Composition Lunchbag!

I sometimes take my notebook in my lunchbag, but Kate here teaches you how to make your lunchbag look like a notebook.

Patton Oswalt loves notebooks. [PopComps]

Perhaps a little too hard.

Cheap, Fat Notebooks? Eenteresting.

Jason Corley says here

Hey, compy/journal fans, Walgreens has a ****ing awesome fat, perforated, bound journal for sale cheap in their back to school section. It's $6 (and likely to drop as they clear out closer to the school year starting). Right now the two designs I've seen are green and some kinda weird brown/red floweredy thing. It's not on Walgreens.com (yet?) so I can't give you a link but it's damn good.

Jason's potty mouth edited by me. :P

Obligatory Meta Post :P

Hey, so you've noticed how most of the last few posts have just been pretty much quotes? I'm having trouble finding the time to gather content and write proper posts. I don't want to do the lame indefinite "hiatus," though. I tried to post three times a week, but man... It's a tough schedule to keep!

We may like composition notebooks, but is it just one of those interests that doesn't need a lot said about it? :P

I'll come back on Friday and see what's a possible compromise.

Short Break

My fiancee is moving into the city this week so things are gonna be a bit crazy. Composeum will be back next week.

If you have any links or your own notebook to share, please leave a comment or email omnimancer@yahoo.com. :)

Mini-Comp Double-Fold [Mods]

Green Pilgrim is an experienced bookhacker and I've been eager to feature some of his work on Composeum. Check out this tutorial on how to make a double-fold composition notebook.

When I was younger, composition notebooks were worth their weight in silver. They were handy for just about everything. About two years ago, I found that a dollar-store near me was selling these pocket-sized composition notebooks and I picked up a few dozen to play with.

This project involves turning two of these small, comp. books into a double-fold book. I've made several full-sized, double-folds for friends over the years and this is just an easier, quick version. Double-folds are handy because it allows you to have two separate books within the same cover. I have used the double-fold design for things like bibles, diaries, and scrapbooks.

I dunno what I'd use a double-fold book for in my daily routine, but it sure gives me ideas for non-comp bookbinding projects. Hmmm!

Thank goodness for hipsters [PopComps]

Never thought I'd say that, but I was rummaging around the internets looking for something to put up for this week's PopComps. Came across this chestnut in some old bookmarks. :P
