Indispensible - By: Baz, 28 Feb 2008 
I originally bought the large ruled notebook, but found that the line spaces were a little on the narrow side for me. Having now got hold of the plain version, it's obvious that this is the one I should have boughtin the first place; I much prefer a blank space rather than blank lines. But each to their own.
Having used mine for a few weeks, I can find no fault with the classic Moleskine design or the quality of the workmanship. I like the off-white paper which is neither too thin or too thick. The overall size of this notebook - rather than the pocket version - is perfect, neither too large or too small. And there are enough pages to store my genius ideas or inane ramblings for a long time, if not years. If you tend to jot things down on scraps of paper, as I do, you can either stuff themin the expandable pocket at the back or between the pages - & the elastic keeper will prevent anything falling out. In short, it's a joy to own & use. I've seen other notebooks that might be 'finer' (and more expensive) but this is a supremely practical notebook designed for heavy, every day use by the thinkers of the species. And it's unlikely to fall apart after a couple of months as cheaper notebooks do. I wouldn't be without mine. Long live Moleskine.
Note: The Amazon description states that this notebook, & othersin the Moleskine range, are leather bound. Well, mine isn't. It's 'merely' hardback. But don't let that put you off. Personally, it makes no difference to me.
Take note - By: lifeclearout, 21 Feb 2008 You can buy cheaper notebooks, but these things are beautifully made & nice to hold. I like this version best - no lines or squares, just plain blank paper. I sometimes wonder how close exactly they are to the notebooks used by Hemingway etc etc. but even if they aren't exact replicas, they're very cool. The elastic strap & the pocket at the back are functional & stylish.
Neck tie. - By: J. Haines, 28 Jan 2007 An almost unbelievably simple method by which humanity can alleviate themselves & come to understand their thoughts. Diaries allow us to present our opinions, ideas, hopes, desires, affections, infatuations, dreams, beliefs, thoughts, & so much more. And what better diary than that which came to fame from usage by the likes of Hemmingway, Gogh, Picasso, Chatwin, & many others: Moleskin.
Beautiful presented, extravagant to the touch, the Moleskin diary is the perfect accompaniment to any walk of life. Be it a means of recording incessant reminders, troubling thoughts or presenting beliefs, it solves every purpose. It is perfectly presented and, as such, far surpasses other contenders.
