Where can I find an A5 binder?

April 17, 2007 7:37 AM

Any idea where a Yank might purchase an A5 binder? I love the A5 notebooks by Miquelrius, and am seeking a two-ring binder in which to store its pages, but can't seem to find one here in the States.

You may want to try calling Staples: 1-800-3STAPLE. They've always been really helpful to me when I've been in search of weird office supplies.

might check out amazon.co.uk, they do deliver. I am personally in love with Black n' Red notebooks, and I buy nearly all the ones I use in a year (around 30) from Amazon UK

Shallowcenter, I have dozens of A5 binders and nothing to do with them in the U.S.. Message me and I'll send you one or two.

Seems like Americans don't actually have anything resembling A5 at all. Weird.

Endsofinvention: it's true. I love using an A5 notebook just to keep in your pocket to write things down, but here in the States? As Charles Bronson would say: "No dice".

If you're in the U.S., you might want to check out Asian stores/bookstores. Some Asian supermarkets have a stationery section or a stationery/gift "mini-store" inside that might have A5 binders. I used to get A5 size folders in the gift store inside Yaohan supermarket in Costa Mesa (southern CA).

I will second the Asian store recommendation. Here in Seattle there is the Kinokuniya bookstore inside Uwajimaya in the International District, and IIRC, they have A5 stuff.

I'd hoped that Miquelrius' American presence would have binders for you, but no such luck. However, they've got a bunch of A5 notebooks, not to mention A4-A7 material, and other things.
