Art Alternatives Pen & Ink Sketchbooks: They’ve Changed!

I have mentioned the Pen & Ink Sketchbooks from Art Alternatives many times on this blog. Their pocket size sketchbook with the heavyweight paper is the closest alternative I’ve found to a Moleskine Sketchbook, for those who prefer creamy smooth paper, as opposed to the brighter white, toothier paper found in many other competitors’ pocket … Continue reading Art Alternatives Pen & Ink Sketchbooks: They’ve Changed!

Moleskine Monday: Six-Packs at Costco

Tipster David B. sent me the photo below of Moleskines for sale at his local Costco: These are 6-packs of 10 x 7.5″ lined cahiers in assorted colors. At $19.99 for six, it’s a pretty good deal– the full retail price is normally $19.95 for a 3-pack of this “extra-large” size, though you can also … Continue reading Moleskine Monday: Six-Packs at Costco

It’s a bit early to be thinking … Continue reading A New Look for Moleskine Diaries in 2011?

A reader named Jennike tipped me off to another fantastic deal on Amazon, this time on the 2010 Moleskine Desk Calendar, which is currently marked down 81% to $3.74! I can’t say this is my favorite Moleskine product– I think it’s a bit too much of a stretch away from doing what they do best. … Continue reading Super-cheap Moleskine Desk Calendar!

Moleskine + Kindle2 = Neat-o!

This is very cool, a bookworm’s dream! I wonder if Amazon realized that their re-design of the Kindle would make it the same size as the larger Moleskines! According to the measurements on Amazon, the Kindle2 is 5.3 x 8 x.36 inches. A large Moleskine is 5.2 x 8.2 x .7 inches. So you’d have … Continue reading Moleskine + Kindle2 = Neat-o!
