The Book Club Reading Journal by Printworks
Some books change you. Most deserve more than a forgotten dog-ear or a vague memory of how you felt at the end. The Book Club Reading Journal from Swedish design house Printworks gives those experiences a permanent home - a place to record what you read, what you thought, and what you want to read next.
This is a journal built for people who take reading seriously. Not in a precious or performative way, but in the way that a reader recognises a great book as worth returning to - worth remembering clearly. The 104 structured pages guide you through logging titles, authors, ratings, and your own considered reflections, as well as maintaining a running list of books you intend to read. It works just as well for a solitary reader as it does for a book club that wants a shared record of its journey through a year of literature.
Design and Materials
The cover is where Printworks earns its reputation. It's bound in cloth over chipboard, finished in a deep, multi-tonal green that sits closer to a fine hardback than anything you'd expect from a stationery item. The colour shifts with the light - earthy in shade, richer in sun - and the tactile quality of the cloth cover is immediately apparent. This is an object you'll leave on a desk or a reading table without apology.
The construction is substantial. At 720g and 25.5 x 18 x 2.5cm, it has the heft of a well-made book and lies flat when open, which matters when you're writing at length. The pages are clean and cream-toned, well-suited to fountain pen or fine-liner use.
Who It's For
It's the right gift for the reader who has everything, because very few readers have a journal this considered. It suits the person who works through 30 books a year and can no longer remember what they thought of something they read in February. It suits the book club that wants a record of its discussions to outlast a group chat. And it suits the reader who simply wants to slow down and engage more deliberately with what they're consuming.
Designed to last, to be used, and to hold up to both.
