I have been buying Moleskine notebooks of all sorts for years now, and they are simply my favorites! High quality paper, portable sizes, and elegant simplicity of design make them a pleasure to use. I just ordered a new datebook for 2005 and it arrived in three days, well packaged and in perfect condition. Moleskines are not cheap, but they last forever, so in my mind they're worth the price. They also make great gifts for the writers, artists, and obsessive list-makers in your life.
