Edition #23 Notes

The cover for Start Today is a fabric designed by artist and activist Lisa Congdon. Her work has an inviting bright palette, and when I saw this fabric pattern I knew I had to turn it into a Bookhead Club edition.

I admire Lisa's designs not only for her visual style, but more so for the ideas carried throughout her work. She makes it her mission to uplift both socially and emotionally, and designs around phrases like "make your own path," and "use your creative power for good".

To that end, Start Today invites you to carry on the message, open a blank (or lined) page, and make today the day where you start something new.

Fray level: Very High

Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use. Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you gauge how much fraying to expect from your notebook. Read more about fabric covers

Reviews

Dapper notes are the antidote to the digital age. Every item is handcrafted, hand-sewn, and designed for maximum delight.

Teresa

Highest quality construction and materials, keen eye for detail, and delicious design, month after month.

Dana

Dapper Notes are the best quality pocket sized notebooks you can get. The textile cover and thread binding means the books will hold up through time. I love the thick paper as well; good for fountain pens.

Cindy

I am a lover of texture, both visually and physically, so the different book covers are perfect for me!
