Moleskine Classic Notebook, Notebook With Ruled Pages, Soft Cover and Elastic Closure, Black, Pocket, 9 x 14 cm, 192 Pages

Great quality as usual from Moleskin!

Writing long hand is a dying art in the age of smartphones, tablets and computers. For those who like to carry a notebook to capture thoughts, ideas, poems or notes, the Moleskine Soft Cover is just the right size to fit in any bag, and the sheen of the acid free paper just loves being written on. I keep my pen in the notebook, which is held in place by the elastic closure, so I am always ready to write when the mood takes me.

I have used these notebooks for many years now and have found them to be indispensible. This particular one is the soft cover version, though you can get it in the same size as a hard cover depending whether you are going to put it in your pocket or bag. The corners are curved, so they shouldn't catch on anything. There is an attached thin fabric bookmark so that you can keep your page, an attached elastic strap for keeping the notebook together and there are 23 lines on each of the 192 pages. The cover is black imitation leather and looks more professional than those cheapy notebooks that you can get at your local supermarket. There is a little pocket inside the back cover that is big enough to fit a credit card or train ticket. A very useful notebook for shopping lists or jotting down ideas for your next novel.

Best quality, robust, no bleed thru of ink.

Good combination of size, sturdy to write in and retains its pages well so they are not lost, damaged or jumbled. There are more affordable alternatives, but they do not fit my requirements so well.

For me this is the classic Moleskin notebook - excellent quality soft cover and ruled pages.

For a notebook, Moleskins are perhaps on the expensive side. But having used mine for a couple of weeks now, i'd be unhappy to regress to a lesser brand. Durable and professional, the perfect size for ones pocket and a joy to write in. It's difficult to find fault in this product. The postal delivery was very quick too. Ordered on the sunday, arrived on the tuesday,(free delivery option). Also, never being in when the post arrives it was a delight to find that it actually fitted through the letterbox! Which the same can't be said for equally small items I have ordered through amazon...

I have a thing for notebooks, I wouldn't call it a problem per say but, anyway - tis well made and what one would expect at this price point. I do like them a little too much.
