I just got my first moleskin and have to say I'm in love with it. I use mine mostly as a planner but I'm already thinking about getting one to act as a regular notebook.

When I think about it, perhaps it is the "Chatwin, Hemingway and
Picasso" slogan. Do people buy Moleskines because of this fact? I buy
mine because they are excellent books. What I guess I dislike about
this slogan is that it should probably be limited to the specific books
that those personalities used. I doubt Picasso used the Music book or
Hemingway used a watercolour reporter, but this is just nit-picking
really. :-)</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.moleskinerie.com/2007/03/why_are_moleski.html"><P>I have noticed since becoming infatuated with my Moleskines in the last
year, a common observation that keeps popping up is that Moleskines (or
use of them) tends to be perceived as being pretentious. For example I
have been in notebooking stores and have been within an earshot of
people looking at other brands and I quote: saying, "They are not
pretentious like those Moleskines". I also have friends that dislike
the brand due to this stigma that they seem to have.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.moleskinerie.com/2007/03/why_are_moleski.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.moleskinerie.com/img/3DDDE0BD-79D1-4072-9886-BF105873DD20" alt="404046226_e99ced5272" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4BDE7332-B0BB-42D4-BA72-27EB99533D62/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
