Cooks Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 My nephew wants a jounal for xmas with one lined and one blank page throughout, does anyone know where I can try? I have tried a few big stationers with no luck. It ideally should be A5 or A4 size or any size inbetween. I know you are all great with a challenge so please help me if you can.

Cooks Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 nope, they said no as well!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surferdog Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 What about a ring binder? Then you can alternate blank and lined paper to get the effect he wants? Might be worth a try if all else fails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 I thought about this, but it will be chucked in the bottom of his football bag and taken to matches so it needs to ne sturdy... trust my brother to give me this present to buy!.

surferdog Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Try these - they do custom journals. No idea how much it would cost though! http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.ACCT107430/sc.23/category.1562/.f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 http://www.bureaudirect.co.uk/moleskine/products.asp?recid=75 http://www.papernation.co.uk/catalog/sukie-plain-lined-notebook-p-1377.html It is quite difficult to find anything like this. The two links above will hopefully be of some help. Has your nephew seen a journal like what he wants? If so, maybe subtly ask him where he saw it. Good luck!

Becka Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 What about a Filofax style binder. My son has an A4 size one in fake black leather that I bought on Ebay with the lined paper inserts. It works for him and he hasn't lost it or ruined it - yet! Becka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmommasally Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 My friend has one of these on the go at the moment, she uses it as a travel journal/sketch book, it has blank and lined pages. It's a bit of a girly style though but may be worth seeing if they do other designs. http://www.thepaperie.co.uk/product.asp?P_ID=364 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 thanks for all your help, I have managed to find him an italian leather one made by ciak, hopfully he will appriciate all the blinking hard work it was to find..
