The Filofaxist

Tombow AirPress Pen Not everything on here is just about the mighty Filofax, I'm equally passionate about stationery and all things office. Christmas was a much less extravagant affair this year but I still had plenty of quality family time, however, gifts were also a lot less extravagant! My sister purchased a few items for me that are definitely stationery and office related, a book and a pen!  The book is titled "The Checklist Manifesto" by Atul Gawande and published by Profile Books. I'm not going to review the book on here just yet, partly because I need to read and secondly my blog isn't about books.  The pen is an AirPress made by Tombow who are based in Germany, supposedly it writes on wet paper and can be used upside down, something I need to test first.

I sneakily purchased a German language insert from Amazon last week which arrived this morning. I mainly bought it for curiosity and didn't really know what I was getting but was too intrigued not to give it a try. It appears to be in insert for German speakers to be able to do business in England, circa 1998. There is a cheesy image of "Business people" on the front cover and some basic details as shown.  On the back there is just the wording of one of the inserts, no special cover or anything fancy. The inserts just have general phrases in German that are then translated into English as you can see in this photo. The whole thing isn't particularly exciting but it is interesting to see what Filofax offered in other countries. Can't decide whether to keep it or not, does anyone else have anything similar to share?
