<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Everyone wants everything customized these days, but custom doesn&#8217;t always mean quality. So I was thrilled when <a href="http://www.bookblock.com/" target="_blank">Bookblock Original</a> reached out to me offering to craft my very own The Paper Chronicles notebook &#8230; and the execution is indeed top-notch!</span></p>
<p class="p1">The process couldn&#8217;t be simpler: just upload your image, choose the color of your band and bookmark — and your sturdy design will soon be on its way! I love that the covers are super-thick and that the band can hold everything together, even the occasional receipt. This is a notebook meant to be taken out into the world and used (and hopefully filled with brilliant thoughts and plans).<span class="s1"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14376" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/O2A3459-copy.jpg" alt="_O2A3459 copy" width="800" height="533" /></span>Bookblock Original started out by manufacturing custom notebooks for agencies and brands. After a lot of trial and error, they found a way to make one-off notebooks with full-bleed digitally printed covers, priced comparably to Moleskines no less. Whether you are a designer, illustrator or just a notebook lover, this is a fitting repository for your favorite artwork.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14373" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/O2A3306-copy.jpg" alt="_O2A3306 copy" width="800" height="532" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14374" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/O2A3366-copy.jpg" alt="_O2A3366 copy" width="800" height="534" /><span class="s1">These notebooks are printed in the UK, contain recycled paper and are definitely as professional and posh as anything stocked on store shelves. Prices begin at $18 and you can start your order <a href="http://www.bookblock.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you are interested in several — and here extra-luxe features like custom elastics, belly bands, printed inserts or foiled or debossed logos come into play — you want to go <a href="http://bookblock.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. Just think, you could be the first bride on your block to give out custom notebooks to your wedding party!<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-14372" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/O2A3276-copy.jpg" alt="_O2A3276 copy" width="800" height="534" /></span></p>
