For too long, the notebook has been saddled with a less-than-stellar reputation; the word itself conjures up images of sixth-grade homerooms and cheap paper covers tearing away from spiral bindings. Monsieur Notebooks are crafted from an entirely different perspective: the belief that a good notebook can be a great companion, something to be treasured. These books come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors and are made out of top-grain leather that wears beautifully. So whether users are taking them along on far-flung adventures or just subjecting them to the grind of daily life (and the bottom of a messenger bag), these tough notebooks remain the perfect place to record work, notes, sketches, or sudden flashes of inspiration.
