I love my Moleskine notebook. It’s small, durable, has no lines and has a pocket in the back for business cards and driver’s license. I have tried (and still try) other less expensive brands, but none of them could take the wear and tear or hold their ink. My Moleskine is the best notebook for sketching, note taking, etc.
But this guy has taken it to an all new level. My inner geek in me is creaming “Hell yeah!” while another part is silently weeping of what could have been made of all that beautiful grade paper. But at the end of the day… this is still very cool.
Great question/discussion going on over at The Book Design Review about book covers with no titles on them. Chime in with your two cents.
Here’s a short article brimming with links to book related podasts! Most are attached to “serious” book reviewers at newspapers. But others are produced by book publishers and books fans. And all contain good interviews with authors. It’s interesting to hear an author’s voice as they talk about there work. Not one of them has sounded like the voices inside my head as I read their stories.
Now I just need to start riding the bus so I have time to listen.
