Alwych notebooks have been used by British Antarctic expeditions over the years and have a keen following from those pursuing outdoor activities including gardeners, walkers, golfers, birders, hikers, mountaineers, potholers, explorers, archaeologists, etc.
Absolutely love these books. I order pen holders that stick to inside back cover which I do in my diary also. I use my Alwych notebooks for everything from jotting down info., lists for going away etc. and I love the off white paper as I have a problem with glary white pages. I’m even thinking of getting a large one !!!! I would love a page marker in the notebooks. However, I make one for each book with some ribbon. So glad you still make these books. My original one was a present.
I love the Alwych books, they are elegant and strong. Just perfect!
Great note book – easy to order – cant wait to hit the trail and be writing my journal in this – nice and light too
I’ve used these notebooks for years (National Park/RSPB notes) and they haven’t changed at all. Their build is reliable and tough; the paper stands up to abuse and the sizing is just right for field jacket pockets. I’m told folk with fountain pens use them – a 2B pencil is all I need. One suggestion worth considering: what about a few plain pages for sketches?
Easy ordering and shipping process and love them!
Use these books in my travels for note taking
i’ve been using these notebooks for over 20 years, and haven’t found a paper quality that i prefer!
Excellent service. Excellent notebooks which I have used for 40 years. Thank you.
Always excellent service. Thank you
These are really great notebooks. I have been buying them for many years and are of excellent quality.The construction is very robust .The cream quality paper and unique, retro weatherproof binding adds to the experience . I cannot recommend these books enough. You will not be disappointed.
absolutely wonderful! I’ve been using the smaller size (5 1/4 x 3 1/4) for a while now, and decided to try one a little bigger. safe to say that these all weather covers are starting to become my go-to for a great journaling experience :•)
This is my fifth Alwych Book, I could not be happier. The quality is amazing, the range of sizes is fantastic and this is the notebook I have spent years looking for. I had a custom leather cover made, this is the only notebook I want to use in future.
As a journalist and writer a notebook is one of the most important things I carry with me everywhere. The paper works amazingly well with all kinds of pens (including fountain pens), and pencils. It can survive being jammed in the pocket of my bag, or the back pocket of my jeans.
It was a present for my brother who was delighted.
Excellent note books which last the 6 months I usually take to fill them up. Unlike some other well known makes!
standard pocket size for general notes
I have been using Alwych note books on a daily basis for over 10 years , they are very durable and the A18 size fits neatly into my pocket.
Have used moleskine for many years, however I saw Michael Palin talking about his using them. I have been a fan of his for many years and trust his judgment on all things stationery! I have not been disappointed.
My favourite notebook!
Superb product, very high quality.
love my notebooks, will not travel with out one to write my journal in
Great pocketable size.
Robust enough for use as field note book.
An excellent notebook in every way, far better for wet ink than it’s competitors, and no stiff cover so it sits better in the pocket.
Excellent books and quick delivery!
Great notebooks. Flexible enough to put in one’s pocket and strong enough to withstand it.
Can’t wait to order more notebooks.
Paper not good with fountain pen my usual writing method.
Alwych notebooks are my go to notebook for ornithological fieldwork. The waterproof cover is an essential feature when working outdoors, the notebooks are superbly bound and can withstand repeated spine flexing day after day, further, the paper is excellent quality and doesn’t disintegrate which is vital to keeping my notes safe. My only suggestion for improvement would be the inclusion of elastic bands that can hold the notebook together when closed, I always struggle to find any that are just the right tension.

A repeat purchase – I go through a couple of these notebooks every year and they are constantly in my pocket and used in all weathers in Scotland. They stand up better than any alternative I have tried.
I love the Alwych books. Lots of different sizes to get the perfect fit for a specific need, and they are super durable.
There’s nothing quite like an Alwych. With its flexible and waterproof cover, classic design and strong binding, it’s the perfect notebook for outdoor people. For me, the A18/80 is the perfect size to carry around with you. Highly recommended. Made in Scotland, too. More people should discover Alwych!
I write a diary each day and these have become my staple books to use. They look lovely and are lovely to write in.
Simply the best
Very good quality
An excellent sized. Retro style notebook. Far superior in quality and style than any othet
Love these notebooks – been using for 40 years
I have been a customer for I think around 10 years and I find the Alwych books very durable and ideal for my requirements
Repeat buy of a quality item
Faultless service for a great note book!
My friend uses these as diary/notebook, has done for over 25 years. They are perfect for this, wear so well. They are shoved in pocket or car, go out in all weathers. Local supplier sadly closed but excellent speedy service o the web . Thanks.
Perfection.
Cracking little notebooks. I always have one on me for jotting down thoughts, notes and to-do items. Great paper quality. I use a fibre tipped pen and there’s never any bleed through.
Wonderful notebooks
First purchase and really pleased with the notepads, will definitely buy again
A brilliant note book. I use these lots.
Love these notebooks. Take ink well, no bleed through and look smart. Just wish they made some plain ones
Great daily diary!
I’ve been using these for the past 50 years, since they were issued to us Engineers by Decca Radar – they are excellent. Thank you.
The best pocket notebook you can buy
Lovely as ever Alwych book, looking forward to it wearing in beautifully – they get lovelier with use and age
Love it – would definitely order more notebooks in the future.
My favourite notebook, very high quality and a delight to use.
Perfect notebook 🙂
Love these for leisure use, easily fit in a trouser pocket with flexible cover.
