Books without words inside.

"Those us out there who use Moleskine, we do have an attachment to them — in front of us stands a finite number of lines to trace the circles of our own stories. A sense of ownership of the words written within, even though the book itself is just another product in the current of commerce and stream of marketing. That fact aside, there are some elements about the book that make it the only option, at least for now. (After all, Innovation is always close by.)

Some of those elements include: a pocket to collect the scraps of experiences, and a hard cover that protects the pages from the elements and travails of travel. It’s a sturdy thing, at least on the construction side. Even when I’ve crammed the pocket full or ripped out blank pages for quick notes and such, I find that the elastic-banded pages get out there and back, with lines to spare for an address, a number, or an anecdote (rarities in this era of “Let-Me-Get-Your-Number-In-My-Phone-So-I-Can-Scroll-Over-It-Every-Few-Days-Good-To-See-You-Again.”)..."

Well put. I put so many thoughts and ideas in my notebook. I've had mine since the beginnning of May and it's nearly full. Some say it's just a notebook, but they're wrong, Moleskines have power. I can't write on regular paper like I can in my Moleskine.
