They come in great designs and a bunch of sizes. I love them so much that they made my list of top ten finds for 2015. Decomposition Books- I am absolutely committed to these notebooks, made in the US out of recycled paper and soy ink. Even better, I can find ones that use recycled materials and safe inks too. I will buy notebooks that are actually made in America. They are just another piece of junk- their low quality is not a fluke or a sign of their heavy use.Īny prestige is totally fake, and we can put our American brains down on much more ethical and American paper. Shorter version of this? All of these notebooks are imported from China, just like every piece of junk at Walmart those same guys would turn their noses up at. This brand is all about surface and self-perception. Moleskine, it turns out, is not about quality and American intellectual masculinity (why did I think they were cool? Poor 23 year old Barbara), These notebooks are about as special and lovingly made as any Composition Book. I still keep notebooks, but I will happily skip the Moleskine.
They seem like the kind of notebook you put your notes and ideas into if your thoughts are worth keeping forever, and I kept a tiny one in my purse all the time in case I had a brilliant dissertation-related thought. You could totally imagine something brilliant being scribbled in, and they seemed to promise a kind of tough but lasting American thought. Of course, at the time, I thought they were pretty cool. Hipsters only love this kind of thing, because they aren't really paying any more attention than anybody else.
When I was in grad school, I could not avoid some haughty Stanford guy writing notes in his little notebook. Oh Moleskine notebooks, accessory for doushey guys all the way back to Ernest Hemmingway.
