Yamamoto Ro-Biki Note Walkthrough: The OTHER Slim Notebook System

Everyone's heard about TRAVELER'S Company and the TRAVELER'S Notebook, but did you know there was another notebook system that uses a similar A5-slim layout? Yamamoto Paper, the Japanese paper distributor, makes the Ro-Biki Note Notebooks, along with a matching canvas cover that has an integrated zippered pouch and several pockets around the outside. While not quite as "systematized" as the TRAVELER's Notebook, Ro-Biki Notebooks feature excellent paper and, some would argue, a more intuitive, use-it-right-out-of-the-box design. In this video, I walk through the system and how to set it up. 00:00 Introduction 00:48 Size Comparison with TRAVELER'S Notebook 02:24 How Ro-Biki Works 02:45 Installing Two Notebooks in the Cover 05:25 Installing Three Notebooks in the Cover 07:55 Special Announcement: New T.G.S.
