, etc. Everything that might ordinarily get scribbled on a piece of scrap paper goes into the notebook instead. That way you never lose anything you wrote down, it's always available (though it often takes a fair bit of digging around to find it).
I used A5 Black n' Red and OSTAline notebooks until I moved back to the US, where they were no longer available. Then in June 1996, while I was working at Cisco Systems, I started using cardboard composition books.
After I left Cisco in 1999 I used a couple of A4 sized blank books (not shown), but then by September 2001 I had procured another Black n' Red book and used it until August 2005 (the time I was taking in getting my current company started). After going through a couple of no-name A5 blank books I found in France in 2003, I was finally able to source a handful of Black n' Red books here in the US, through an internet supplier. Google tells me they are now widely distributed in the US.
Shots of my planner for my blog and all crafty things for this year! part of an old notebook I am determined to fill up this year.
January 24th - Saturday. Second day of strategy residential. It was a very good meeting although I was pretty exhausted afterwards.
Not too tired though to celebrate Burns Night. I had haggis and drank scotch and attempted to read some Burns and toast the haggis. Not everyone joined in!
Reasons to be cheerful
1. My first whisky session in at least 9 months. Nice.
2. Haggis.
3. Successful 2 day meeting.
Then insert this Notebook 3 and 4 duo underneath the first two notebooks, i.e. between the cover and Notebook 1 and 2.
