Tuesday Toolset, In The Pines Edition

In honor of today’s giveaway, how do you pick a favorite from your favorite? Write Notepads make some of my favorite pocket notebooks, especially their Limited Edition releases. What’s my favorite one? Well, it was my first …

In The Pines: I think what surprised me the most with my first foray into Write Notepads Limited Editions is how the simplicity allows for the quality to shine through. These are extremely well made notebooks, and do you know what the best part is? The paper has improved in newer releases over what was already good stuff. This is a classic edition I’ll never tire of.

The Goldfield: In the Pines was released for Winter 2016, and The Goldfield followed on year later. This release had everything: Style, story, design, quality, extras - everything. I’ll get some arguments, but I think this is the prettiest edition they have ever made.

Sakura: Ok, maybe this one is the prettiest. They are all pretty! Sakura was the first Limited Edition to use saddle stitching (aka staples) for the binding, as opposed to Write Notepads traditional PUR binding. The letterpress cherry blossom cover is a knockout.

The Deep: Not that I saw any of these previous designs coming, but The Deep really caught me off guard. Why, I can’t really say, but it knocked my socks off. The silver letterpressed octopus on the deep blue cover gets your thalassophobia turned up to 11.

Ask me again tomorrow and I could probably come up with four more choices I could argue ahead of these. But these are great, and have definitely spent more time on my desk and in my bag than other Write Notepads notebooks. What is your favorite?
