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.

I carry my Moleskine planner in my purse with me every day. I write down everything, otherwise I forget, so having my personal analog assistant handy is pretty important. The cover is simple and classy and the paper is high quality. A friend gave me the 2006 daily diary for my birthday last year, and as we near 2007, I'm eager to pass the gift of Moleskine on.

I have been writting in a journal for over 40 years. I am not Hemingway or Chatwin but my journalling is important to me. Moleskine provides a perfact tool for journalling, note taking, doddleing and even keepsake holding. The small ones are best, you can put them in your pocket and take them any where, they can stand up to alot of travelling abuse. It's not difficult having a good idea it's just difficult remembering it. Moleskines are friends who remind you.

Very convenient, durable enough for daily use, small enough for jacket pocket. I used the larger one last year; this is better. Lots of white space to write--none of those goofy unusable categories littering the page like some dayminders have. Lacks the pretension of the electronic organizers: Been there and done that. This is real and primal--a page, a pen, a day, a year: a life. Address book tucks in the back. It's great that this product was good enough for Hemmingway and Matisse; It works for Mark and Gail, and that's all that matters to us. --MARK & GAIL
