At Drugstore in Santiago, Chile, the drug is culture! There are permanent stores inside as well as outdoor stalls. Four papelerías including Ru Papel, and a vast number of bookstores, record stores, craft stores.

I bought two square format Made in Chile notebooks with sophisticated cloth covers.

The legend of the 999α (999 alpha).

“supreme quality for drawing lines of high density”

A box of the Pentel Black Polymer 999α CB200 in HB.

It took over a decade for me to find a box in a preferred grade at a reasonable price. I will be sharpening them!

The pencil sharpener at the famous Casa Azul, the Museo Frida Kahlo in the city of México. The home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, many original artifacts, including art supplies, are on display. I didn’t see any pencils.

Friends and stationery aficionados, Apuntes is not your average stationery store! Everything is locally designed, and many of the products are locally made!

In the Roma Norte area of the City of Mexico, it is definitely worth a visit!

Goods for the Study on NYC's West 8th Street is remarkable!

I have never seen such a large and busy specialty stationer. Even a lengthy line to the cash register! I would describe the focus as being writing implements and paper. Lots and lots of paper. Depth in quality product lines - alternate colours, versions, etc., not just a small curation.

Apologies to the random guy in front. And a shout out to @classicarepas across the street - a delightful Venezuelan restaurant.

Museum souvenirs don’t alway delight, but the Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum in New York have made an effort!

@themuseumofmodernart offers a custom Camel pencil from Japan, and @metmuseum has jumbo and super jumbo imprinted graphite pencils, and also some small diameter but full length colour pencils from Portugal.

The @davidzwirnerbooks edition of Virginia Woolf’s “Oh, to Be a Painter!” is a very pleasant paperback.
