Panobook

A Notebook for Your Desk
Panobook is a panoramic notebook for your desk, and eventually, your shelf. Made of quality materials and thoughtful details, and includes a slipcase for archiving when you’re finished.

Simply put: I love this notebook. I have no interest in keeping any other notebook on my desk.
Panoramic
Designed for your desk.
The unique panoramic format (160 mm x 288 mm) of Panobook is designed to sit nicely on your desk, either in front of, behind, or next to your keyboard. We wanted to create a notebook that was always open and always within arm’s reach. The wide format is fantastic for a variety of uses, and gets the creative juices flowing.

Dot Grid
Featuring subtle guide markers.
Every page of Panobook has a very subtle dot grid, with a twist. We’ve included guide markers that make it easy to quickly draw three rectangles on the page, sized ideally for smartphone UI design or storyboarding. We also included edge guides to divide up the page and provide layout cues. The guides virtually disappear if you are not looking for them, but are very useful when you need them.

Quality Materials
Sweating the details.
We paid attention to every last detail in this notebook. The paper is super high quality, and performs well with a variety of writing instruments without smudging or bleeding. The front and back covers are rigid, with an amazing soft touch feel. Panobook is bound with a robust wire-o binding, which allows the notebook to sit flat when opened. We think you will appreciate all the care and attention to detail we put into this thing.

The Keepsake
A notebook meant to be kept.
Panobook comes with a slip case, which is meant to be the final resting place for your notebook. You can write on the spine to catalogue the notebook, and it looks awesome when you line several up on a shelf. We've noticed a tendency among designers to hang on to their old notebooks, and Panobook helps facilitate that.

Changed My Workflow

Really starting to like these notebooks. I noticed an improvement on quality between purchase #1 and purchase #2 as well. The price is a little high, but if you use front and back of the page they will last several months with daily use.

Will continue to purchase.

Makes taking notes a joy!

This is the latest of several orders. I love these notebooks! They feel luxurious and are just the right size. The stiffness allows them to be used away from my desk and the added features like a ruler on the first page always come in handy!

Finally Found My Solution

I bought both the Panopad and the Sidekick Notepad to try both out. The concept of both is similar and their style is what I was looking for. I needed something to take quick notes in a convenient size but big enough when the time came. I find the Panopad to meet my needs better than the Sidekick. The Panopad dot gridwork works better for taking notes especially because I predominately use it in a vertical orientation. I find the Sidekick's quality good, but the formatting of the pages, especially the To-Do list taking up about 1/4 of the page, to be wasteful to me. I also like the Panopad because it is less expensive and just as useful. I will definitely be buying more Panopads in the future!

Superb Analog Addition to a Digital Workspace

Luxury canvas for jotting, good friction for pencil (graphite & color), my Panobook gives me a real-world place to mark my thoughts, a grounding patch of ground at the boundary between digital and analog.
