I’m here to open the gates and set you free from this dizzying existential burden. Let’s line up the usual suspects: Birthday, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Engagement, Wedding. Thank You.

Shopping lists, manifestations, recipes, job contacts, lecture notes. Maybe a phone number scrawled from an admirer. Dog-eared pages, creases, coffee stains, warping and smudged ink infuse the notebook with your personality, memory and story: which is the point, right? With a beautifully unique approach to design, the Midori...
