Not so happy with the Moleskine notebook that I picked up last week at a nearby art store. I usually go for cheap CVS notebooks and don't have the need for much else. I took a chance on the Moleskine because it was on sale. Now a week later it feels too oily. Soap and water? I don't like the strings attached--or whatever you call the elastic band that keeps it shut. I am taking notes, writing down reminders, grocery lists, etcetera. I like it only because it fits in my pocket. I am not writing For Whom The Bell Tolls.
