“A simple idea but perfect for storing all those contact cards, postcards , receipts and notes which many of us acquire. I had planned to use mine as a travel notebook but it seems to be evolving into a craft record: details of shows which I attend, sketches of ideas small snippets of yarn and material etc. I bought a selection of inserts and am happy with all of them. My only slight reservation is the pen holder. Only the small size was available in brown, but I find it almost impossible to open the clip and attach the holder, which is too small for any of my pens to go through the middle and I don't like just clipping the pen clip onto the outside. So, I wouldn't recommend the pen holder but everything else is great....”

“In these days of electronic this, cloud that, many people own a plethora of electronic items which tend to be cold lumps of productivity rather than a tangible, tactile thing that you can enjoy handling. The Midori Traveller's Notebook is a far cry from all of this. Its simple leather design is very tactile and it will develop a character of its own, totally unique to you, as it acquires scrapes and marks through daily use. Having a customisable notebook insert system (without file rings like Filofax) gives you more writing space and flexibility than you could appreciate without having tried the system. I was a Filofax devotee for over 25 years before discovering the MTN and now I haven't looked back. Having something physical also means that I have rediscovered the pleasure of writing (particularly with a fountain pen) and physically writing something leads to far greater retention of the subject matter than typing it electronically. Despite its physicality, using a paper diary insert is still just a flexible as an electronic one (I've tried it!). I've had great pleasure in setting the system up and tweaking it from daily use and it's now an indispensable planner, notebook, ideas repository, to-do list....it's uses are endless. Should you get one? A resounding “YES"!!”

“Recently purchased this as a gift, having already bought one myself a few years ago. It was very happily received, such a beautiful and tactile notebook,and will last a lifetime. Mine looks better and better the older it gets!”

“Leather cover stinks of chemical upon arrival - horrible. This fades after a week or so and it then smells vaguely of leather. A nice enough method of using MD bound and covered inserts. It's a good journal for note taking. It's not a way of life. Download Chronidex Scriptum non linear diary for scheduling - rethought.”

“I am very happy with this notebook is excellent traveler's notebook. Perfect packaging and the service is of high quality !!! (In Italy, arrived in 2 days, but then, with the Italian post office I had to wait another eight days, had blocked the shipment.) Council not to make delivery by the Italian post but to use the company DHL courier,is very efficient. Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
