My wife and I visited Boston this past weekend, she was working a Bridal Show at the Bayside Expo Center on Saturday and Sunday. Since I am not in that biz any longer, I took a ride on the subway Saturday afternoon to pay a visit to one of my favorite places: Levenger.

I just love this store. I have been a fan of the Circa method of notebook binding for several years now, and I was very excited to visit the store in person and make a sample notebook. That’s right, if you go into the store, you can make a sample notebook with different page types, divider tabs, etc. As they say in Boston, “Wicked cool!”

There is a station set up for this right in the store:

I made a letter-sized notebook with 5 divider tabs for my new Project notebook. I am currently using a 5.5 x 8.5 sized Circa-bound notebook for Project notes and planning, but the pages are just too small. I need more room for notes and drawings and stuff.

The new notebook has three kinds of pre-printed sheets: Cornell-style lined, Cornell-style quad-ruled, and storyboard. I thought the storyboard pages looked interesting, with 3 good-sized boxes and some lines for text to the side. It may turn out to be a real creativity-booster.

Bill and Bob were staffing the store on Saturday, and they were very helpful in pointing out some of the new products and assisting me with finding the right tools for the things that I wanted to do.

Thank you very much, gentlemen!
