Quiver Pen Holders

Bob Koch emailed us to introduce a product he and his partners have developed.

"Quiver" comes in a 1-pen holder and a 2-pen holder for both the pocket and large size Moleskine ‘classic’ hard cover notebooks.  They are offered in either brown or black leather.  Quiver pen holders also work well with all six versions of the Moleskine Passion notebooks, all the City Books and several of the Daily/Weekly planners as well. 

Bob notes that "since the Barnes & Noble private label brand ecosystem notebooks are the same size as the Moleskine brand pocket and large notebooks, Quiver product works just as well with these notebooks. "

They’ve also had good success with other similarly sized hard cover notebooks from Piccadilly.  Basically, if the notebook has similar height dimensions as the Moleskine notebooks as described above due to the elastic design element Quiver should fit and function just as well.

Expandable Sketchbook

Neat idea if you don't mind the creases.

The Spaces for Ideas Expandable Sketchbook is perfect for cataloging and documenting your “big” ideas. The Sketchbook comes in a very portable A6 size (14.8cm high and 12.5cm wide including the spine) and each of its 5 pages expands into a generous A3 size. The design of the sketchbook is kept intentionally minimal and clean, so that you can assign each sketchbook to a single project or activity.

Writersblok

Shoutout to my old friends at Kikkerland and their range of stationery including these notebooks.

WRITERSBLOK is a set of 3 notebooks from Kikkerland aimed at encouraging the activity of writing. Writing is good exercise for the mind, it helps you think, be more creative and it's fun! You can feel good using these notebooks because a percentage of sales from WRITERSBLOK goes to literacy-related programs around the USA.

I know these have been around for a while but this mark its first appearance here.

Happy Earth Day!

 

What better company to feature on Earth Day than ecosystem. A snip from their "About" page:

"From its inception, ecosystem was designed to empower environmentally aware product owners, be they recycling gurus or new to the process. Each item has a unique book ID number, which may be used here to track a book's origins, learn how they are environmentally-friendly, and to find out exactly how to recycle each book..."

You can even "build" your own ecosystem. Their range of journals and planners can be customized.

We still have to get our hands on these items and the press mentions are adding to the excitement.
