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

I’m a first responder so these make my job easier. Great size and good sturdy material. Wish they were a bit cheaper but you honestly get what you pay for. Sturdy paper and the pen doesn’t bleed through the other side. Awesome notebook to have out on the field.

I work as a paramedic and like to keep a pocket notebook on my person for complicated calls, or calls where I have to take report such as ALS intercept or IFT. This notebook fits perfectly in my pocket and doesn't breakdown if I get sweaty or I'd it rubs in my pocket like cheaper pocket notebooks would. I also like that it folds up vs to the side because it's easier for me to hold that way. The paper does bleed through when using markers, of course, but I use whiteout strips to cover anything I need to remove before running over it with a marker to prevent that. I've ordered this twice so far (accidentally ran one through the wash) and I love it.

The wonderful thing about this basic notepad is that it comes with a rich cache of tradition -- this is the very same brand (well almost) of notepad used by such luminaries as Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso and famed British travel writer Bruce Chatwin. When I say it is "almost" the same brand, I'm acknowledging that there was a slight break in the chain of manufacture of this product. it was originally produced by a French firm back in the 19th Century -- it either went out of business, or they stopped producing this particular style of notepad. But the product was resurrected by a company in Milan -- but to make a long story short, it can be said that this item has a marvelous history and tradition behind it. It's also a practical item that does just what you want it to do -- it's a great notepad. The cover is hard, pressed cardboard. It has 192 interior pages that are lined, and of slightly off-white or ivory color. Very high quality, smooth paper. There are 24 pages that are perforated for easy tear-out if you want to detach a page. It also has an expandable little pouch in the back that offers some small storage of things like business cards, receipts or notes you might want to keep. I absolutely love this item. It brings with it a sense of tradition and connection to the past, while also being functional in the here and now. Writer's and artists will absolutely love this item -- would make a great gift for your artist or writer pals, or family members. I'll let me video speak for the rest of this review ...

I love this notebook and I'm sure you will too. The quality of the paper is excellent, I use a fountain pen and the ink does not bleed through and the cover is well made and sturdy. The little details make this worth every penny and then some. The band keeps your notebook tightly closed when tossing it in your briefcase, or on the seat of your car and also works well as a marker if you want to quickly refer to a particular page. Unless you write like crazy and use this pad to draft a novel, you will get plenty of good use out of it for a sufficient amount of time. Even then, the quality is such that you can keep it around so you can refer back to it, unlike cheap notebooks that end up in the trash. I find this reason enough to buy this product, other notebooks end up in the trash when full and along with it goes all my notes. When this is full, I can keep it around and refer back to important pages when needed. As for the price, for a luxury item that you can use and enjoy every day, $9.00 and change is more than a bargain. If the price really concerns you, I suggest try splurging that extra couple of dollars and see what pleasure it brings you.

A colleague of mine has used these for years, and I've always envied him. I bought these to replace the "green brain" soft-cover pocket notebooks of the US Gov't-issue variety. These are heaps better - because: - the hard cover allows you to write on both sides of both pages without having a hard surface available. - the elastic band allows you to find your place instantly or keep the book closed when you throw it in a pocket/bag/etc. My only complaint is the price - at $9-$10 a pop, they're not cheap for what will essentially be a throw-away notebook after I've used it. Having said that, the price isn't OUTRAGEOUS, and so the quality/features will likely continue to outweigh the price and I'll keep buying them!

Amazing notebook!! Perfect for to do lists and quick notes

Love this little notebook for many reasons, the top being I am a leftie and this notebook is top bound so there's no side spine interference. Love the line spacing as well.

Everyone loves Moleskine and they really are that great. I shoot music festivals and find them perfect for keeping track of important bits of paper, receipts, making shoot lists, keeping up with new contacts, jotting down quiet moments reflections. I love the reporter format, for years I struggled with "journals" not realizing I didn't like trying to write cramped up because of the way they lay out. The couple pages in the back that are meant to be torn out are a life saver. Moleskins are simply perfect, they've had the time put in the thought to make them the absolute travel companion. I can't imagine going anywhere important without one. They are my life and they hold up no matter what I put them through living it.

The best little notebook ever. Perfect gift.

Ein kleiner sehr praktischer Block mit Papiertasche hinten drin. Jede Idee, jeder Gedanke kann ganz schnell festgehalten werden. Denn Block und Stift passen in jede Tasche. So hilfreich, nichts geht verloren

Por su tamaño, la calidad del encuadernado y del papel, así como la orientación, este cuaderno de notas es el mejor para todo periodista que se precie. Lástima que ya es muy complicado adquirirlo en México. Recomiendo especialmente la versión de pastas duras.

Di difficile reperibilità nelle librerie e cartolerie, forse perché molto richiesto. Per tutto il resto, è una garanzia. Prezzo, ovunque, molto elevato. Non tutte le alternative sono allo stesso livello.

Plenamente satisfeito.
