In the 1950’s Peter Spiegl moved from London to the glorious Georgian town of Stamford, Lincolnshire. ‘England’s most attractive town’ exclaimed John Betjeman. There he set up Spiegl Press. Its aim? To deliver high quality commercial printing and bookbinding. The first step in the creation of the now iconic Stamford Notebooks. Now, each handmade journal contains high quality pages made in Britain. Wrapped in handcrafted, beautifully soft woven cloth to bind the whole thing together. Because sure, anything can qualify as a place to jot your thoughts or craft your next masterpiece – but, is it a Stamford notebook?

The present day Managing Director Hugo Spiegl began working in earnest at 13 on the printing press floor, whilst still in school. The chugging of the printing presses in his ears and the smell of the ink in his nostrils. His passion for artisan printing and bookbinding lead to the creation of The Stamford Notebook Co. And their exquisite handmade journals.
