This notebook feels great and looks good too. The cover on mine is a wonderful forest-green. The paper inside is cream, nice and smooth, and thick enough to feel good quality. The little ribbon is great for keeping track of the page you've reached.The lines on the paper are quite small, so if you have large handwriting this may be an issue for you. I find the size encourages me to write more neatly, though.If you are European, please note that this book is slightly smaller than A4 size, therefore you won't be able to stick printed sheets etc. in to it as easily.The paper accepts ink very well, and a fountain-pen writes beautifully on it. If you write with a fountain-pen, be sure to exercise some caution,

I am an English Language student and I feel naked without a good journal or writing pad to my side. Previously I have found Pukka Pad writing pads and journals to be quite good.Moleskine appear to be very well praised for their journals- I am happy with this product.Arrived in two days.The Moleskine I received is not what appears in the product picture which looks as if it has some light coloured pattern, but rather it is plain black with a subtly leather look and feel. I prefer blank pages, and especially creamy coloured blank pages.I am using either a ball point Parker pen or a Uniball Jetstream 0.7. The paper is smooth to write on (considering you also have a good pen,

I have had a paperblank notebook and I thought I would try a different brand to see what is was like.I have two paperblanks, one small which I use a lot and carry around with me. The other bigger which I leave at home. The small one has got a bit battered, and the cover has come off from the notebook itself (this is wear and tear). The big one is looking still neat at home on the bookshelf.Now lets talk about size and paper quality-The same size notebook from Moleskine and Paperblanks are different. The depth of the moleskine is much less than that of a paperblank, PLUS it has more pages. I guess this additional thickness comes from the cover. The Moleskin hard cover looks pretty good and sturdy,

There's something deliciously decadent about shelling out this much cash for a simple notebook. In truth, unless your livelihood depends on being able to jot down notes on high quality paper, you can easily get away with a much cheaper alternative to the Moleskine brand. Heck. I even bought a Moleskine clone from Asda not so long ago. It was much the same size, had the same hard cover, the same expandable back pocket*, the same elastic band and ribbon page-marker. Even the paper had that rich creamy yellow colour and seemed to be just as "all that" as Moleskine's acid resistant product. And all for less than a couple of quid. Makes buying a real Moleskine a bit silly doesn't it? But then, Asda...

So many Moleskines, so many reviews... Why do people get so excited about a notebook? The prices here on Amazon are unbeatable and so that's always a good starting point but you may still think they're expensive despite that. This is a premium product though, it looks and feels expensive. Colleagues glance covetously at it and surely that's enough reason to have one?This squared variety is my second Moleskine (the first was the lined variety) but after living for just a month with this beauty, I already know my third will also be a squared one. There are more 'lines' per page than the, um, lined one and I like the ease with which you can turn the book 90 degrees and the format makes it comfortable to write in a straight line!

The Moleskine plain notebooks have great quality paper. I use a fountain pen and I find the paper really smooth to write on - I personally haven't experienced the feathering effect you sometimes get with poor quality paper, where the ink spreads out uncontrollably, and I find the ink dries quickly. Because the paper is so thin I can see my writing on the other side, but I can still use the other side and read both sides of what I've written clearly. I like the plain pages as I can use it to do quick sketches and diagrams, or turn it on its side and use it in landscape. The small document pouch in the back cover is useful and the elastic closure means I can slot in more lose papers and feel

The usual high quality you would expect from Moleskine. As the pages are quite thin (I like this as it packs more pages into a smaller package), your average Biro will be preferable over a fountain pen, or even a Moleskine pen which I find ghosts slightly onto the next page. The pages are 'natural' rather than white, and are narrow ruled, making this a very comfortable notebook to write in. There is a strong elastic closure around the notebook and a ribbon inside to maintain the page. A cardboard wallet on the back inside cover is ideal for keeping loose sheets. The initial cover page features a section for you to write your contact details and propose a reward in case the notebook is lost.

For just over £6, these A6 notepads are quite expensive and hard to justify a purchase when there are substitutes available which look and feel VERY similar to this - but are cheaper. However, there is just something about Moleskine notepads which hooks me in. Once I made the initial plunge and bought an A5 Moleskine, I never looked back - and couldn't help but purchase this little notebook.My intention was to keep this in one of my pockets (either on my legs or in my jacket) so that it's easily accessible whenever a bright idea pops into mind. For that purpose, and jotting down little things which you might forget, it's really useful. There's something about having a dedicated 'space'

Moleskine- the book of artists, philosophers and writers. Small and practical, with enough space for your wildest thoughts. Poetry aside, here's my review. I do like the size of the book, it's small enough to slip in my bag, and the elastic loop keeps the pages of the book together in the ebb and flow of detritus that is my bag. The book marker is practical, because I can mark pages wherever I need to. I bought the quadrilled version (the grid like squares on the pages) because I find that they force me to write more legibly. I dig it. There's a small paper pouch to the back where you can put things like receipts or little keepsakes that you tend to gather to you on holiday.My only drawback is that I wish the paper was a bit thicker.

This Moleskine hardback large lined notebook is excellent!!I think I paid £9-50 from Amazon and it was delivered by royal mail in good packaging.What other reviewers have perhaps missed is that the dimentions of this notebook are very well thought out, in that you can hold the book open easily. I discovered that if you open the front cover you can hold it bettween the spine and the side edge in your left hand.Though i suppose it depends on the size of your hands.The pages are fairly thin but very good quality and bound exceptionally well.The paper lends itself to be written on and the whole feel of the product exudes quality.It might seem alot of money for a notebook but its something that you will perhaps have for a very long time and it really is quality.Get one,

The Moleskine Plain Pocket Notebook is a lovely little thing, you can jot down any small notes or doodles that you want and have the convenience of putting it into a coat pocket - like I have done in the past when using it. Lots of pages inside of it, and they are of a cream off-white colour which adds a little something to it.Not only this, there is a long piece of ribbon attached to the spine that acts as a bookmark; very handy for when you want to flick back to a specific page. Moleskine notebooks (this one included) also have a handy pocket glued to the back, ideal for loose papers that you wish to keep.Do not expect the pages to take any kind of ink well,

I gave in to the temptation to buy this because so many other writer friends raved on about them. I suppose I had to find out for myself what was so brilliant. I was not looking for something that would become a family heirloom, to me it is simply a tool which I can use on-the-go for recording notes, snippets and ideas for future stories or current work in progress. Essentially, what I've discovered so far is that the product does exactly what it says on the tin: lays flat, I can write edge to edge, it has a wonderful concertina pocket at the back of the book, the binding is vey good quality and overall it is aesthetically very appealing.

I bought this notebook with an aim to open a new chapter of my life, A chapter in which I don't forget things :)This little gem holds all my ideas, contacts and more ideas, Arrived next day and was absolutely astounded by the quality.Once you get yours you will know what i'm talking about. After a long time user of cheapo notebooks I heard about Moleskine and how durable and neat they are. I must say I wasn't disappointed. Once I opened it up I instantly reveled in the build quality. Its solid yet flexible :)If your planning on writing anything from simple notes to entire stories, ideas and wonders I would recommend this to anyone wishing to do so.I would also recommend you look into how to organize such a beautiful notebook.

I'm a sales engineer, so use these booklets to keep notes of customers and their factory systems which are and will be, useful to me. I personally prefer the palin notebook but there are lined books available. These notes are then electronically archived, but recent territory changes included some old customers, so I was able to dig out my old notes from previous books going back some years, thus preventing wasting customer's and my time revisiting old ground. The pocket at the back of the book also allows some technical info to be carried around in a handy inside suit pocket sized notebook that looks professional. Many others have tried to copy the format which is flattery itself but none surpass.
