I was browsing ThinkGeek last night and ran into the Moleskine notebooks. Apparently a little outfit in Italy has decided to turn out notebooks in a style common in Paris near the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century and which were allegedly used by the likes of Van Gogh, Wilde, Hemmingway, etc. Naturally they cost a fortune, at least for notebooks (go find the equivalent mini-notebooks at your local Target to the $6.99 ones listed at Thinkgeek and you'll see what I mean). Here's a good treatment of the whole phenomenon.
Personally, I'll stick to my college ruled Mead composition books for under $2 a pop and various generic storebought cheap booklets and notepads for writing on the go. When I'm not writing on a computer, as now, of course.
