Piccadilly Essential Notebooks

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.
