THE STANDARD MEMORANDUM COVERS
A pocket datebook with its roots in the pocket journals of the early 1900s.
COVER FOR THE STANDARD MEMORANDUM
I absolutely love this little datebook. It is designed by Jon Contino and produced by Word Notebooks. Some people use it as a tiny planner, keeping track of appointments and events. I use it as a micro journal, jotting down a few words about each day as well as to track my sleep and exercise.
It is well designed and each edition covers one year. Buy this cover and you can refill it with a new edition each January. You can learn more about The Standard Memorandum at wordnotebooks.com.
I carefully hand stamp each piece with "Standard Memorandum" on the front. I do these in limited runs.
Hear more about the inspiration behind it, from designer Jon Contino:

Inspired by pocket journals from the early to mid 1900's, The Standard Memorandum is designed to chronicle a year of your life. Word. has teamed up with designer and illustrator, Jon Contino, to create a modern version of this storied notebook. The Standard Memorandum is laid out so you simply jot down a line or two every day for a year and are left with a memento you can save or pass down. The project began after Jon discovered his wife's great-grandfather's pocket journals from the early 1900's that basically recreated what his life was like. Born out of a desire to start doing this himself, Jon partnered with Word. Notebooks to create a journal like the ones he found. The Standard Memorandum is that journal.
