Notebookism has been an on-and-off for the past year or so due to my other commitments and I am deeply sorry for the irregularity. But next month I will be blogging here exclusively again.
To celebrate our return, I'm giving away 5 surprise packages of notebooks and stuff that we've received over the years. To join, simply leave a comment on this post. Only 1 entry per address please. I'll announce one winner every Monday from Sept. 27 to October 25, 2010.
Thank you and welcome back.
- Armand B. Frasco
Note: Winners will be picked from commenters on this post only. Use a valid email address in your comments. Each package will contain at least one type of notebook and other accessories.
COMMENTS ARE MODERATED AND MAY NOT SHOW UP IMMEDIATELY. No need to resubmit.
________________
UPDATE:
Monday, Sept. 27: Congratulations to our first winner - Alban J. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada:) I'll be sending your prize shortly. Next draw will be on Monday, October 4. Non-winners will be automatically included.

Hi, Armand.

I recently stumbled on this site while searching for Moleskine alternatives and spent the following several hours backing through about 50 pages of posts. I couldn't get enough! I've started keeping a notebook for daily use and a journal to relax at the end of a long day and get my thoughts on paper. It would be great to have a few new notebooks to jumpstart my collection! Thanks, and I'm looking forward to seeing your new posts!

Hi Armand! I'm a happy subscriber to your blog.. Can't help but have positive thoughts about getting a package of notebooks! I'm a moleskine fan but I'd take anything because I love notebooks in general. --leen
