There’s nothing quite like a pen and paper is there? Writing things down actually has a lot of benefits! Handwriting your notes helps your brain process and remember complex information better than typing. Plus it just feels so good to cross items off your to-do list, doesn’t it? Here at Iris & Owl, we have eight different notebook sizes to suit your needs. Read on to learn the dimensions of each size and which inserts fit into them. We’ve designed our notebooks to fit around the inserts with room to spare to make sure your paper doesn’t get smushed. This also allows you to stuff your traveler’s notebooks as full as you want without fear of overhang. Use our leather notebook size comparison to find the perfect one for your planner/journal/scrapbook/novel/bucket list.
