Moleskine Notebooks

Moleskine notebooks are simple black notebooks, but with some features that make them the notebook of choice for anybody who likes to use paper instead of PDA's or computers to record their thoughts and ideas. I love my computer and iPod, but nothing has surpassed the ease of use and incredible archival qualities of paper. Using paper you can permanently archive your thoughts. Computers are not so permanent. A hard disk crash could lose it all. Regular backups can help. But in 20 years will you still be using the same operating system? No such grief with paper. If stored properly it will last thousands of years. (Pencil being the preferred medium, as graphite will not fade like ink can.)

Why Moleskine?

Moleskine notebooks are based on a design of notebook used by some of Europe's most notable intellectuals, writers and artists. Van Gogh, Hemingway and Chatwin all used the original Moleskine notebook. The modern Moleskine uses a synthetic 'Mole Skin' cover. (No moles are harmed!). The cover is held together by an elastic enclosure, which keeps the pages clean and tidy. Opening up you find an attached fabric bookmark, which is useful for quick access. On the inside back-cover there is a expandable pocket - great for receipts and clippings. The notebook has pocket-friendly rounded corners and is available in two sizes, for pocket use or your desk. It is this unique combination of features that makes the Moleskine special. It's history is just a bonus. It really is a very practical and useful notebook. It's quality acid free paper will preserve notes, sketches and words a lot longer than any other medium available.

Moleskine Models

There are many different varieties of Moleskine available. Most shops only keep one or two types. MojoLondon were the original online Moleskine shop and they keep them all in-stock. From Moleskine Sketch Books to Music Books or the useful Memo Pockets. I use an Moleskine address book to remember passwords and log-in details, and from a security point of view, someone would have to break-in and steal it, there is no way someone could hack it! I use Moleskine Ruled Notebooks for lectures and for snippets of code. My wife uses the Moleskine sketch book for drawings and pictures.
