Your first notebook
I don’t remember my first notebook, but my mother claims I was folding up pieces of paper into little books and carrying them around with me from at least the age of 3! Later, I remember having those little square datebooks that Hallmark shops used to give away for free–the ones that listed all the birthstones and wedding anniversary gifts on the inside cover! Then I had various 3×5″ spiral notebooks, and some little diaries that were given away to members of the Harvard Coop.
These were the roots of my obsession– what were yours?

90-year old Russian notebook
Benjamin sent this link to an old notebook found in Russia.
"This one is the last example of pre-communist Russia organizers. Made in leather covers containing the full map of Russia and all other things that organizers have now, but it was 90 years ago...."

Google Notebook!
From Steven Coburn:
"So basically I was looking through some cool online stores, and wondered upon this cool Official Google Notebook! It's a 5"X7", spiral bound, 100% recycled, 100 page notebook, and you can buy it right from Google's official store. (I'll put the link at the bottom) I guess the only thing I see bad about this notebook is that it's spiral bound, but I guess that's only annoying with notebooks that I would use for school papers…no one likes loose-leaf papers with fringes! lol, but anyway, for only $8, who WOULDN'T want a little, neat, totally recycled notebook that has a Google logo on it?!"

Book: Last Night I Dreamed of Peace
Maria Rocco write to tell us about this new book:
"In 1970, while sifting through war documents in Vietnam, Fred Whitehurst, an American lawyer serving with a military intelligence dispatch, found a diary no bigger than a pack of cigarettes, its pages handsewn together. Written between 1968 and '70 by Tram, a young, passionate doctor who served on the front lines, it chronicled the strife she witnessed until the day she was shot by American soldiers earlier that year at age 27. Whitehurst, who was greatly moved by the diary and smuggled it out of the country, returned it to Thuy's family in 2005; soon after, it was published as a book in Vietnam, selling nearly half a million copies within a year and a half. The diary is valuable for the perspective it offers on war—Thuy is not obsessed with military maneuvers but rather the damage, both physical and emotional, that the war is inflicting on her country. Thuy also speaks poignantly about her patients and the compassion she feels for them. Unfortunately, the writing, composed largely of breathless questions and exclamations, is monotonous at times, somewhat diminishing the book's power..."
