Melville House Books

As someone who works in publishing, I, like all of you readers, find myself going through multiple books a week, whether for business or pleasure.  I’m one of those people that lives in a small New York apartment and still manages to fit into it 6 bookcases.  In fact, if we removed our giant wall bookcase from the living room, we could probably be proud owners of a dining room table.  But alas, we’re book people.  We have a lot of books and we read a lot of books.

Unfortunately, I’m also one of those people with no short term memory.  Ask me where I last left my cell phone or my coffee mug, and I’m at a loss.  And, finally, I’m a Moleskine freak.  It started in high school and I never got over it, so I just deal and pay for those cute overpriced notebooks and pretend I can’t scribble in anything else.

Then I stumbled across their new PASSIONS series (warning, this is about to sound like a sponsored post, but I swear its not!).  YUM. They have everything I need to keep my mind straight.  Recipe journals, wine journals, film journals, music journals… so yes, of course they have book journals!  I placed an order asap.  But not only do they have journals… they have trailers for the journals.  So in the spirit of the upcoming Moby Awards, I present to you the book trailer for the book journal:
