Man, that Hal Chase notebook is pretty sweet. I bid on the same one in eBay some time ago, but lost it at the end. Still kills me! If it's for sale, let me know. Thanks for sharing.

Only notebook I have. Snagged on eBay a few months ago. Curious if anyone has seen this one before.

Here's another Stars of the Diamond cover. Wonder how many different ones we can get posted on here? May be a good way to come up with our own checklist of these.

The guy I bought mine from had several. I should have snapped a pic. I did get his business card though so I'll send him an email tonight.

That Matty notebook cover is flat-out gorgeous, Bryan.
