A useful and detailed guide to making handmade notebooks. I've been thinking about this a bit recently, because I'd like to make notebooks with my own choice of paper and re-usable, durable covers.

A great, simple idea: forget about the grids of traditional diaries or day planners and have a blank page with an analogue clock outline in the centre, on which you can mark off your appointments. Then the rest of the page is free to do whatever you want with. It acknowledges the fact that the stuff we do tends not to be evenly distributed over the day.

A really innovative German design for notebooks/agendas which are removable and customisable. The site is in German and French, but the pictures look very interesting. [via comment in 43folders.com thread]
