I’m a big fan of Moleskines. I carry one with me all the time. (it sounds so pretentious!) I’ve seen prettier books but I carry the plain moleskine because hemingway, picasso and van gogh used these books. (talk about aspirational branding!)
The big news is that Moleskine is set to release the City Notebook. Come spring, travelers within and to America will be able to create personalized travel guides with these nifty little books that come packed with maps, labels and the legendary accordian folder. I am already imagining passing on these notebooks, filled with memotos from my travels as a legacy to my children. (via coolhunting.com)
These books aer almost cult-like– check out the number of fan-sites for this book (MoleSkine Art)

Hi,
Nice blog!
Why don’t you consider writing about some of the new “India 2.0” sites that are creating a little buzz as well?
Eg: http://www.ilaaka.com

Thanks!

Hi there,
I stumbled upon this while looking for somewhere to buy a Moleskine in India. I’m from the USA but currently traveling around-the-world. Unfortunately, the 2007 diary wasn’t out when I left for Asia in June and in two days I’m going to be stuck writing in a non-Moleskine!
Because it sounds like you have some India connections please let me know if you know somewhere I could pick up a 2007 planner in Southern India. Mumbai, Hyperbad etc.
Thanks!
ps. I think this does prove us Moleskien users are a little insane and cult-like.
