The service I received for receiving this product was very well. The product got to me in the amount of time they said they would and it was in the very best condition.
Best little notebooks in the world 2008-01-17
I love these notebooks! I have them in all sizes, and I also use the Moleskine datebook. I really like the quality of the notebooks. The small ones fit anywhere, even into a pocket, and if you take a lot of notes, you can always keep one on you. I like the elastic band that goes around the notebook; it helps to keep loose papers secure. Great product.
Quality 2008-01-07
This is a great notebook. I got this for my brother after a suggestion from a gift ideas post on National Review. Great item.
Makes a perfect gift too 2007-12-04
I (and a few people I know) are suckers for exceptional paper and writing instruments. And this one makes it to amongst the top few must haves.
Its small enough to fit in pocket. The paper is a pleasure to write on specially with fountain pen. The cover band is an all time classics which give this notebook a rather signature look. The book cover give a very leather-ish and luxurious feel.
I am considering to buy the city versions as well.
Nothing comes close to my Moleskine 2007-08-23
This pocket-size notebook is a joy. The paper is high quality and pleasant to write on. Because the ink doesn't bleed or show through, you can write on both sides (a big advantage over spiral notebooks). There's a ribbon placeholder which comes in handy, and a little pocket in back for business cards and random pieces of paper. And, to tie it all together, an elastic band that slips on and off with ease. At the current price, the Moleskine is a fantastic bargain, too.
It was meant to be... 2008-07-19
I've been keeping some form of a journal since I was in the first grade. I have always loved to write. But my problem was sticking with the journal I was on. It was always to big or two small or the lines were to far apart or I had to use a specific pen etc. I've always been very particular about the little things.
But that's why the Moleskine is the perfect notebook, it satisfies the little things. It is small so I can take it everywhere. The smaller lines allow me to fit more on a page and they allow my small handwriting to fill up the page as well. I use Zebra F-301 Ball Point pen for the Moleskine, and they flow so well on the acid free paper.
I love how compact and sleek it is. I love how the pages are thin but sturdy. I love how it looks when I flip though the used pages. I love how it has an elastic enclosure and a bookmark to mark my pages. I love the back pocket which is roomier then you would imagine. I keep a picture of my mother when she was close to my age in there. It serves as a reminder how I am to today, and where I could be in twenty years. The notebook is something that I can look back on and remember my time and my life as it once was.
Again, it's the little things that get me excited. And this little black notebook has won my heart and my pen. I love it. It's something you have to try for yourself. There are three difficulties when it comes to Moleskine. The first is actually purchasing the notebook. I'm eighteen years old, I use three at a time. They aren't cheap, but they are well worth it. The second is breaking it in. The first word is always very daunting because it looks to perfect to taint. But once you have passed the second hurdle, the hardest one comes, putting it down. I carry mine everywhere. It very bittersweet when you finish one.
When you write in a Moleskine, you feel like a writer. Buy one and try it out, you know you want to.
Honestly the best notebook there is. 2008-05-29
Okay, I'll bite.
What I' m about to relate is gushing praise, but I assure it's 100% true and not mere sarcasm: This is the best collection of unmarked pages between two covers that you will ever own. I've used a moleskine notebook as a day planner every year since 2004. I honestly don't know what I'd do without it. Can you get by with something else? Sure. And I have to say that I've found some el-cheapo Mead products that'll get the job done in a pinch, but honestly, there's nothing like this litte notebook. Ruled pages, hard cover, bookmark, inside pocket, they thought of everything and even managed to make it small and aesthetically pleasing. Truely, this is the iPhone of notebooks. It's ten bucks. Just get one, try it out, thank me later.
Best Notebook Ever 2008-04-06
I don't know that you could ask for more from a notebook but this has been the ultimate travel tool, body armor, brain dump, artistic escape, GTD list, shopping list, map holder, goal saver, love maker, and Thetan blocker that I could have ever asked for.
To India and Back 2008-03-16
I diligently tried to go digital with a few different PDA's including my Blackberry, but I kept coming back to pen and paper. Paper doesn't "crash", it can't be hacked, copied or get infected with a virus. I filled a few "Black and Red" brand notebooks, and while they are high quality they are a little big (8.5 x 11).
This one is small enough that I can put it in my back pocket (jeans or dress pants). The spine has a little give even though its a hard cover and I can sit on it and it isn't too uncomfortable... your butt gets used to it. Very durable. I use it for all my my notes at work (I'm an executive at a fortune 200 company), and the little pocket in the back cover is perfect for business cards. All of my business notes are in the front and I start from the back for personal lists and notes that I want to keep. That way, no matter where I am, I've got my personal and business stuff handy.
I've filled three of them so for. On my last one, the spine split during a three week trip to India, but none of the pages fell out. It took a pretty good beating and it even accompanied me on an elephant ride. A few people made comments that you can't use gel type ink pens because the ink smears when you close the book. Didn't find that to be much of a problem.
I'll never go back to a full size notebook and I'm hooked on this durable little guy!
The superior traveler's notebook 
2008-02-11
There is not a thing I can add which hasn't already been said. My experience is that they hold up better than anything else I've tried. I left a star off on the rating because as some have mentioned, if you write on both sides of the pages, these is a slight bleed through. Otherwise perfect for on-the-go note recording!
