Guide to Notebook Sizes

[ninagobragh]

Galen Leather has a lovely Comprehensive Guide to Notebook Sizes which is not only helpful, but contains this affirming nugget of wisdom:

I used to give myself a hard time about this. How many notebooks does one need? [...]

But then I realized that I find great joy in writing in many different sized notebooks. I love the hunt of finding new ones I “have to have” and I get immense pleasure from filling lots of pages. I don’t want to run out of paper, not in this lifetime (or in the next hundred years!) which given the state of the stacks right now, is insured.

I wish I could sew this on a pillow. 

(As you know, I'm currently a A5 Girlie, but I'm exploring both B5 and B6 sized notebooks, too!)

I'm currently a A5 Girlie

Also a fan of A5 as my default--it's the perfect trade-off between space and portability for me. I also enjoy A6 for a smaller size for my everyday-carry or for planning on the go.

I think the amount of notebooks doesn't matter, so long as you have enough to suit your long-term needs. Every time I fill one notebook, I get a new one, but I have like...3 in queue at all times. 📚

Agreed wholeheartedly!

I use an A6, too! I keep it in my bag for on the go stuff. The only downside to me is that it's small and my handwriting is big and messy! :D That's definitely a "me" problem, but eh, well!
