Moleskine Updates 2 *
Had this one early this year, but I dunno why I kept it unpublished. Maybe ’twas the messy background.
My moleskine: 33 pages more to go.
I have people asking me what is Moleskine. I have compiled information from Moleskine website and basically copied, edited and paste it in here for your reading convenience.
This little black notebook, with its typical rounded corners, elastic closure, and expandable inner pocket, was originally a nameless object. It was produced by a small French bookbinder, that supplied Parisian stationery shops frequented by the international literary and artistic avant-garde for more than a century. Moleskine is the heir of the legendary notebook used for the past two centuries by great artists and thinkers, including Vincent Van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, and Bruce Chatwin.
In the mid-1980s, however, it no longer became available. In his book “Songlines”, Bruce Chatwin tells us the whole story of his favourite notebook, which he nicknamed “Moleskineâ€. In 1986, the original manufacturer – a family operating in Tours – closed down forever: “Le vrai moleskine n’est plus†are the lapidary words he puts into the mouth of the owner of the stationery shop in Rue de l’Ancienne Comédie – also a legendary spot – where Chatwin stocked up on the notebooks. The English writer-traveller bought up all the “Moleskines†that he could find, but they were not enough.
Then in 1998, a small Milanese publisher brought the legendary notebook back to life under the name “Moleskineâ€.
