I should charge a premium for this. 

Someone took my notebook idea and made it into a reality.

Send me one. 

Seriously.

I want one.

I can’t live without my notebook. I keep it open on my desk at the office and scribble dozens of random numbers/thoughts/tasks on it throughout the day - from wire transfers I have to send to doodling while I’m on the phone with my grandmother for 30 minutes without having a chance to say a single word. It’s the type of tool that, for me, can’t be replaced by my iPhone’s notepad.

When I saw this post by Gaws I knew I had to get something like that printed. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out how to get this done easily in a single edition, so I went for the next best thing - a notebook slip cover in a standard Moleskine size. I sent the photo to http://www.engraveyourbook.com/ and ordered it on one of the natural covers as just the engraved phrase along with my initials on the back. A few weeks later and this is what showed up at my door. Even though the black leather would’ve looked more appropriate given the tone and dryness of the title, I decided for the natural tan leather for its future color and marks. I can’t wait for the light brown to wear in and darken with age, it’ll proceed to look better and gain character, and not disappoint…
