Moleskine Classic Ruled Paper Notebook - Hard Cover and Elastic ClosureJournal, Black, Pocket 9 x 14 A6, 192 Pages

Quality note pad

I wanted a notebook this size and I knew moleskine were a good brand, so I decided to take the plunge and buy one of these and I have to say they are incredible. The cover feels firm and really really fantastic quality, and it's strength and firmness allow you to take notes easily in the air without having to put your notebook down on a table. The paper itself is also of a much higher quality than normal paper, as you would expect from moleskine. It's smooth, almost silky and almost cream in colour. As for the detachable pages, they are brilliant as well. Instead of having to rip out pages and ruining your notebook they are perforated, and not in the awful tear-up your whole book kind of perforated. Overall I would thoroughly reccomend this notebook, it's good quality, functional and long lasting (i've had mine for about 4 months now, still holding up great). KLK Also, the elastic band doesn't become loose or fray after long term use, it stays just as elastic as it was the day I bought it!

Oh this is nice. I’ve bought Moleskine books for years despite not being 100% sure how to pronounce it. They hold together very well.....mine is in and out of my pocket all day....and are nice to write in. They look the part too. I regularly have to stand in front of customers and give them information. It looks so much more professional when that’s presented to them from notes written in something like this compared to the notes scribbled on bits of paper.

Perfect size and well constructed so it doesn't fall apart before you have used all the pages. Good quality paper too so ink doesn't bleed. Cheaper ones may be ok for shopping lists, but these are just the ticket for planning and important notes.

Would I Recommend: Yes Would I Buy Again: Yes, if wanted that size and orientation (portrait) Brief: This is hard backed and fronted pocket sized reporter style i.e. flips up (also a bit like what the police have) notebook by the renowned notebook makers Moleskine. It is lined and its in the normal portrait orientation. I bought it for note taking while out and about as I generally have a notebook with me for business and for jotting down creative ideas/ to do's etc. I have dropped this from my daily use although it is a very good notebook, mostly due to the fact I like to be able to rip pages out and this is string bound at the top and makes that difficult. It is bigger than the police style pads and so is bigger than Im used to but I really do like this notebook and would recommend it for someone who likes quality. Obviously it takes a pencil well and does okay with a pilot G2 0.7 and my Lamy Safari Medium Fountain Pen with minimal leakage through the page. Pros: Good size, hard backed, good quality cover and bindings, plenty of pages and good page quality. Cons: Non really other than for personal reasons, I would like to see a landscape version (there may be one!) and the pages don't tear out easily.

I use one every year, filling it up with daily tasks/notes. These are fantastic. - Hold up well to daily use - Survive in a back pocket b/c of the hard cover - The top fold allows for more room in the margins. I've tried field notes, smaller moleskines, calendars, etc. This is my preferred method.

These notebooks are excellent. They are high-quality and easy to use, with good rigid covers which make writing without a table to lean on easy. The cover is 'leather-look' and as such somewhat showerproof, which is useful for outdoor use; 'the elastic loop can act as a page-marker. I always use this typeof notebook for birdwatching notes.

A very handy little notepad which I use for my weekly shopping lists.

The best little notebook ever. Perfect gift.

Ein kleiner sehr praktischer Block mit Papiertasche hinten drin. Jede Idee, jeder Gedanke kann ganz schnell festgehalten werden. Denn Block und Stift passen in jede Tasche. So hilfreich, nichts geht verloren

Di difficile reperibilità nelle librerie e cartolerie, forse perché molto richiesto. Per tutto il resto, è una garanzia. Prezzo, ovunque, molto elevato. Non tutte le alternative sono allo stesso livello.

Plenamente satisfeito.

The wonderful thing about this basic notepad is that it comes with a rich cache of tradition -- this is the very same brand (well almost) of notepad used by such luminaries as Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso and famed British travel writer Bruce Chatwin. When I say it is "almost" the same brand, I'm acknowledging that there was a slight break in the chain of manufacture of this product. it was originally produced by a French firm back in the 19th Century -- it either went out of business, or they stopped producing this particular style of notepad. But the product was resurrected by a company in Milan -- but to make a long story short, it can be said that this item has a marvelous history and tradition behind it. It's also a practical item that does just what you want it to do -- it's a great notepad. The cover is hard, pressed cardboard. It has 192 interior pages that are lined, and of slightly off-white or ivory color. Very high quality, smooth paper. There are 24 pages that are perforated for easy tear-out if you want to detach a page. It also has an expandable little pouch in the back that offers some small storage of things like business cards, receipts or notes you might want to keep. I absolutely love this item. It brings with it a sense of tradition and connection to the past, while also being functional in the here and now. Writer's and artists will absolutely love this item -- would make a great gift for your artist or writer pals, or family members. I'll let me video speak for the rest of this review ...
