Celebrating the Moleskine
In today’s NY Times, Rob Walker writes, The Moleskine just looks like a thing that holds interesting, and possibly important, jottings and sketches. Even if you’re carrying it to another boring staff meeting to take notes about sales projections, the notebook makes for a fantastic emblem of creative possibility.
It’s the celebrated nicely designed notebook of the likes of Hemingway and Picasso. I’ve been a fan for a couple of years now and would use nothing else. It’s a fashion statement as much as a garden for the muses - a reminder of the magic of the sensual in a digital world.

I’ve been keeping notes and journaling for years. I always was looking for a better notebook to write in. Even when I went to China and Japan, I was looking at notebooks. I love these little puppies, the best I’ve ever used.

I bought my first moleskine today. I feel very good about that. I have a strange love of paper/stationery products, and an obsession with Ernest Hemingway, so this journal is a nice addition to the myriad of other special things I carry constantly in my City Lights Bookstore bag.
Thanks, Jack.
