MoleskineClassic Notebook, Large, Ruled, Hydrangea Blue, Hard Cover (5 X 8.25)

The quality of the paper is outstanding—thick enough to prevent bleed-through, yet smooth for a great writing experience. The classic design is both stylish and functional, making it perfect for jotting down ideas, sketches, or daily journaling.

Purchased two of these for a poem class requirement… very nice!

Moleskine is the go to for those of us who need/want journals that are small in size (other sizes galore, too) and sturdy. Whether it's used for a diary, notes, journaling, or cracking the code of life (lol), this is your source. It's sturdy, plentiful and comes in an array of colors and sizes. Plenty of choices, but Moleskine does not disappoint.

I’ve been using the moleskin journals for years now for my everyday writing. They’re durable and a great size for carrying around. I personally deck mine out in stickers which stay on very nicely

LONG STORY SHORT:I love these. I have been journalling and writing in Moleskine notebooks for over 15 years. During some seasons of life, I wrote in one every day. When my wife got pregnant recently, I decided to write a journal of my thoughts feelings and musings during the 9 months of pregnancy, and give him the journal on his 18th birthday. There was no doubt what kind of journal I'd be using for such an important undertaking.PROS-Great quality. Constructed well, great materials, great paper quality.-The paper is "soft" if that makes any sense. You really can feel that the quality is on a different level from the everyday paper that you're used to writing on.-Strong binding that lasts throughout many openings and closings, when writing 1-3 pages per day. I've used several different kinds of journals over the years, including many Moleskine knockoffs. Most of them don't fully hold up by the time you finish writing in the journal. This one always has.-Good quality elastic band to keep it closed.-Little folder pocket in the back, why? Who knows. But you can put stuff in there.-Braided "book mark" ribbon. Soft and doesn't fray. If it does, you can re-burn the edge and you're back in business.-Front page has a "In case of loss, please return to:" section. I lost one one time...and someone returned it...so that was nice.CONS-Some knockoffs come with 2 bookmark ribbons. Why you'd need two in a journal...I wouldn't know. But this one only has 1-The "In case of loss, please return to:" section in the front of the book has an additional line for "As a reward: $ ____________. That's always bugged me. First of all, I think people should return these sorts of things out of the kindness of their own heart. Second of all, how can you put a value on something you haven't written yet. First thing you do is put your name and number in there, and that you'll give someone $1000 if they return it to you?? what if you lose it before you've written anything in it?! are you contractually obligated by your reward line?! What if you put $5....and then end up writing in the notebook the calculations that make time travel possible?! Then you lose it...and some dude finds it and decides $5 isn't worth his time...and throws it in the river! ....I'm no historian, but I bet that's happened before. The time travel thing.Just return the notebook people. It probably means something to someone. Be good to one another.Are you still reading this? What were we talking about?....oh yeah. The Moleskine. Buy it. It's good.

I’m writing a diary of memories raising my son: All the funny stories, vacation memories, struggles and achievements to give him as a memory book when he graduates from high school. So he can always have those memories and snippets of stories that might otherwise be lost to time.I’ve used these notebooks in the past and they’re easy to tuck into a bag or backpack, trim yet with enough pages to fill and be substantial.Not everything digital is better.Lost a star because it’s a bit pricey.

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!

I got this Moleskine notebook to use in the office when I'm taking meetings in person. The 5 x 8.25 inch notebook is perfectly portable and lightweight. I also like that it is hardcover and feels sturdy against daily use. I use it for taking quick notes and enjoy having the ruled pages for this purpose. It's a great, high quality product overall!

Buena calidad

I have to notebooks, same colour, same size. One I bought in a store, with a cover in leather, but this one is not. Very easy to get dirty. The description should be corrected.

I chose different Mokeskines for decades. It never disappoints me.

This was a gift so I am unable to answer how it preforms. However, the unopened product was what I purchased and was hoping to receive.

Entrega rápida e excelente produto.
