Upon opening the wrapper, I realized that this truly is a great brand that pays attention to all of the details. my favorite.
I got a plain ruled notebook.
First of all, the label across the front is color coded for each type of book they sell. Look at the typeface, and placement of.
Each one comes with a little sheet of labels "for sending signals, exchanging messages, collecting ideas."
For the time being, I put them into the little built-in sleeve in the back cover.
It even comes with a little history booklet.
Each page has beautifully rounded corners.
I was reminded of the opening of 1984... when the main character is presented with the smooth, creamy paper of the notebook. I think it was a notebook. hiding from the screens. That's what I felt like - like I had discovered something so wonderful that it almost seems like it shouldn't exist, or be allowed. Well done, Modo & Modo.
Congratulations!!! I think I have some extras laying around you could have used. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you buy another, and might like something with no lines, I would recommend you go with the "sketch" and not the "plain." The pages in the sketchbook are really nice and thick. A thicker than any sketchbook I've had! That way, you can use anything to write with and not worry about bleeding.
The pockets are fun. Sometimes I forget about putting things in there!
i'm so happy you love them! i love them so! i need to get a new one soon.
ReplyDeleteNicole - I love thick pages! I'll have to try that. Actually, one that I really loved, and I might get (if I continue with this brand... I honestly love the 8.5x11 linen-bound) is the Japanese style - where the pages fold out like an accordion, sort of. mmm! Also, re:pockets - cool to look in them every now and then. It's like a little surprise, like finding money in your pants.
ReplyDeleteLaura - eep!
The pages are thicker than index cards. You will LOVE.
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese style sounds interesting, though. I don't know if I'd use that for a "sketchbook/journal/random writing" type thing, though. I'd want it to be special. Kind of like the New York Notebook that took me forever to actually write in because I felt like it should be something special or with a purpose. But I'm so happy I just use it as a journal/random writing type of thing. So maybe that Jap Moleskine WOULD be good! Yum!
