Our friend in Vienna, JC alerted us to this feature on the September’06 issue of the Men’s Journal:
"Hemingway’s Blackberry"
A notebook may seem too basic to be iconic; yet the Moleskine’s combination of hefty cardboard covers, long-lasting acid-free paper , and an expanding rear pocket combine to form the same receptacle for sketches and ideas that Hemingway and Picasso carried…"
Yes, its right up there with storm lanterns, crag-climbing ropes and wooden canoes.

A special shoutout to our friends in
Punta Arenas, Magallanes y de la Antartica, Chile!
What’s not to like. Moleskines rock.
I put together a gift pack for my writer friends and it includes a good gel-ink pen, usually a Pilot G2, and a large ruled Moleskine notebook. For my artist friends, I usually switch the pen out for colored pencils and the Moleskine is a watercolor one.
Very nice, I’ll have to pick that one up!
