Souvenir MOXA museum wirebound notepads and notebook spotlight

Finally got around photographing some of notebooks I picked up on my last trip to Peru. While I found these MOXA wirebound notebooks at the gift shop of the Museo Tumbas Reales de Sipan, you are bound to come across them at any museum gift shop and specialty library while traveling through the archeological sites and visiting museums in Peru.
Notepad covers.
A few interior pages.
Mochica and Nasca bird motives side by side.

Postcards set.
Picked this MOXA Moche Notebook at the museum shop of the Museo Nacional de Arqueología, Antropología e Historia del Perú.
Brief historical summary of the Moche culture on the introductory page.
A few interior pages.
Would make a wonderful creative sketchbook.
I prefer to keep it in pristine condition to keep using it as reference, but the bond paper certainly feels quite smooth and should work well with high quality smooth graphite pencils and gel pens. Probably wouldn't use fountain pens on it since the pages are quite thin and would likely bleed through.
