 So far indestructible May 26, 2006

I beat the hell out of everything I own. My PDA which this has partially replaced has an aluminum hardshell case and a metal body. I have broken just every watch I have ever owned (and I have/had a few excellent watches). I am naturally hard on things due to my focus on life not on my gear. This little notebook has kept itself together so far, while looking very hip.
I am a software engineer/project manager and am cognisant of my technological options, this is just faster, lighter and thinner than my PDA for scribbling notes. I am never without it in the office.
The back folio pocket and the elastic strap looked dumb when I first bought it. However, I use the folio pocket for receipts to be reimmbursed (better than leaving them in a pocket to be washed or thrown out)and the elastic strap serves double duty as a second bookmark and to keep the notebook together (keeping it closed helps it survive).
I like the construction and archival quality of the book. My notes look more like those of a disorganized madman than a manager (I am starting to wonder if they are synonomous) but if I ever have to refer back to them I can be assured that they will be there for a long time.
It only received 4 stars because they are [...] a piece and at my current scrawling rate, I will probably need about 4 or 5 a year. Just get your company to pay for it if you can, because they are notebooks that you can rely on to be there for a long while.
Lastly: For the person who likes their Montblanc notebook with tear out pages, they are partially missing the point. These books are for archiving and keeping records (of questionable usefulness in my case) not for making quick throw away notes. I also highly doubt that their notebook is as thin as one of these is either. Each have their own place.

This notebook is fabulous...its history inspires. I think that it will be the last type of notebook I use for my journaling and writing. I adore it!

This notebook is pretty gentlemanly and, exudes a feeling of permanence. It summons the 19th century ambience of the original Moleskine, and is an item reminiscent of pre-industrial production. It is nice, sturdy and simple looking. There is a back pocket for carrying note cards, scraps of paper, etc. It is good for taking brief notes and carrying around in a bag of any given size. If you are looking for a notebook to carry in the pockets of your pants, you would be better off with Moleskine cahier notebooks, or if you need something for more long winded note-taking, the larger Moleskines might be the better option. It is, however, a pity that such a simple looking and functional notebook comes at this price.
At any rate, it is a very high quality notebook : well bound in black leather-like material, made of good ivory paper that stands up to ink.
 Not good February 21, 2006

Pages not numbered, strap is cheesy in quality. I much prefer my refillable Montblanc leather notepad, pages tear oout easily or can stay in.
 Great Little Notebook, But Overpriced February 9, 2006

This is a great notebook, but I agree with the other reviewer that it is a bit overpriced. IMHO, a fair price would be around $5-$7.
That having been said, my hobby is creative writing and I carry it around with me in case I come up with an idea and need to jot it down. I also take it with me to my writing critique group.
A regular mini-notebook would probably work just as well, but it wouldn't be as cool.
