en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moleskine
Naturally, Wikipedia. Since recently it has become an indispensable source of various information about everything, including Moleskine. Comment is superfluous.
The official website of Moleskine producer. Here you can find the “official version” of the Moleskine’s legend and the stories of its famous owners and admirers written in nice manner, so that we recommend you to spend an hour and read those passages of Bruce Chatwin and Luis Sepúlveda and look through the reproductions of Moleskine notebooks which belonged to Apollinaire, Sartre, Pablo Picasso, and Gertrude Stein. Section “About Moleskine” can tell you about the films invovlving Moleskine notebooks and the latest news of Moleskine world.
Don’t pay attention to the main page of the website - that is very business-like and you don’t actually need it at all. You won’t order moleskines from the USA in case you can buy them in Ukraine, will you? You better go to «Explore Moleskine» section where you will find nice, romantic atmosphere, lots of touching, humorous, uncommon stories told by Moleskine admirers, and many bright pictures and photos. Also here you can find information about famous owners of Moleskine and citations of them dedicated to the notebooks.
There is a section dedicated to Moleskine notebooks at this rather nice website. There are a few articles and a set of useful links.
The website Moleskine|stories collects and presents limited print runs and customized editions of Moleskine products produced in collaboration with companies, institutions, and various cultural, entrepreneurial, and social initiatives.

The blog created by Patrick Ng, a photographer and designer. Many interesting, original photos and pictures, including the drawings in Moleskine notebooks. It’s worth looking and admiring.
There are Moleskines at blogpost.com also! Here the fans of folded Japanese sketchbooks comunicate and publish their drawings. The most popular way of using the album is to chronicle the trips abroad. Lots of exciting panoramas, voyages and whole stories at those long folded sheets.
community.livejournal.com/ru_moleskine
The community of Russian moleskiners. Plenty of pictures together with the place to speak, exchange the latest news and, perhaps, even to get acquainted and meet in real life to have a cup of coffe. Who knows, maybe one of the users is from your native city?
This website always gladdens me with uncommon, peculiar drawings, unconventional point of view, often supernatural items which seem to be coming from beyond. Unfortunately, moleskiners are not united into a group here, but you can search for “Moleskine” keyword and get more than 3,000 results. To my mind, the most exciting discoveries are waiting for you here, ’cause the website is in line with its name :)

Any website or blog can’t give you the full, exhaustive information about Moleskine. Why? The answer is: Moleskine is a legend, but living and agile legend. Every Moleskine owner has his (or her) own legend, love story (with Moleskine, I mean), unique detail to the bright portrait of our beloved notebook. It’s easy to get lost among all those websites and blogs, and the number of them is going up. So we can suggest you the resources which are, to our point of view, the most interesting, informative, and uncommon. And if you have something to add to our list, be free-spoken! We’re looking forward to your comments.
