Moleskine Classic Notebook, Hard Cover, Pocket (3.5" x 5.5") Ruled/Lined, Black, 192 Pages

Not much to say about these other than that they’re nice looking, good sturdy little notebooks. I’ve bought at least two of them on Amazon. I go through one of them journaling and whatnot every 6-10 months or so. And I’ll get me another one once my current notebook is almost filled

Perfect size. A man can slip it easily into his pants pocket. I carry it in a small purse. Nice and slim but lots of pages due to thin paper. No prob with bleed thru either with the ballpoint pen I use (a small one I keep in a Taxi wallet which I also carry in my purse). I carry my Moleskine Pocket Journal with me everywhere. I put a small date in the top corner of every page I start in this format: 4/14. Then, if I decide to record something I want to refer to later, I put the date and topic in a table of contents on the first page. Then I start keeping general notes at the other end of the journal to allow for expansion of the topic. I keep my credit cards and business cards in the pocket in the back. Now, about the issue of the spine. It's very sturdy but if you're worried, I recommend the Molecover(tm) made by the company with that name. Google it and have a look. I keep my Moleskine in one and they compliment each other in wonderful ways beyond description. Buttery soft leather, allows intended use of the journal's elastic closure band, thin so it doesn't hinder slipping in and out of a pocket. The Molecover has it's own pocket in which I put a few 3 x 5 index cards in case I want to jot something to be kept separately, e.g., a recipe or formula. I'm so happy with this system.-------------------------------------------------Update: It's now two years since I started using this lovely little journal and I have to say it's my favorite possession. No kidding, it means a lot to me. Boooo to those naysayers who write reviews saying Moleskines are not sturdy or that the paper is not high quality and bleeds through. Lies! The Moleskine journal wears better than iron and the pages do not bleed through if you use a ball point pen like I do. The paper is very high quality and always accepts the ink, better than Levenger paper which I also use for note cards.A pocket journal must stand up to a lot of abuse if carried every day like mine is. It goes everywhere with me and I write in it every day. Imagine this - I write in it every day and it took me two years to fill it. It's so thin I didn't expect this. I thought I would fill it in a few months. I ordered a set of 3 and have just started on my second one today. The first one still looks brand new except for the writing inside. The cover is still smooth black, in good shape, the rugged (sewn not glued) spline still perfectly binding the pages. It looks like it would last another 100 years carrying it every day. Honestly this pocket journal is a bargain considering what you get for your money. Buy it, you can't go wrong!

This is a good notebook. The cover is high quality and doesn’t break easily. It is very convenient with the bookmark, elastic thread, and the pocket. The only problem is the fact that for some thicker pens, it bleeds through. For the price of it, it is a tad bit disappointing. I would still say it is a good notebook and I would still recommend it.

I am an IT professional, and throughout the course of my day I am bombarded with technical information, numerical details, and tasks that need to be attended to. I am also required to record my work notes for invoicing purposes.Clearly, I need to keep written notes, or risk losing my mind. I'd previously used larger spiral-ring notebooks, but I had a habit of forgetting these and wasting time to backtrack and find my notes (lest billing time come around, and I find myself unable to tell the client what I was doing all week!).The primary appeal of this Moleskine notebook is its portability - it fits easily in my pants pocket, and its hard cover keeps the paper in good shape.The paper itself is of high quality, and feels good to write on. I've used this notebook every day for the past several months at work, and it has held up well. It is also suitable for the crude doodles that I occasionally produce when I'm bored at my desk.I am not a fan of the elastic band included on the cover, but this was easily snipped away with scissors. Of course, being a pocket-sized notebook, there is not a ton of width per page, and this requires a degree of brevity in my notes. I have been forced to write my notes a bit more concisely and have developed shorthand for common terms ("ø" means that I rebooted something, for example), but this is to be expected from a pocket notebook, and is not really an issue.Overall, I would highly recommend this notebook for any professionals who always seem to need to jot something down. Artists, dreamers, and creative types may want to opt for a larger Moleskine notebook.

I'd gift this to all new hires at work. It's an easy, professional place to jot down notes throughout the day and small enough to fit in your pocket and reference them when you need it.I've also used it for my personal note taking. I keep it in my purse for a "brain dump" when I get an idea or have a reminder for myself I want to circle back to.The binding is so sturdy you can bend it back and it won't crack.Pages won't fall out and Moleskin paper has great writability.Bookmark ribbon, to keep your place.
