Whenever I meet a notebook I haven't tried yet, I usually have to buy it (for science). That means, when I visit Anderson Pens, I usually leave with at least one notebook. Most recently, I left with this one: The Endless Works Recorder Notebook from Endless Works, a fairly new company based in India.
My first impression was that it wasn't thick enough. If I'm going to pay more for a premium notebook, I want to use it for a big project, like a novel or series of stories or reviews. But don't be deceived by this slim profile--the Endless Recorder uses Tomoe River paper, so it packs 187 pages into a much smaller space. 16 of those pages are perforated, at the back of the book. All the pages are numbered, and the front features a two-page spread for a table of contents. It also has a satin ribbon bookmark, an expanding pocket inside the back cover, and an elastic closure. The sewn binding also allows the notebook to lay flat when open, even without training the spine.
