| | |  | Coffee | Home » » » Moleskine Reporter, Small Squared Notebook | | | | | | | 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. | | | Features: | |

 IT'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT THESE THINGS...May 22, 2010
I wish I could really put into words why I derive such pleasure from these little notebooks but I cant...Here are the pros that I can put my finger on:
1) Great paper, I typically write with fountain pens and this paper absorbs the ink nicely. This is crucial when writing in small spaces, such as these note pads.
2) Great durable binders. Almost like writing in a hard cover book.
3) The elastic band closure is excellent. I have ruined many notepads in my travels with them flopping open.
4) Very well made...I have owned about a half dozen Moleskines, to date, and I find them all made to very high standards.
Again, there is more to these notebooks but I just cant quite put my finger on it. The bottom line is that if you need to utilize a notebook in your life, for business or pleasure, you just cannot go wrong with Moleskine products. Grab a reporter for easy notes on the go and get a larger journal for the home, desk or briefcase.

Moleskin: The BestFeb 24, 2010
I discovered the Moleskin line of blank books a couple of years ago. I'd never go back to the pocket spiral bound note books I've carried for most of my life. The Moleskins are a plesure to write in, The elastic is still tight on my original Moleskin, and the marker ribbon and pocket at the back aare so useful. Thanks Moleskin. Stan

Amazing NotebookFeb 15, 2009
It's hard to believe that something so simply could exceed my expectations, and yet this does. Every detail has been well thought out and this little notebook functions far better than I expected it to. It so good, I don't quite know how that happens.
The perfect product I been wanting for years.Oct 30, 2007
I discovered the Moleskine line of notebooks last week at a bookstore in London. I am a journalist who likes the standard reporter notebook, except for one detail -- they aren't built for the long-term. I keep my notebooks for at least five years. I will gladly pay $9.99 a pop for a leather bound, acid-free smaller version of the traditional reporter's notebook. Thank you Amazon.com for stocking these!
