Product Description This long-standing tradition was continued by writer-traveller Bruce Chatwin who used to buy his moleskines at an old Paris stationery shop in Rue de l'Ancienne Comedie where he would always stock up before embarking on one of his journeys. Over the years he had developed a veritable ritual. Before using them he would in fact number the pages, writing on the inside his name and at least two addresses across the world, and a message promising a reward for anyone finding and returning the notebook in case of it being lost. He even suggested this method to his friend Luis Sepulveda, when he gave him a precious moleskine as a present for a journey they were planning to undertake together in Patagonia. And there was no doubt as to how precious it was, given that at the time even the last moleskine manufacturer, a small family-run firm of Tours, had discontinued production in 1986. 'Le vrai moleskine n'est plus' was the short and curt statement of the owner of the stationery shop where Chatwin had ordered one hundred before leaving for Australia. Despite having literally swept up all the Moleskines he could find, they were not enough. Now, the moleskine is back again. This silent and discreet keeper of an extraordinary tradition, which has been missing for years, has set out again on its journey. A witness to contemporary nomadism, it can once again pass from one pocket to another to continue the adventure. The sequel still waits to be written and its blank pages are ready to tell the story.
It was meant to be...July 19, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been keeping some form of a journal since I was in the first grade. I have always loved to write. But my problem was sticking with the journal I was on. It was always to big or two small or the lines were to far apart or I had to use a specific pen etc. I've always been very particular about the little things. But that's why the Moleskine is the perfect notebook, it satisfies the little things. It is small so I can take it everywhere. The smaller lines allow me to fit more on a page and they allow my small handwriting to fill up the page as well. I use Zebra F-301 Ball Point pen for the Moleskine, and they flow so well on the acid free paper. I love how compact and sleek it is. I love how the pages are thin but sturdy. I love how it looks when I flip though the used pages. I love how it has an elastic enclosure and a bookmark to mark my pages. I love the back pocket which is roomier then you would imagine. I keep a picture of my mother when she was close to my age in there. It serves as a reminder how I am to today, and where I could be in twenty years. The notebook is something that I can look back on and remember my time and my life as it once was. Again, it's the little things that get me excited. And this little black notebook has won my heart and my pen. I love it. It's something you have to try for yourself. There are three difficulties when it comes to Moleskine. The first is actually purchasing the notebook. I'm eighteen years old, I use three at a time. They aren't cheap, but they are well worth it. The second is breaking it in. The first word is always very daunting because it looks to perfect to taint. But once you have passed the second hurdle, the hardest one comes, putting it down. I carry mine everywhere. It very bittersweet when you finish one. When you write in a Moleskine, you feel like a writer. Buy one and try it out, you know you want to.
Honestly the best notebook there is.May 29, 2008 Okay, I'll bite. What I' m about to relate is gushing praise, but I assure it's 100% true and not mere sarcasm: This is the best collection of unmarked pages between two covers that you will ever own. I've used a moleskine notebook as a day planner every year since 2004. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it. Can you get by with something else? Sure. And I have to say that I've found some el-cheapo Mead products that'll get the job done in a pinch, but honestly, there's nothing like this litte notebook. Ruled pages, hard cover, bookmark, inside pocket, they thought of everything and even managed to make it small and aesthetically pleasing. Truely, this is the iPhone of notebooks. It's ten bucks. Just get one, try it out, thank me later.
Best Notebook EverApril 6, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I don't know that you could ask for more from a notebook but this has been the ultimate travel tool, body armor, brain dump, artistic escape, GTD list, shopping list, map holder, goal saver, love maker, and Thetan blocker that I could have ever asked for.
To India and BackMarch 16, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I diligently tried to go digital with a few different PDA's including my Blackberry, but I kept coming back to pen and paper. Paper doesn't "crash", it can't be hacked, copied or get infected with a virus. I filled a few "Black and Red" brand notebooks, and while they are high quality they are a little big (8.5 x 11).
This one is small enough that I can put it in my back pocket (jeans or dress pants). The spine has a little give even though its a hard cover and I can sit on it and it isn't too uncomfortable... your butt gets used to it. Very durable. I use it for all my my notes at work (I'm an executive at a fortune 200 company), and the little pocket in the back cover is perfect for business cards. All of my business notes are in the front and I start from the back for personal lists and notes that I want to keep. That way, no matter where I am, I've got my personal and business stuff handy.
I've filled three of them so for. On my last one, the spine split during a three week trip to India, but none of the pages fell out. It took a pretty good beating and it even accompanied me on an elephant ride. A few people made comments that you can't use gel type ink pens because the ink smears when you close the book. Didn't find that to be much of a problem.
I'll never go back to a full size notebook and I'm hooked on this durable little guy!
The superior traveler's notebookFebruary 11, 2008 There is not a thing I can add which hasn't already been said. My experience is that they hold up better than anything else I've tried. I left a star off on the rating because as some have mentioned, if you write on both sides of the pages, these is a slight bleed through. Otherwise perfect for on-the-go note recording!
