I have always loved Pinetti notebooks. They come in an enormous rainbow of colors and the paper in the books is wonderful. It is some of the best paper I have ever used.
My Pinetti is an A4 in pale blue. I got it very cheap on a closing down sale so I love it. I got the last one so I was delighted.
As an idea of the colour range, the notebook style above comes in the colours below:

Ooh, lovely! *Licks the screen*
Wow what an offer – thank you Julia! I will definitely keep you posted if I am in that area. I love handbound books and yes Italians wipe the floor with everyone else in that regard, in my opinion. I have Manufactus books as well and they are beyond beautiful!
It’s so nice once in while to hear something good about Italy! Right now I’m in the ‘all we do we just suck at it’ kind of mood, so this post is really comforting 🙂 By the way Janet, I actually happen to live in Florence so whenever you feel like having a tour here you’re more than welcome!
I don’t know why it is but Italy seems to have a certain sense of style. So many pretty things come from Italy… I spent some time there years ago on business and, even though I was suited up, a lot of the time I felt quite underdressed by comparison with the locals!
Oh they do – and when it comes to beautiful paper and leather books they do it the best, I think. I go crazy in Florence!
