I've been using these for a few years with small entries almost daily. I miss quite a few days. |

Tried to use the same pens as on the other post rather than using my original Piccadilly image in an earlier post. |

I started using these soon after I first moved to FL and found them in Books-A-Million on special price quite often. Over the past 15 years I have not seen these increase in price when on special. They run about $7.00 almost every place I've found them, mostly in grocery stores. Normally,not on special, they sell between $12 and $15 locally. Generally the large only cost a dollar or two more than the medium, and many times the same price. |

Believe it or not part 1 and part 2 are scanned to the same size as are the Jpeg Horizontal resolutions, but typical old Blogger they will not display properly. I'm getting closer to moving to Word Press. |
|
Large is on the left, medium on the right. |
|
I decided to measure these as the Piccadilly site only lists an approximate dimension. |
|
I will measure typical page thickness of all journals. |
Hopefully all the important points have been covered. I'm sure I missed something on this as well as my other journal review post.
I tried to compare the flatness of this one to the green book, but it'll take a video and more work. I may do a video after I do all the reviews. This brand has consistently laid flatter than any similarly bound journals I have used, yes, even the over priced Moleskine. The only side bound that lays flatter are the sewn and staple bound soft cover pocket journals such as a Field Notes, Cahiers, and
these that were my go-to pocket notebook until I discovered the one I presently use that will be reviewed later.
These are quite comparable to Markings brand, but I don't know if I have any that are not fully used and packed. Wal-Mart and Staple's used to sell the Markings brand. There is no Staple's here, and our Wal-Marts don't carry Markings as they only sell the store brand which I found quite inferior to good journals. I have one, if I did not throw it in the trash.
Stay home & stay safe.
I enjoy your notebook reviews. Measuring the page thickness is a nifty idea.
ReplyDeleteRegarding blogger, I’m not sure how easy it would be to transfer 14 years of blog articles to Word Press. For column sizes I import the images from Flickr and adjust the height to proportionally match my template’s 650 pixel width. I edit the Blogger code as I write the article.
I am really enjoying these reviews. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteI came up with some tricks for getting scans into blogger. I’ll try to compile some of them and send you a what I have settled on.
Thorough review Bill. I carry around an A6 100 leaf Cumberland notebook in my bag, it comes in handy for jotting down details and doubles as a drawing book for my grandchildren if they get bored when we are out for a meal, I have 'art' in there since they were able to use a pen 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace.
DeleteEnjoy that art. You'll be able to look back on it when your grandchildren become famous artists.
I did not know about these. Personally I like blank (non-ruled) pages, so I'm glad to see on their website that they offer blank notebooks.
ReplyDeleteRichard,
DeleteI meant to include a link to thier site, and I forgot. I'm glad you did some exploring.
