Very unique shop with great location in heart of Harvard Square. By far your best bet to find a great notebook along with accompanying inserts like pen, pen holder, relevant stickers, etc. Happy to support this business!

Really fun little shop! Lots of different greeting cards, art supplies like colored pencils and art paper, and collector's pens. They also have more general stationary like lined notebooks and school pencils and erasers. Absolutely would go again!
