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 bought myself the pen holder with pen in black in both A5 and personal size whilst I bought my wife the same sizes but the blue colour. You will notice immediately that the black ones are fully black but the blue ones have blue outer pockets but the middle piece is transparent. The black holders come with a brown pen (from the botanics range) whilst all the the others that are available come with the a matching coloured pen. The complete range from the actual Filofax website features just A5 and personal holders with 5 colours in total, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Black.
