Nyack’s new fine stationery shop

COMING AUGUST 2026

— • —

We’re pleased to offer many excellent products from such beloved and trusted brands as:

Maruman, Stalogy, Appointed, Leuchtturum, Resketch, and of course Field Notes . . .

Tombow, Mitsu-Bishi, Kaweco, Sailor, Pavilion, Platinum, and inevitably Blackwing . . .

and the largest and loveliest selection hand-printed greeting cards in the area

We will also carry several products under the Busman's Holiday trademark, including pencil sets, notebooks, and very laboriously produced note cards.

I’m thrilled to soon be offering beautiful paper goods and inspiring creative tools to locals and visitors of Nyack.

Busman’s Holiday is a new venture for me, after a long career as a graphic designer. I've designed books, websites, brand identities, to cite just a few areas of my expertise. If you’ve played the New York Times crossword app or walked past the IFC Center in the Village, you’ve seen my work. Through it all I’ve been a zine maker, a matchbook collector and pencil accumulator, and someone who loves strange beautiful little objects irrationally. Somehow all of this will, with luck, inform what we offer at Busman’s Holiday.

My wife and I live in South Nyack with our brindle hound Hennie. You may find me walking Hens on the Esposito Trail most evenings.
