Pennington-on-the-paper reviews the Moleskine Folio Notebook (A3).
The thing with Moleskine’s folio range is that most of it makes complete sense. Most artists want big sketchbooks as well as little ones, and big watercolour books as well as little ones. Most people can see the logic in a big set of memo pockets (in fact, what you’re meant to put in the tiny ones is kind of beyond me.) But an A3 notebook? Who writes on paper that size?
Well, I do. And I am completely and utterly thrilled, enamoured, in love with, overjoyed at the existence of the A3 notebook.
Portability seems to have colonised the modern consciousness. It is meant to be seen as natural and logical that at all times, we must be able to do all things, and that if we aren’t, we are either being deprived of something critical or we are in dangerous territory. What if we [...]

From An Inkophile’s Blog:
Serendipity. Now there’s a word you don’t hear often but it suits this occasion. Serendipity is defined as “The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.” Ink/pen/paper success is accomplished in exactly that manner. Today I got lucky.

Guys, all you are good at is scolding a cop,
Yes, some of your statements have meaning, indeed,
But words with no reasons won’t get you on top,

So over-inflated and false-emphasized,
You try to be brusque, and you merge with the crowd,
Your ego is [...]
