Good looking and rugged notebook. Beats everything else [Posted on 2008-03-23] Rugged. Simple. A pocket in the back. This notebook is the best one I have ever owned. I keep lists for everything in my notebook - what I need to do, when I need to do it, personally and professionally. It's the perfect size for me. One thing to be aware of - the unlined notebook pages are really really thick. The lined notebook has thinner pages. They are still thick enough for me, but there is a difference. The lined pages may show really thick ink from the other side, but there is no bleed through, a good thing. I bought half a dozen of these.
Functional and Nice to Use [Posted on 2008-03-26] While on a East coast work assignment, I needed a pocket type notebook to take notes on my "off time/tourist time". The hardback moleskine was just the ticket. I'm a pencil writer and because of the hardback and the elastic band the pages do not run together and smudge. The small size was perfect for my small purse. The paper texture is just right and I can stash loose notes in the pocket.
Fast forward a couple weeks and my Franklin planner gave up the ghost. It was an easy choice to opt for the larger size diary. It looks sharp going into meetings -- a couple people have commented on it. Best yet, it is lighter than the Frankin and smaller (which is imporant when travelling and commuting), frees up space in my briefcase should I need to even bring it. And -- best of all, my diary pages will take up much less end of year space than those danged Fanklin archiv binders. In 09, I might opt for the pocket weekly planner to go with it. The space savings (in my line of work I must keep my daily schedules and diaries) will be fantastic.
Almost my best friend [Posted on 2008-04-09] Summary of my Moleskine experience:
I carry my Moleskine with me absolutely everywhere, and it's taken some abuse: it's been thrown in my backpack, dropped on the ground, stuck underneath heavy objects, dragged through the forest, tossed around by the wind, kicked across the room by a careless roommate, and endured countless other harsh conditions. It is certainly well-loved, and therefore has its share of battle scars.
But despite its well-worn appearance, it still invited this commentary:
Friend: "Is that a Moleskine?"
Me: "Yes."
Friend: "CLASSY!!"
Buy one. You will never want to put it down. You will find yourself panicking if you think for a moment you've misplaced it. It will become a little paper extension of your mind. Very useful, very functional, and VERY classy.
Best notebook ever [Posted on 2008-05-05] This notebook is compact, yet it allows you to carry receipts and papers from a days meeting inside and the elastic keeps the additional paper safe from falling out. It's very compact and not overly large for taking to meetings.
Nice design. Binding broke with two month's of use [Posted on 2008-06-29] Like so many reviewers, I was extremely happy to find this product. I needed durable notebooks. When I received the Moleskine Small Ruled Notebooks I was very pleased with the design, look, and feel. The paper quality is good. I find it easy to write in.
However, after just three months of use the binding began to break on one notebook. It pulled away from the spine and began to tear. Duct tape has saved it for now, but I am disappointed with the durability.
The notebook lives in my locker at the gym. The notebook it replaced had been living a similar life for about five years with no such problem (it was a log book designed for outdoor scientific observations, but I couldn't find a replacement on-line).
Perhaps I got a lemon, but I do know that the next time I visit a good University book store, I am going to seek out a quality lab notebook.
