How To Unwrap a New Moleskine
- Unwrap the plastic
- Pull the paper sleeve from the cover
- Tuck the post card and stamps in the accordion pocket.
- Kiss the history of Moleskine pamphlet, and reflect how fortunate you are to be using a notebook favored by Hemmingway and Van Gogh
- Open the notebook, and turn to the middle, or thereabouts
- Bury your nose between the pages, rooting as closely as possible to the spine.
- Breath deeply
- Repeat Step 7 until filled with a sense of well being











I haven't reached step 6 yet. I will next time.

Hey Mike - Better tell Modo & Modo so they can add a warning label. Kids, don't try this at home!

It's just a notebook! Granted a nice notebook, but c'mon! ;)
