Whether I’m jotting down meeting notes, household tasks, or important conversations about my kids, everything stays neat and structured.📏 Lays Flat for Easy WritingOne of my favorite features is that it lays completely flat, making it easy to write across both pages without constantly adjusting it. This is especially useful when taking quick notes throughout the day.✍ Smooth, High-Quality PaperThe paper is thick and smooth, preventing ink from bleeding through. I use pens, highlighters, and markers, and everything writes cleanly with no smudging.📚 Plenty of Pages & Thoughtful FeaturesWith a generous page count, I don’t have to worry about running out of space quickly. The bookmark ribbon helps me keep my place, and the elastic closure keeps everything secure.💰 Great Value for MoneyFor the quality, design, and functionality, these journals are worth every penny!

The elegant design, smooth paper, and thoughtful layout make it perfect for both work and personal use. Highly recommend!

I have had the small, soft cover notebook for quite awhile now. I love it for jotting down quick notes on anything that catches my fancy. Mine is pretty beat up looking now, but the only actual fault that I have identified is that the back cover pocket has split open, so nothing can be held in there.Other than that, the binding is still strong, and I have opened it flat many times, the elastic band is still attached and strong, and the bookmark is still in place. I believe this notebook will continue to hold up for as long as I have pages in it to fill. The soft cover is quite nice, and allows me to easily slip the book into a pocket, even if I have to bend is slightly to fit. It also fits nicely into my backpack, which has several small pockets ideal for books this size.The paper can bleed if using a fountain pen with a medium to wide nib, especially if the flow is high, but gel, ballpoint, and pens of that type do not seem to bleed through, though if you hold the paper up you can identify markings on the other side of the page. The paper holds up well, but with my small handwriting I could have liked a tighter ruling to get more use out of the page.

Lovely. cAreful not to get addicted! LOL

This is my favorite notebook. It's small enough to fit in my back pocket and large enough to take notes in. It's has a soft cover so it bends in whatever pocket I put it in (especially my pant's back pocket). It has a ribbon as a bookmark so you can quickly open it to your last entry. The elastic band is great for holding the notebook closed, especially if you have other papers tucked inside (like business cards, receipts, etc).I use it for recording training notes, meeting notes, writing ideas, and to capture information I'll use later. I've carried one of these notebooks for years and have about a dozen filled notebooks. A couple of recommendations when using this notebook: Use permanent ink, not gel pens. If the paper gets wet gel-ink will run and be illegible. I found this out when my notebook spent the night in the snow - ick. Also, the pocket in the back of the notebook will eventually wear and open (the bottom at the outside edge of the cover). I've had to put tape on most of the notebooks I used because I carried them in my pants pocket. The edge wears.It makes a great birthday present too!

I use these for work. I serve and the back little pocket is great for storing credit card receipts. Also, the string book mark is an amazing touch. Have been using these slightly overpriced notebooks for going on 10 years now and I am happy that I found them on Amazon for about half what I was paying at retail stores like Target.

The notebook is very good. I use it to take notes, it can bend in order to have more stability. However, the paper is a bit too thin to my liking, you can slightly see the writing on the other page.

Before paying the brand premium for this notebook, I tried another off-brand one and was disappointed by how thick and hard it was. But this Moleskine is great! As a daily carry for someone who needs to reference older notes than, say, a Field Notes can hold, it benefits from a few important features:- It's as thin as the Papermate Ink Joy pen I carry with it.- It's flexible enough to curve around my leg when in a front pocket.- Its leather-like cover handles normal wear and is flush with the page edges (meaning it doesn't catch on stuff when pocketing).- Its woven bookmark is soft and frays slowly.- Its elastic band can stay inside the back cover. I rarely need it.My only wish is that Moleskine would make one just a bit smaller, maybe 4.5" x 3"!

I love my Moleskine pocket daily planner and grabbed a couple of these to jot notes from church and Bible readings in. Great paper and great size.
