The Soft Cover
Large Ruled Moleskine notebook has a flexible, yet sturdy cover that adapts
to the movements of the body and fits comfortably in any pocket. This is a
reliable travel companion, perfect for writings, thoughts and passing notes.
Every Moleskine product is thread bound and has a soft cover with rounded
corners, acid free paper, a bookmark, an elastic closure and an expandable
inner pocket that contains the Moleskine history.
I highly recommend bringing a travel journal with you,
so you can jot down your memories as you travel. This is similar to the kind
I bring, but use whatever you like the best.

Excerpt from back of book:
"Many thousands of independent, adventurous
Americans travel for extended periods in foreign lands every year. On
journeys counted in week and months, the modern explorers seek to discover and
desire to be amazed, following itineraries shaped more by imagination than
geography. Most travel on a budget; all travel simply. For these
people, the desire for freedom and experience is too potent to ignore. "
