This is the kind of journal Fitzgerald started writing The Great Gatsby in. Well, we can’t actually vouch for that, but this classic faux leather journal, perfect for a coat pocket, has that vintage jazzy feel. Measures 4" x 6" with soft brown leather covers, and has a string-spine that holds (50) blank cream-colored pages. A small, elegant pen is included, with built-in holder, of course. Go on, Nick—tell us all about Daisy and Klipspringer.

Getting-on-the-grid is the new going-off-the-grid, according to our mascot, Jarvis, who has a bird’s-eye view of such cultural trends. What better way to do it than with this Mead® graph paper notebook, which measures 8-1/2” x 11” and has (20) sheets of squared, aka grid, paper? Each sheet has (5) squares per inch, which Jarvis says is perfect for working your way back into society. Made in USA.

To boldly write notes where no man (or not that many) have written notes before. Yes, Trekkie- Surpies, we have Star Trek notebooks! These really nice, (48)-page, cardboard-bound notebooks might not help you live long, or prosper, but they’re perfect for jotting down thoughts and to-do lists in the company of Trek images and ideas. You pick: the 3-1/2” x 5” Starfleet Medical Notebook in blue with spots for personal data including Serial No., Starship Posting and Commissioned Stardate, quotes from famous Trek doctors, and a fold-out back cover detailing diseases with drawings, and Starfleet medical milestones; the 5” x 7” Star Trek United Federation Captain’s Log with a date/location entry on each lined page and fold-out info on the back cover, including a warp-speed conversion table; or the 3-1/2” x 5” Star Trek Engineering notebook with a red cover, diagrams of a communicator, phaser and tricorder, grid pages, famous engineering quotes and room for your name, rank and serial number.

Not sure how you’re supposed to get any journaling done with something so snazzy, but this 6” x 8” sequined notebook is probably better for your psyche than any diary entry, anyway. Sequins have a fish-scale pattern and are surprisingly soft, ranging from deep purple to bright green as you tilt the cover, with (duh!) a silver mermaid in the center. Has about (80) lined pages with space at the top right for dates, so it’s perfect as a diary. Or for noting the catch of the day.

This (75)-page, shiny blue notebook has a matching blue-ribbon bookmark. Measures 8-1/4” x 5-1/2” x 1/2” thick with white pages lined on both sides. Also has a translucent business card holder on the front that wraps around to the back. It’d be a snap to tear it off if you didn't need or want it.

We don't know why, but Bergamo, a town in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, has given its name to high-quality spiral-bound notebooks. They’re popular as journals or travel notebooks, and this one has (100) ivory pages lined on both sides. Also has a plain “soft-touch” cover (think suede-like). In a dark maroon/chocolate color. Measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". Jot down your thoughts and musings (you know you’ve got some good ones) or they might be gone forever.

Like Martha Stewart if you poured honey all over her. Also like these little 4-1/4” x 3-1/4” hardbound books of art-themed sticky notes honoring Bob (The Joy of Painting) Ross. The approx (240) notes are in large and small sizes with Bob, his easel or landscape scenes like the ones he painted.

These are very nice (48)-page cardboard-bound notebooks with themes and some unobtrusive notes/formats that will be easy to ignore if you’re not into the subject, but twice as nice if you are. You pick: the 3-1/2” x 5” Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood-themed passport/notebook, issued by King Friday XIII, with a drawing of the castle and trolley on the front, a larger trolley on the back, and (7) Mister Rogers traveling tips inside; the 5” x 7” Stargazer’s Notebook with 1/4” rules plus a lightly printed 3-1/4” dia circle with 30-degree markings to chart the sky, and a fold-out back cover with an astrolabe and constellation chart; the 3-1/2” x 5” Entomology notebook with a beetle cover, fold-out back cover showing a metamorphosis of an adult insect, ruled pages and room for observational notes and sketches; or the 3-1/2” x 5” Botany notebook with a fold-out back cover with illustrations of leaves for identification, ruled pages and room for observational notes and sketches.

Actually, journals in a pocket. Stay with us here: the journals measure 8-1/2” x 5-3/4” with white card stock covers and (80) lined white sheets, a total of (160) pages. They're slipped into flexible plastic book covers with (3) pockets for cards/whatever on one inside flap and (1) long pocket plus a pen holder on the other. The covers themselves are zippered bags with color on the side next to the book and clear on the outside so you can slide an 8-1/2” x 11” sheet on the visible side. Covers come in green, blue, black and red, and we'll pick because we're on a roll
