Multi-Subject Hardbound Journal?

[BeachBum]

Hello FPNers. I am on a quest, and having quite a struggle to find what I need. I am about to start a project and would like to find a two, preferably three, subject hardbound journal for taking notes and doing project plans. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? And, the blasphemy ensues, it doesn't even have to be FP friendly, just hardbound.

I don't know off-hand of a two or three subject version, but is this the kind of thing you are looking for?

I think Oxford does something similar but I don't know if they do a casebound version. Otherwise I find a 'standard' notebook and a pack of the ultra-strong Post-it page flags sometimes works as an alternative.

I think most of the multi-section bound notebooks I've seen are hacks. Moleskine used to make a five-section tabbed notebook in pocket size but I haven't seen it listed for years.

It's easy to make your own, just a wee bit of patience and a very sharp knife and a good straight edge. A clamp to hold the base of the book steady might be a good idea as would to additional copies for practice/screwing up.

 

Search for Moleskine Hacks, tabs to see what others have done.

Miquelrius and Rhodia both make 4 thru 6 section notebooks, each section being color-coded.

They come with hard cardboard, plastic, and softpaper covers. Neither have leather covers

though.

That is similar to what I am thinking. I honestly didn't think I would find exactly what I was looking for, but I knew if anyone had the information it would be here. I will probably end up with one of the Mead or Staples multi-subject notebooks that have the cloth around the spiral wire. I was just hoping for something a little more "professional" looking that a standard notebook. I, due to my ability to completely fill any space available in my briefcase, have had issues where notebook spirals were bent due to pressure from other items, and then rendered very aggravating!

 

Thanks for the responses!

I like this way of "stealth" tabbing a journal of your choice:

That might just end up being the solution! I had thought about the idea of using the stick-on file tabs from Post-It, but they stick out too far and just look "cheap" in a hardbound binder. This might be my solution!

I have the post-it tabs too. The thing is, since you can position them the way you like, you can stick them further in the journal. This way they just peak out of the pages enough so you can see them. Not as stealthy as cutting the tabs but can be made as low profile as you want.

If you go to any large box craft store you can find small and large shaped punches. you can get circles and squares, in just about any shape and size. The punches are designed to cut through several sheets of cardstock at a time. Using a circle punch it's really easy to add finger shaped tabs like a dictionary for multiple sections. with a little patience you can end up with a really professional looking tab system.

That sounds like a really great idea!
