i have a thing for paper and journals and books and things, and this is one of my best purchases ever in that category. virtually indestructable, stuff doesn't fall out of it, high-quality paper, super portable--it has fit in all of my purses. plus it just looks cool. and smart.

My father was a printer, and I learned a lot about the different qualities of paper from him. Moleskine notebooks are made from paper that I love to write on, acid free and smoothly textured. The paper responds well to any writing medium I’ve tried. These “little black books” are made in many sizes and come with plain pages, ruled in various widths, or with grids. They also come printed as diaries and datebooks. There’s a pocket inside the back cover, an attached ribbon to mark your place and a woven elastic band to keep the notebook shut.

A luxury item that is extremely practical. This notebook fits perfectly in the back pocket of my Levi's and comes out hours later no worse for wear. This is the style I use for my everyday notes, to do list and thoughts.

Pair this with a Space Pen for perfect portability and you will be ready to record your inspirations whenever they hit.
