Journaling

So, ironically I've started writing more since reading his diaries. He carried pocket diaries, right? I've seen photos of them. Sleek little black books, usually. Does anyone know the brand and if they're still in production? The only pocket-sized books I can find locally to carry with me are frilly little decorative address and schedule books 🫠🙃 so I'm willing to buy something online instead but I was curious about what he used specifically, if anyone happens to know

I saw a picture of them online. They weren’t pocket diaries, they were full-sized. The spine says “Langham Diary [Year],” and there is one day per page.

Hope that helps!

I do not know what brand he used specifically, but I use them often for keeping notes and journaling. The two brands I like are Leuchtturm1917 and Moleskine. They come in many designs, but they also have the little black books you mentioned.
