MAP QUEST

Fancy yourself a bit of a Eugene Fodor? Go on, toss the guidebook in the Thames and write your own instead.

A city atlas and journal in one, the Moleskine City Guides feature metro maps and a tabbed index, plus plenty of blank sheets for sketching and scribbles.

We love those translucent overlays for the maps – very handy for plotting retail pauses round the Rive Gauche.

Globetrotters can pick-up Paris, London, New York, and most other major European and U.S. capitals. Montreal, Miami, Los Angeles and Chicago to come.
