Product Description

This long-standing tradition was continued by writer-traveller Bruce Chatwin who used to buy his moleskines at an old Paris stationery shop in Rue de l'Ancienne Comedie where he would always stock up before embarking on one of his journeys. Over the years he had developed a veritable ritual. Before using them he would in fact number the pages, writing on the inside his name and at least two addresses across the world, and a message promising a reward for anyone finding and returning the notebook in case of it being lost. He even suggested this method to his friend Luis Sepulveda, when he gave him a precious moleskine as a present for a journey they were planning to undertake together in Patagonia. And there was no doubt as to how precious it was, given that at the time even the last moleskine manufacturer, a small family-run firm of Tours, had discontinued production in 1986. 'Le vrai moleskine n'est plus' was the short and curt statement of the owner of the stationery shop where Chatwin had ordered one hundred before leaving for Australia. Despite having literally swept up all the Moleskines he could find, they were not enough. Now, the moleskine is back again. This silent and discreet keeper of an extraordinary tradition, which has been missing for years, has set out again on its journey. A witness to contemporary nomadism, it can once again pass from one pocket to another to continue the adventure. The sequel still waits to be written and its blank pages are ready to tell the story.

Customer Reviews

great journal
I did not have any delivery problems, it arrived in about a week. The journal is great quality, I am very happy with it and the 18 months version is just what I needed now.

Great Product
The other reviews largely criticize delivery of the planner, so I just wanted to say that I have one of these planners and I love it. The paper is high quality, and I love having a note page every week. I would prefer a hard cover, which is the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

BACKORDERD
I ordered this on June 29 and they said it would arrive July 23. Now it is July 29 and they said it may arrive around Aug 28 but they're not sure. I am cancelling my order and purchasing it elsewhere.
