I'm sure it's a pocket notebook, which is actually a very big deal. You can check them out on JetPens, but they often come with different inserts so he probably wanted the boss' advice on which ones to get. Japanese notebooks are no joke, especially since it looks like he was already using a Travellers Notebook ($100+ in some cases)
Really? Well that's something new to me. Thanks for letting me know
Yes, also the quality of the layers of the notebook such as paper type, color, binding, ink absorption etc. is all important, especially if your goal is to express "forever"..
I love me a high quality book
That was....fast. why'd he need the boss to help anyway....I guess it must have been pretty difficult to pick out a notebook one of lifes challenges
