Special Editions: University of Leipzig

Moleskine has released a commemorative edition for the 600th yearof the University of Leipzig. Established in 1409, its students have included Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Werner Heisenberg and Angela Merkel,

"For the Leipzig Jubilee, Moleskine has designed a special notebook, meeting the needs of an increasingly active city from all points of view: as a commercial, cultural and trade centre. This exclusive City notebook features the logo of the Alma Mater Lipsiensis and a timeline of its most historical moments over 600 years of activity on the cover and paper band. It is a one-stop guidebook, encompassing several precious elements produced especially for this edition: 50 pages on the history of the University; a street map indicating public transport routes (day and night timetables) and the various university departments (specifying their details and indicating them on the map); a wide range of stickers, chosen in collaboration with the Tourist Board; 80 blank pages; and an inner pocket, in which to store one's mementos of the city..."

I love the blue map, that's a nice touch.

The UN puts out a customized version with the blue UN symbol stamped on the front. And people are stamping somehow impressions of names of companies on the cover and so on. It wouldn't be surprising at all if the company started customizing Moleskines for corporate promotions, as long as you order a few hundred. Or like with engraving the notebooks (until they learned of the deadly fumes it looked like Modofly was going to be the next shooting star out of the box).

I think it's kind of neat.
