![]() Different types of notebooks may serve different purposes, too. It’s impossible to pick out just one notebook for everybody, because everyone has different preferences when it comes to size, cover material, page ruling, paper feel, and all the other little characteristics that make one notebook stand out from another. Any of these notebooks will provide an appreciably better writing experience than what you can get from a generic, off-the-shelf-at-Walgreens notebook. After interviewing experts, researching more than 80 notebooks, and writing zealously in 24 of them side by side over several weeks, we have picks in a number of sizes and styles. Upgrading from a cheap notebook to a high-quality one usually costs just a couple more cents per page (or about $2 to $5 overall), and we think you’re worth it. It can be a source of joy, a covetable item that turns an ordinary, everyday task-note taking, journaling, task planning, brainstorming, or doodling-into a sublime experience.

As with Zarathustra, if you appreciate Wolfe there are not really any other games in town.įinally, the Gormenghast trilogy set in either printing (I think they are more or less the same other than the spine design, but I've only handled the version that I own, which is the more recent set with horizontal title text). ![]() At the time, it was the most I had ever spent on a single work, and it was the release that got me paying attention to Folio Society. I also generally prefer long novels to be split into several smaller volumes, and four books suits the work better than two (in addition to being how the works were originally released). Given the problems with the standard edition, I'm so glad I splurged on this when it came out. Excellent realization of one of my favorite novels. (The LEC edition is nicely printed and attractively designed but uses a terrible translation.) But that probably wouldn't happen even for a limited edition now, so what can you do? There are not really any other quality editions of Zarathustra, either. ![]() The only thing I would change is to upgrade the paper and print letterpress. Perfect illustrations, excellent translation, everything about the design is great.
