I have mentioned here in the past my obsession with Moleskine notebooks (and also how I have trouble writing in them for fear of sullying them). Well, they have announced a couple special edition versions of their notebooks that I’m pretty much required by law to purchase.
The first is the Pac-Man collection, for which you can see the little video above. Pretty sweet, huh?
Second, and even better, is the Peanuts collection. I’ve already requested one of these for a Christmas gift.
Will I have the courage to write in it? That I’m not sure.

i too, sometimes refuse to write anything at all into a beautiful notebook. as if i was destroying its purity/beauty…
that’s one of the reasons i type instead of writing.
and if i am to have a paper-based writing i use ordinary, cheap-looking exercise books. the one they use in school, the cheapest kind.
this pacman video does look cool.
I love Moleskine notebooks – have you seen the video talking about how to pronounce it?
Ooh-er. Didn’t know it would do that for me!
Nice. The correct pronunciation has an “ah” sound at the end.
You are hilarious, Paul! I don’t get the moleskin thing, although truthfully I think I only first heard about them when you blogged about your love for them, and since then, I keep hearing about them. I think I saw one once and picked it up and saw how much it cost and put it down.
On the other hand, I do love a great pen, and if it felt just right on a piece of moleskin paper, I’d be tempted. Still… it would have to be something good to write.
Maybe I should pick one up for my first grad lecture!
They are probably a bit overrated, but they are a nice solid notebook. I especially like the pocket in the back.
For the lecture, you should just get one of those .99 Mead Composition notebooks. Save the moleskine for your next novel
Okay, that Pacman commercial is bitchin’ in the best possible way. Not a huge fan o’ Pacman but I love that commercial.
Now onto Peanuts. Oh, the Snoopy one is a must-have at $13.57. However, I fear I am in the same boat as you. I would never write in it since I would not feel my words were worthy.
It’s still awesome though.
