5 Stars This Company Knows Decadence
An absolutely over the top notebook…..that I absolutely love! I feel smarter when I use it!
Worth every penny and the quality is top notch.
4 Stars Super thick hardback.
I really like the idea of the Moleskine, especially the elastic band closure and pocket, but while this is indeed a pocket sized notebook, it’s impractical to keep in your pocket because if the hard cover.
As the real estate in my front pockets is taken up by keychain, cellphone, and sometimes change and pens, and my right back pocket holds my wallet, I would need the Moleskine to go in the back left pocket, but if I were to sit on anything harder than a couch, the cardboard would bend and warp. I haven’t tried the soft-cover moleskine, as the reviews seem to indicate the glue comes undone quite easily. I’ve been buying the pocket sized MEMO pads (around 99 cents a pop) and they serve the exact same function I desired, and are less intrusive in my back pocket than a wallet, and they’re not ruined by being sat on. It’s not as classy looking, but it gets the job done.
All that aside, if you live in an area where you wear a coat with an interior breast pocket, or can keep it in your purse, it’s nice and sturdy and should last you a long time. My caveat is that it looks so nice I’m loathe to write down more disposable “notes to self”, grocery lists, etc, whereas I have no problems writing that sort of thing in a MEMO pad and ripping the page out when I’m done with it.
5 Stars Great pocket companion for capturing notes, thoughts, ideas
I am a pretty big fan of all of Moleskine’s products. This is a great notebook to keep handy in a pocket or purse for jotting ideas, capturing thoughts, or managing todo lists. Paper quality is excellent, and the cover is very durable. The elastic band, ribbon marker, and back pocket are all very useful. It is hands-down my favorite all-around notebook.
The only downside is that it might be a bit bulky for some front pants pockets. I use a front pocket wallet, and it’s tough to fit both the notebook and my wallet in one pocket. That being said, I do think they hit a sweet spot here in terms of size. It is small enough to fit in almost any jeans, trouser, or jacket pocket (in even fits in my shirt pocket), but it’s still large enough to do some serious writing/brainstorming, or even sketching. Consider using a full two page spread as one “page” if you need more room.
It’s true that there’s a lot of unneeded hype (encouraged by parent company Modo e Modo) surrounding the history of the notebook, but in my opinion the quality of paper and construction is unsurpassed, and definitely makes this product worth the price.
Overall, I love this notebook…I’ve bought many over the years, and I will probably continue to buy them for a long time to come.
4 Stars NIce little notebook
Great for haiku. I would love if it could hold a pen or pencil on it.
5 Stars A log for the truck
I bought this as a surprise for my husband to use in his new truck. He is meticulous in keeping a log of everything that concerns his vehicles. After reading the reviews, I thought this would be perfect for his use, and it has proved to be just the right size to go in the glove box as well as being sturdy with strong binding and tough pages.
