The New Yorker Cats Journal
There is a particular kind of wit that The New Yorker has spent a century perfecting, and nowhere does it land with more precision than in its cat cartoons. This journal gathers 25 of the finest into a slim, handsome volume that earns its place on any desk or in any bag.
The cover is clean and unfussy - a matte black format that signals confidence rather than decoration. Inside, 200 ruled pages offer the kind of generous writing space that encourages you to actually use it: for drafting, journaling, list-making, or whatever it is you have been meaning to write down. The pages are punctuated throughout by full New Yorker cat cartoons, which manage to be genuinely funny in the way that only good cartooning can be - dry, observational, and never trying too hard.
A few details worth knowing
The journal measures 130 x 215mm, which makes it slim enough for a briefcase, tote, or coat pocket without feeling insubstantial. A ribbon bookmark keeps your place without bending corners. Printed flyleaves add a considered finish at both ends, and an inside back pocket handles receipts, loose notes, or whatever small papers tend to accumulate. It is a thoughtfully put-together object.
Who it's for
Anyone who writes by hand and has a feeling that their journal could be a little less generic. It works equally well as a personal gift for a cat person, a treat for yourself, or a desk companion that makes the act of writing feel slightly more civilised.
