Given the increase in Kindles, new Blackberries, and 3G iPhones, it’s nice to see a black item that keeps notes the old fashioned way. Doane Paper utility notebooks are mobile in their own way at less than four by six inches and only 48 pages — ideal for bite-size musings. Portland print show Pinball Publishing uses soy-based inks and recycled paper to create the grid+lines notebook line. Perfect for pockets.
