 You pay extra for quality. Bookmark on notebook, not reporter September 16, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
At first I thought it difficult to justify the added expense for paper, but you do get good quality. One reviewer comments on stains; but after buying and using 5 or 6 different moleskines, I have to believe that was an exception that would have been replaced.
I like the Reporter Style for writing quickly or with limited space, but I like the bookmark that is on the standard notebooks.
 A perfectly adequate notebook line; nothing special. August 10, 2006

After reading about Moleskine notebooks for several months I eagerly bought a three-pack at a local bookstore. First of all, I was disappointed to see, after unwrapping the set, what appeared to be acid burns or some other imperfection on the covers. After using one, I couldn't understand what the big deal was. In my opinion, there are many notebooks that are just as good as if not better than Moleskine. Most are comparable in price. I used to like the similarly priced brands made by French companies, apparently for students, for example, Clairefontane. In addition, the covers of my Moleskines are not particularly sturdy, so after I transfer my notes, I'll probably throw my grungy-looking notebooks in the trash. "Legendary" indeed.
I'm starting to believe... July 4, 2006

I first encountered Moleskine notebooks in a bookstore in London this spring, and what lodged in my memory was their marketing claim to be "the legendary notebook of Hemingway," et cetera. I have since learned from various sources that those claims may be a touch exaggerated. But now that I own one myself and am starting to make daily use of it, I'm beginning to see, at least, why Moleskine notebooks have so many fans.
For more than ten years, I've used a calendar/day planner/all-your-information-in-one-place system that isn't just a notebook but has an entire philosophy about how you're supposed to live your life tied into it. I never bought into that aspect of the company, but have grown used to having one reference containing all that stuff between two covers, and with a place for a pen besides. Going from that to a Moleskine, with its one small pocket in the back and no place to put a writing instrument, is definitely a switch. It's the part of the change I'm least sure about. On the other hand, the Moleskine definitely wins for portability, ease of use, style, and handiness-to-have-around in case of brainstorms.
So I'm still not completely sold that this is the best of all possible notebooks. But it's definitely a good one, and I do appreciate both the attractiveness of the design and the quality of the construction. Sure, you can get a serviceable notebook for about a tenth of the price, and a whole "lifestyle system," updated annually, for quite a bit more. It's all a matter of taste, and my taste is starting to run in this direction.
Will buy another! July 1, 2006

I bought the 3.5 x 5.5 ruled pocket version. By my standards, the best notebook I've ever used. The perfect size for my jacket or pocket. Acid free paper for long-term archival storage of my notes. Good to use an acid free ink for even longer storage (gel ink pens do not work well with the Moleskine's paper though). Looks professional, and I get a lot of nice comments about it. Much easier to use than turning on my PDA and slowly typing in notes with my thumbs. I also really like the fact that it will open completely flat on a table for easier note writing and reading. When this one is full, I plan to buy another. Price is higher than most, but with this Moleskine, you pay for the quality.
 Love it June 8, 2006

Love love love the moleskin notebooks in every size. So cool looking and just get cooler as they get beat up. My favorite size is the small one because I can carry it around in my bag so that I can scribble down any random thoughts throughout the day. One of my unexpectedly best purchases!!
