MoleskineClassic Notebook, Hard Cover, Pocket (3.5" x 5.5") Ruled/Lined, Black, 192 PagesThe Forest Stewardship Council

Been journaling for years and this size is perfect for travel. Exterior material is durable. Love the ribbon place marker. Lines and back pocket are always useful. Can be pricey but worth it.

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!

Inside, the paper falls on the lighter side weighing in at 70 grams per square meter: suitable for dry writing utensils such as pencils or ballpoint gel pens. Using fountain ink pens results in slight see-through, but not enough to hinder writing on both sides of the page.Compared to other similar products the Moleskine pocket notebook provides solid value at a sensible price of $10.

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.
