The best notebook in existence
Have always used the Alwych notebooks for my birding notes. First started using them in the 1980s. Still a great notebook. Will use them in the future too.
I have been a fan of these books for over 30 years. Can’t imagine life without one by my side.
Great service! Very reasonable shipping price and the notebooks arrived quickly. I last bought an Alwych notebook in 1988 when I lived in England. I was delighted to find that they’re still available and that I could order them from the United States. Thanks!
Very good quality notebooks. I have always used Moleskine books in the past, but I think I have found a new favourite.
These are the best notebooks I’ve ever used!
These books are indispensibe. Have been using them for 30 years happily
Always a delight to use and very robust wherever I use them. I have some from the 1960s (straight corners and mottled paper edge) and they’ve worn very well indeed. I cannot fault them in the field (as a working geologist) and lately I’ve used them for surveys with the RSPB in all weathers. If there is one thing I would like folks at Alwych to do, is to offer an option of the A68/144 with plain paper – artists and field workers alike would appreciate the flexibility this would give – but I would always buy the ruled version as well. Put me down for eight plain A68/144 (6 paid and 2 free!) as soon as you decide to do this.
Fantastic Quality. Always look forward to starting a fresh notebook! Magic.
I bought these notebooks as I am a painter and writer and make notes wherever I am – in many different weather conditions. My daughter is professional sea captain and needs weatherproof notebooks when sailing. Alwych Notebooks tick all the boxes. Buy with complete confidence.
The kind of notebook that compels you to put down the tablet and properly fall in love with writing all over again.
Excellent product
And of course if they are good enough for Mr Palin..actually they are indeed excellent and I was surprised at what good value they were, so I now have a small supply!
Beautiful, compact booklet. The perfect gift for an Alwych enthusiast!
An excellent notebook. The cover is tough yet stylish. The pages and how they are stitched makes it a joy to write on and are incredibly practical. I use notebooks a lot and this beats my previous notebook of choice.
Beautiful, and wonderful quality! I have found my favorite notebook!
Bought for son in law who loves it.
This is the best notebook i have ever used. I am a writer and use this size almost exclusively. Forget Moleskine notebooks and cashiers. This one is miles beyond. Paper is great for pencil and pen, smooth and thick. Lines are just dark enough. Feels like old school quality when using these notebooks.
This is the best notebook around … a pleasure to use, it makes you want to write. Wears beautifully and perfect with fountain pen.
No substitutes!
Used for archeology field journal. Great quality and sturdy in the field! Will be buying more once I have filled it!
So helpful. So Handy. So Hardy.
Best notebooks of their kind in the world. I have used them constantly for about 25 years having been introduced to them by my late father, who loved them.
Quality always the same – excellent. have used them for many, many years.
Excellent, cannot commend highly enough.
This must be our third order!
These are classic notebooks. Beautifully made and wonderful to handle. Ideal for fieldwork or lab records, research notes, or reflective journaling.
Some things become a part of you. I received my first Alwych All-Weather from my grandfather many, many years ago and I’ll be giving brand new Alwych 8×5 books to my children as gifts this coming festive season.
Long lasting, quality, and stands the day to day tumult
Best notebooks out there, have used them for years. Thanks, Alwych!
I love Alwych notebooks! I use them as lab notebooks for work. These are sturdy, beautiful, and the perfect size for my needs. The paper is wonderful quality and not bleed-through with my pens. I usually shy away from softcover notebooks because they fold and tear in my bag, but the black all weather cover is rugged enough to stay in great shape even after everyday abuse. I’ll only buy Alwych for my lab notebooks for the rest of my career; can’t recommend these notebooks enough!
Love them. I wish you made A4 size ones!
Great quality, and flexible. I use a fountain pen and on cheap notebooks the ink seems to soak through to other pages – not on these.
A lovely notebook.!
Love it.
Best all-round notebook in the world.
Perfect large notebook.
Alwych books are beautifully produced, sturdy and reliable. A pleasure to write in.
I love these books, sturdy cover and thick enough paper for my pen’s ink. Will carry on buying for sure
I’ve tried nearly every notebook, and this is the best by far.
Have used these notebooks for many, many years, always the same quality. Originally bought in local Edinburgh bookshops, but now buy direct.
I have been using these books on and off for many years – I still love them.
The books are fantastic in use, mostly because the paper quality is amazing. I find the look of the books to be pretty cool, with their gold lettering on a black ‘ALL WEATHER’ cover, though I can imagine it’s not for everyone.
First mention of these notebooks was via a Michael Palin post. The all weather cover, size and style perfect for my daily use to record the important stuff from my meetings, phone calls and even the odd thought ….oh and the odd doodle …. and some of my doodles are very odd.
Cant live without these notebooks.
Best notebook in the world.
