The Desert Mermaid

I loved nothing about Germany so much as the nice, pretty, smooth-papered quad rule notebooks I was able to purchase there. I've found nothing like them in the States. They were also thick enough that I could write on both sides with Stabilo marker pens of glorious colors and not get bleedthrough. I was so, so happy with my drawing/writing implements and surfaces and really wish I'd thought to go buy a few more of those notebooks before leaving.
