Moleskine Classic Red Notebook, Ruled Pocket

I’ve been keeping some form of a journal since I was in the first grade. I have always loved to write. But my problem was sticking with the journal I was on. It was always to big or two small or the lines were to far apart or I had to use a specific pen etc. I’ve always been very particular about the little things. But that’s why the Moleskine is the perfect notebook, it satisfies the little things. It is small so I can take it everywhere. The smaller lines allow me to fit more on a page and they allow my small handwriting to fill up the page as well. I use Zebra F-301 Ball Point pen for the Moleskine, and they flow so well on the acid free paper. I love how compact and sleek it is. I love how the pages are thin but sturdy. I love how it looks when I flip though the used pages. I love how it has an elastic enclosure and a bookmark to mark my pages. I love the back pocket which is roomier then you would imagine. I keep a picture of my mother when she was close to my age in there. It serves as a reminder how I am to today, and where I could be in twenty years.

The expanding pocket is well-secured and can hold a surprising quantity of loose notes, receipts, business cards, etc. The books themselves are well constructed and durable; mine are exposed to hot, humid conditions and hold up to daily carry and use. The other reviewer pointed out the price: certainly these are not 79-cent Office Max specials, but for the serious writer, or a person who must record important information through the course of a day and retain it legibly for more than a week, the price is worth it. One hint to extend the capacity of your Moleskine: use the bound pages for things you want to permanently record, and keep Post-It notes inside the covers to jot down quick memoranda. I use the Post-Its for such things as the titles of books or movies I want to research. (Think of the Post-Its as expandable memory for your PDA!)

The service I received for receiving this product was very well. The product got to me in the amount of time they said they would and it was in the very best condition.

I love this notebook. I’ve dealt with all other kinds of pocket notebooks, all of which fold, deform, get pages easily folded over and ripped out and stained. The Moleskine is an elegant little solution that protects itself with a thin, unobtrusive cover and a small elastic strap which has avoided every other problem that’s plagued previous notebooks. On top of that, it has a small pocket in the back to hold business cards and such in, and a small cloth page marker so I can open it to the right spot and pick up writing where I left off. It’s all the little things, and the fact that it looks and feels so nice, that makes me love the Moleskine. In addition to that, once you buy into the whole backstory, it builds up a pleasant aura of quality and heritage that’s helped encourage me to write in it more often, just because it feels *right*. Evidently, it’s enough to make product evangelists out of all of us, isn’t it? :)

I like these notebooks very much. The cover is very sturdy and the pages have a nice weight to them. The size is perfect for your back pocket or jacket. I use these books to jot down notes from meetings with clients. The small pocket in the rear of the book is handy for storing business cards.
