The main difference between all the notebooks were the covers. The green one below is hardback, one had a poly cover and a couple were regular notebook weight covers. Some the pages had some margins and some didn't. All were color coded, except for the one that is like a sketchbook (see below).
I did a quick pen test, just to illustrate paper quality. I picked a ton of pens, so hopefully there is an example for everyone. Overall, the paper does very well. Some minor show through with the more bold felt tip pens, but no real bleed-through. (By the way, nearly every pen on this test was purchased from JetPens so if you see something you like, visit them!
This notebook is somewhat unique because it is unlined and more of a newsprint paper. I think it is meant to be a sketchbook.
Now for the best part, a giveaway! I think this notebook is meant for lefties, now I am not 100% sure of that--but it makes sense based on the spiral being removed from the side. I am not a left handed and although this notebook is cool, I feel like I should give it a good home somewhere else. Now that being said, you do not have to be a lefty to win. All you have to do is leave a comment on the blog. The contest will be open until 11:59pm on Sunday, September 29, 2013. After that I will do a random number generator to pick a winner. I'll ship it to you anywhere, so no need to be in the US to win.
I'll announce the winner on Monday, September 30, 2013. Then you have until Sunday, October 6th to email me at schoolsupplydance AT gmail, to give me your email address. So be sure to check back if you comment.
I want it! :P

ReplyDeleteFellow stationery lover & adding you to my to read blogs!
ReplyDeleteI'm a lefty and am very intrigued by the design of this notebook. I wonder if it works better for over- or under-writers - I kind of think that one would still have problems with the top of the spiral and the other would still have problems with the bottom, but I'm not sure. Very curious :D

Wow, I love the notebooks! The sketchbook on newspaper has always been a classic, but I always wonder why. Like as a kid it always seemed like the paper didn't take as much ink or lead. That may be useful for sketching though. Nice.
ReplyDeleteSweet!
