Moleskine Notebooks

The Moleskine Notebookswill be the first of a couple product reviews I'm going to do today. This item goes great with the first product featured on this blog, the Space Pen. Moleskine notebooks is a high quality notebook with its origins in small French bookstores. Famous European writers, thinkers, and artists have used this notebook for centuries to jot down their notes, designs and ideas. A few of these include Van Gogh, Hemingway, and Picasso. That being said, I believe this is the another amazing tool for any blogger or writer.

The Moleskine Notebooks date back two centuries, when small French bookbinders would provide these notebooks for stationary shops visited by the avant-garde. It was extremely popular, as its usage by such famous people suggests. However, by the late 20th century, its production had nearly stopped. In 1986, the last French bookstore carrying these notebooks closed its doors. However, in 1998, a Milanese publisher brought the Moleskine Notebooksback. It once again began spreading around the world.

What a great history! but what about it makes it so great as a notebook? There are plenty of notebooks out there, so something has to make this one stand out! Here are some of the reasons:

  • Lots of pages (192-240) per notebook.
  • Authentic "MoleSkine" Oil Cloth Bound cover (Rigid or Soft)
  • Acid Free paper.
  • An elastic closure and an expandable inner note holder made of cardboard and oilcloth and a removable card with the moleskine history.
  • Plenty of sizes and various paper types for all sorts of needs, from composing music, creating designs, or writing.
Moleskine Notebooks can be found on Amazon from $6-$20, depending on the size that you get. Imported from Italy, you save more if you purchase in quantity. All of the various types are available in my AStore! I'm going to be purchasing both this and the Space Pensoon, so you know that they're great!

You can find out more about them also at the Moleskine website.
