Aspinal of London

Has anyone tried them? A friend has praised them so much I'm tempted....but they are pricey.

I found the birthday book I have been looking for, for a long time, just now after following your link. I will return with a report on how the paper responds when I have recieved the book. I assume the paper quality in the birthday book will be the same as in their "regular" journals. They have special journals with Amalfi paper (on sale right now, but still expensive) - that´s another story.

I bought a pocket two years ago. There were two problems with the product. First, the calendar was primarily italian with english as a second language. Good for those on the continent but not so good for the US. Second d, the leather work was defective on the cover. The binding was not well formed on the spine. As a result, I've been buying Charing Cross pocket clendars

I found my moleskine has split at the spine so next year it's another type of calander for me. Thanks for the heads up on another possibility

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
