I’ve long been a fan of Delfonics’ notebooks. I love that the hard, cardboard cover doesn’t bend or crease, and that the elastic band keeps the notebook closed in my bag. The light lines on the paper are good for guidance but not obtrusive if you need to sketch or outline outside of them. One of my favorite details is that I can fit a pen inside the spiral binding and clip it on for safekeeping. However, I’ve recently noticed that all the Delfonics I’ve seen for sale have a much narrower binding that wouldn’t fit a pen. Weirdly enough, the only version with a bigger spiral is the planner edition, which can be harder to find. Fortunately, since only the first few pages are dedicated to monthly calendars, I can still use it as a regular notebook. (I have the gold metallic one, seen here and available on Amazon.)
