They also had this same size sketchbook, but with the binding along the left side, instead of the top. But I figured the top binding was less spirals, so it would weight a little bit less. Plus, pulling the binder with the side binding out of my bag would be more likely for the spiral to get caught on things in my bag.
Which reminds me, there is a bag at Nordstorm Rack that I've been thinking of buying. Maybe I'll get it today at lunch.

I used to have a sticker file. It was packed full ... some said I had a sticker "problem", but I could still pay my rent and buy liquor, so ... where's the problem?

How about it, tom. I don't get why people don't understand why I have a sticker file. It's like, uh...
1) Do you like stickers?
If yes, then you should like to have a bunch of stickers ready to use.
If no, then you are just lame.
Sticker files rule.

Tom, what happened to your sticker file? You should start doing one again.

I've used most of them, I still have a few, but not nearly the quantity and variety I had before. I am always tempted by stickers. Paper Source has some very cool vintage Halloween candy stickers. I'm strapped for ca$h, but that doesn't mean I couldn't add them to my Amazon.com Wish List via the Universal Add to Wish List button! ;)

nice tip on using blue pencils to easily photoshop out the blue in Photoshop.
I started a sticker book a couple years ago in a photo album I bought for dirt cheap at The Pottery Barn. Yea, "dirt cheap" and "Pottery Barn" don't go well together. But the book was about 50-80% off. It is about 6" wide and 14" tall. Very slender. Red canvas hardcover. nice book. The plan was to completely fill the pages with stickers. That didn't quite happen yet.
oh the blue pencil tip is not mine. These are non-photo blue pencils. Industry standard for comic artists.

Oh a sticker book is nice. But you can't reuse the stickers. I'm talking about a sticker file where you can easily pull out the right sticker for any situation and use it.
Although I suppose a sticker book would be fun. It would be fun to curate the stickers in a manner where there are interesting combinations.
Remember in 1985 how we collected stickers more than we did baseball cards? We were obssessed with trying to fill up our baseball card sticker album. I have an RSS search on ebay for the stickers from that year. I haven't gotten many results. When you think about it, stickers should be worth more than cards, because I bet there aren't many unused stickers around anymore.
Does Topps still make baseball stickers?

My sister had a sticker photo album back in the early to mid 80's when stickers were really all the rage. You could use the stickers if you wanted, but it was more of a collection, so you wouldn't use them. A sticker file's purpose, as you noted spud, is to hold stickers until you find something for which to stick them to.

Stickers really can stick around.

Just make sure that if you're ever called for jury duty that you reapply your juror's sticker to the correct side of the paper it came on. Stick it on the wrong side and you'll hvae a hard time getting it off and it will just never be the same again

I'm sure you are just speaking speculatively, right? I mean IF that just so happens to someone that they MIGHT put the sticker on the wrong side. Not that has ever happened to you.

You got me that pack of baseball stickers a couple years ago. The shapes were conformed to the shape of the player. They were over-sized. I have a few on different things in my boiler room. I haven't seen stickers the size of regular baseball cards or smaller.
It is quite interesting that baseball stickers have next no value. That's an industry mindset. Most collectors don't see stickers as cards, so they they categorize them as something else like posters.
