Product DescriptionThis 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.
Moleskine sketch notebook (Rating: 4 out of 5) Product was given as a gift and recipient loved it! Thank you for timely delivery and confirmation.
Great (but expensive) sketchbook (Rating: 5 out of 5) I like the size, hate the price, and love the paper in this sketchbook. I've bought several and really like the small size for it's portability.
Best little book ever (Rating: 5 out of 5) This is a great little drawing book. the pages are great ands the size is just right for a pocket. This is moleskin #4 for me having used a larger size and this size. I just love it. I find myself not only drawing in it but also keeping all types of notes and shopping/to lists in it. In short just get one.
The best sketchbooks (Rating: 5 out of 5) I use these notebooks to write my journal. I know that this is a SKETCHBOOK, it has blank thick pages which makes it awesome to write with any ink without bleeding into the next page.
It in not very small, not very big, it fits your coat inner pocket with no problem.
Every Artist should carry one (Rating: 4 out of 5) As an artist, I can't predict when inspiration is going to strike and so I have learned to carry a small sketchbook with me everywhere. This one is almost perfect. The paper is heavy duty, the sketchbook is lightweight, and the quality is excellent. The only thing that I could possibly wish for would be that the cover be a bit more flexible. However, I would not want to sacrifice the quality for the flexibility. Every artist should make it a habit to carry one of these around!
