Moleskine Pocket Squared Notebook

This 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.

User Reviews about Moleskine Pocket Squared Notebook

The Moleskine Pocket Squared Notebook is a handy little journal about the size of wallet. With grid lines similar to mathematical graphing paper the book allows for a variety of different uses and makes it very easy to organize anything.

Moleskine notebooks all have a ribbon bookmark and elastic strap to keep the book closed which are both niceties, especially for something that works more like a low tech PDA. I have used several of these journals and will continue to uses them. If you're looking for something larger this is fairly small but if you want a little notebook that is well constructed this guy is perfect for your back pocket. -- Great Little Black Book

Great for jotting down woodworking ideas, technical drawings, numbers, anything really. I have one I keep for woodworking and one I keep for remembering passwords, IP addresses, and networking info. -- Moleskine Perfection

I have several of these AMAZING notebooks, and looking for something new in my Moleskine collection, I got the squared book. I have found so much use in this book for putting it in my handbag and just writing anything that I may need or want to write. You can sketch in here, and being the doodler I am, make cool designs with the squares!! Who needs a BlackBerry when you can do ALL those things with a handy dandy notebook. No matter what you may use this book for, the greatest thing is that it is sturdy enough to get the wear and tear of love that your journal deserves. -- Moleskine never dissapoints me!!

This notebook has served me well for six months. Unfortunately, the paper is better suited to ballpoint or rollerball pens than to fountain pens. For most readers, this won't be an issue. Recommended! -- Handy Notebook
