Moleskine Classic Plain Paper Notebook, Hard Cover and Elastic Closure Journal, Color Sapphire Blue, Size Pocket 9 x 14 cm, 192 Pages

I’m a long-term devotee of Moleskin products … and this was the latest … a notebook to be colour-coded to a car brand that I wanted to keep notes on!

These little note books are classic, timeless and beautiful to look at and use. I’ve bought these time and again over the years as I like quality, and always feel confident knowing the paper will never let me down. Subliminally, I also feel good when using these wonderful notebooks. Somehow the whole tactile experience is just a sheer joy to experience, time and time again.

Why buy any other journal.This was as a parting gift for my grandson off in his travels again. It’s become a tradition now.New journey, new journal.This time in Green.

My husband loves the quality of Moleskin notebooks and I buy from Amazon every year for Christmas. Great quality, and cheapest available are on Amazon.

I like Moleskine notebooks because they do feel like you get a good quality book for the price. This is fortunate, because they're quite expensive!The books are well made and have both an elastic strap to keep them closed, and a page marker ribbon. There is also a small puch at the back of the book for tickets/loose papers etc.It's quite interesting to read the history of the book inside each cover as well - you're definitely in good literary company when using one of these.Overall if you know you need to take notes on the go and prefer the look and feel of a paper notebook compared to a phone/tablet then this is definitely the one to buy.

carry one 24/7 fifty two weeks of the year works well in the pocket, wears well though on a couple of occasions i've had to duck tape the spine as the book aged in the pocket (transparent tape of course). Paper is fine unless you wish to draw after inked script on the previous page, but i find no problem missing the odd page. Writing script on both sides in ink i find both easily decipherable but i write in a ink drawing pen0.3mm. I find the compromise to be about just perfect for any heavier paper and you have either a book with too few pages or a much heavier/awkward tome. As with all such journals after a while the elastic can get a little slack. The pocket in the rear is magic and pieces of paper, cards etc can be slipped in there or between the pages held in place by the elastic. It lies easily in the pocket and as an information storage /retrieval device second to none good tool and its linear too collects your life for sorting latergood compromise only possible improvement would be the rounding of the corners on the spine to equal the outside corners

That is all.

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' where you can just throw your ideas down which makes them flow a little easier than if you're throwing it into the back of a multi-purpose book.But yeah. It's expensive. But it is high-quality stuff. For a student, I think something like this is invaluable to have around. 5/5 would recommend.One little note: the pages are NOT lined.
