I have just discovered Moleskin notebooks, and I am in love. I think that my vows to traditional puzzle-pattern Composition notebooks are about to be broken.

I'm working with the breast-pocket sized ones right now. I keep one near my videogame setup, one in the outer pocket of my backpack, and one in transit. This gives me something to write on in the event of an epiphany/revelation/hypographic attack.

But not merely that!

See, the paper's the scribbling equivalent of silk boxers. The covers are comfortably stiff without being so rigid that you need to snap the thing in half to get it into a pocket just slightly smaller than the book's width. And each one of them is bound with string rather than glue.

And there's more!

The pages after the midway mark all have perforated margins near the crack, so you can remove them cleanly in case you need to pass a note or something.

And in the event that you remove one of the perforated sheets but decide you need to keep it, the back cover has a little flap pocket to keep those or any other scraps you deem worth keeping.

Here are some scans of mine (you will see some of my illegible notes on killer7) to show you what I mean.

Numma 1:


Here you can see the sexy binding (and my not-so-sexy reproduction of the killer7 crosshair).


And here you can see two of the perforated sheets. They're awesome because they're perforated just enough to tear only with deliberate force. Meaning, you likely won't accidentally pull out one of the sheets while writing.


Here's the central crack of the notebook. You can see the string, and, in the upper right, you can also see where some Capri Sun ejaculated after I stabbed the straw too hard into the bladder. Importantly, here, the liquid did not soak through the sheet, which means we're dealing with useful, good quality paper.

(Especially for the accident prone.)

(Especially for me.)


And here's the back flap that lets you store your extra crap.

USE THESE.
