Midori Traveler's Notebook Blue Edition

[Polanova]

Recently I had the opportunity to hold one of them in my hands (I was actually planning to get one).

I didn`t like it enough to spend the bucks, though. As others pointed out, the blue is not the petrol blue, which could be expected from the photos, but more of a darkish, subtle blue. I prefer my brown ones (Regular & Passport size) and am not sure either if I "need" a third one.

I still might get one at some point. In the meantime I`m curious to see how it will age.

The blue looks really nice. I had a brown regular sized, but it wasn't working for me. Love seeing all the pics of everyone else's though!

I got my midori TN blue edition from Maido earlier this week - I am lucky enough to live down the street from one of their stores. I really like mine.

 

+1 Their mail order shop is great and they have all the accessories, too!

I agree got mine and really like the color. Was expecting to be so so on the blue but it is beautiful. Maido is awesome.

Anyone know a online store (other than eBay for $99) that has this in-stock? Thanks.

I was tempted, I really was. I bought my brown Traveler from Maido - strangely this was the best deal for me, though in the end it was sent from Japan and not the US. The blue one... tempted but no, I do not need another Traveler. Since my first I have picked up a Hobonichi Techo for appointments and such, and the free Renaissance passport sized thing. I like having different formats, materials, and trying out different makers.

As of now The Journal Shop has just 5 left, according to their site. I believe fellow FPN members in the US have used The Journal Shop even though it's in UK. worth trying.

I've not made the plunge with Midori yet and was very, very tempted by the blue but was hoping for more of a petrol blue. Think I'll probably pass on this colour way plus the price premium for this special edition put me off.

I just ordered one last night from Japan. The price with shipping from Japan was comparable to the price I'd have paid from Goulet (who I would have ordered from if they had them in stock).

I have the Star Ferry passport version. Decided to get the Pan Am notebook with the graph paper. Once I had that and liked the size, the regular brown version has been calling me. Found it for $35.99 on amazon.com which justified getting it as a birthday gift later when mine comes along. I hope those who have the blue version post some photos.
