Journaling Arts seems to be one of the first sites stocking the new 12-color box set Moleskine Diary, one of the new Moleskine products introduced this year.

I saw these displayed at the Book Expo show a few weeks ago, and it looks like a really nice product. I love the chunky binder, the 12 colors are beautiful, and the stickers make it flexible and easy to use.
If there is any downside, it’s the way they made the cover– it provides only a 3-side wrap-around. I thought that could get a bit loose and messy, as a single strip of elastic didn’t seem like it would hold things together well enough. I would have preferred it to be more like one of those magazine storage boxes, with a solid bottom. Also, I don’t see why they decided to change the inside pocket, which has moved to the front, and opens from the top– very odd.
Having separate books for each month’s planner won’t work for the way many people organize their lives. But for me, I think it will be handy as a diary, as I tend to just record things like food and exercise and use an electronic calendar for keeping track of future appointments. At $34.99 suggested retail, this is pushing it a bit in terms of price, but I’m sure I’ll end up buying one anyway!
