Legendary Moleskine Notebook

April 15, 2008

I was at Bibliarch yesterday to buy a Moleskine notebook.

So what may be so special about this notebook?

"Moleskine is the heir of the legendary notebook used for the past two centuries by great artists and thinkers, including Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Ernest Hemingway. This trusty, pocket-sized travel companion held their sketches, notes, stories, and ideas before they became famous images or beloved books. In 1998 the little black notebook, with its typical rounded corners, elastic closure, and expandable inner pocket, was produced by a publisher from Milan under the name "Moleskine".

"Today, Moleskine® is a brand identifying a family of notebooks, journals, planners, and guidebooks, with different functions, complying with a free mindstyle, both basic and emotional, and connected with the digital world through a huge network of websites, blogs, groups, virtual archives in the Internet." (www.moleskine.com)

This is another product we use today that has a historic tale to tell.

More than anything else, errands, tasks, and priorities are always crucial for a mom like me. Ergo, this notebook. I like writing down reminders more than storing them in my mobile phone.

Talk about primitivism. This Moleskine may just be the right fit for me.
