>> scout books

Digging this Portland-based company, Scout Books, who make pocket-sized notebooks that you can easily design yourself on their website. They're also made from 100% recycled papers and soy inks. And you can choose from blank paper, lined, or my personal favorite: grid. Custom notebooks start at $195 for a set of 50, but there are some already designed books that are pretty snazzy, and the price is pretty snazzy too (just $10 for a three pack + free shipping anywhere in the US of A). But don't you want to design your own? I do.
