Classic Notebook, Large, Squared, Black, Hard Cover (5 x 8.25)

Yes, it's an expensive notebook with hipster connotations. That said, I still kinda wanted one after reading about these somewhere on the internets but couldn't pull the trigger since the unlined version is not nearly OCD enough for me (way too free form) and the lined version reminds me of the lined paper I had to use in public school, and who wants to remember that waste of 13 years of life you'll never get back? I found the grid version accidentally on Amazon and be still my beating heart! GRID SQUARES?! In a durable notebook that looks more like pointy nose literature you could use to chat up dirty blonde clod-shod nurses wearing hot librarian glasses at the hospital cafeteria (well, assuming you had a black Lab puppy with you or something I guess, I have no game and will die alone) or the secret operating manual for a nuclear missile silo? And it doesn't make you look like you're going back for your GED at 30 if people see you carrying it to the truck or see it sitting on your desk at work? I was hooked. These things are better than crack, they should just give the first one away free and you'll be lining up for more at any price. I discovered it's a very high quality tool that's worth paying a premium for and wished I'd had these a long time ago. Let me break it down for you: I'm an engineer and while going through the four year long, sleep deprived, 80-hour week, repetitive kick in the b@%$# that is engineering school they make you (yes, MAKE you!) do all your homework on this special grid paper called, crazily enough, engineering paper that costs a fortune and ensures that you'll never be dating while hauling a huge tablet of nerd paper and huge calculator though the library at 10:00 PM still attempting poorly to finish all your horrific calculus/thermo/fluid mechanics/sediment transport homework after staying up playing WOW all night. If you were smart enough not to go to engineering school and never had to use the stuff, Amazon probably sells it if you're bored enough to want to see what it looks like (edit: I looked, they do, neat!). Engineering school and engineering paper trains you to write and draw in these little squares and makes everything look all nice and stuff when you review it later. Or not. Either way it's an essential piece of engineer equipment. To this day at work I write everything on grid paper at work and at home as a result. In engineering and surveying we have these things called field books (Amazon sells these too, can life get any better?) but they're not something I'd want to use every day, don't feel real good and work too well since they're kinda small and not suited for people who write big as I do and write a lot with a jubilee of pens. I've always wanted a smaller version of engineering paper (not 8.5 x 11, in other words) for drawing and writing somewhat neatly and organized as we engineers were forced to do in college. Something bound, something tough enough to survive life on the road and in the field making the mediocre bucks, something cooler looking than a giganto fresh tablet of green engineering paper that reminds me of wasting my youth and hair in engineering school when I should've been doing something different (engineering school will still be there when you're 30, kids...). This is it, sports fans. If you're an engineer this bad boy will be close to your heart. If you're not, it will make you OCD and cause you to print in all caps in small squares and draw lots of pictures. Or not. Either way this is a great piece of kit if you need to draw nice engineering style pics and like lots of lines to show you the way while writing important stuff.

I purchased this product to help me be more financially responsible and efficient with budgeting, accounting, and just keeping track of what is happening monetarily in my life. I'm a very on the go person, I work as an expatriate and travel back and forth to the US frequently. This notebook is the perfect size for me and maybe a college student having to carry it around every now and then. I don't think I could get away with a size smaller because it wouldn't have enough page space for keeping track of figures for the long run. I say this because I have a smaller Moleskine notebook that I use for a journal that is lined. The squares are 5mm by 5mm(about 6/16") and, in my opinion, perfect size for one character. Only using one character makes reading numerical info on the page very easy. This has one cover page in the front with lines for personal information if it's lost and one completely blank cover page in the back. There is also a nicely thin pocket in the back if you wish to keep additional documents with it. It comes with a ribbon page marker and an elastic band to keep it securely closed. If I REALLY wanted to knit pick and find a negative about this it would be that the squares do not start at the edge of the page, however, all square placements are equal throughout the book so like I said it would be knit picking. TL:DR This is a great squared notebook for accounting or budgeting with a secure elastic strap and ribbon page marker.

Love my Moleskin! Top of the line for sure. I have bought multiple Moleskines and for good reason, they are a quality product. I bought this notebook for my notes in my Ordinary Diff. and Linear Algebra class because of the quality of the paper as well as the square lines. I am able to keep all my notes, my graphs and all my equations neatly organized because of the nice grid the squares make. The paper is easy to erase on, making it great for notes, sketching, and brainstorming. The book mark helps you quickly navigate the book. The elastic closure with the cardboard covers protects your paper much better than a soft cover will even if it has an elastic closure because it stays closed better and the paper is protected by an offset of cardboard (see pictures) The envelope inside the back cover is great for loose leaf items that you consistently use with the notebook, like a strait edge or a list of guidelines. I love this notebook and plan to buy again when this one fills up and for friends and family.

I prefer quad ruled notebooks and this one is the best I've yet encountered. Most have poorer quality paper or kind of heinous blue, unevenly printed lines (think graph paper). The quality of paper and the printing of the lines in this notebook are perfect for me. For the most part, I keep notes for tabletop games in mine and it's lovely for that purpose. I am sure that the blank and regular college ruled versions are just as good for the folks who aren't into a page covered with a few hundred tiny squares. They work wonderfully for me and if you're into tiny squares on your notebook paper, you'd be doing yourself a disservice to look elsewhere for your notebook needs. Final note: I have had both the soft and the hard cover versions of this notebook. I like them both. The Hardcover looks a little bit classier and is easier to use off of a table or other surface. The Softcover stores in a pocket more easily and is better for times when you lack a good, solid surface. Like if you're riding a train or a bus, or chilling on the couch.

安い分、品質が悪い等のレビューがあり、 アマゾンより送料を入れたら100円ほど高い ブックデポジトリー (The Book Depository)という イギリスのサイトから試しに購入してみました。 直接海外から送られてくるので２週間かかりました。 ひょっとしてヨーロッパ版のモレスキンが あるのかなと淡い期待をしていましたが、残念ながら中国製でした。 ちなみに製品は問題ない綺麗なものでした。

I get through loads of these every year. Love them!

I use these notebooks for personal and business note taking, I don't get many chances to actually write anything anymore, always default to my computer, so I try using these in all my meetings in place of my laptop. They are nearly perfect for this purpose - exactly the right size with squared paper, a hard cover, sewn binding, the whole bit. I go through about two per year, one every six months or so. By `nearly` I mean: the paper could be a tad less absorbent (I use fountain pens, although gel pens work well) and they`re pretty expensive. I figure the pages could be numbered given such cost. I know there are substitutes out there, but Moleskine has their distribution networks functioning very well, so it`s quick and easy to get my next one. Excellent notebook. The grid pages make it useful for many things, and with so many pages these books last a looong time. These are the best notebooks out there, hands down. Storage flap on the back cover is great. Use it all the time.

High quality product and exactly what was advertised and delivered

Ich verwende seit Jahren Moleskine Bücher für geschäftliche Notizen u.a. bei Kundenterminen. Die Bücher haben eine praktische Größe, um neben Laptop etc. in der Aktentasche (oder auch mal der Handtasche) Platz zu finden und sind in der Hardcover Version auch robust genug, nicht direkt zu verknicken, wenn doch mal der Laptop darauf landet. Sie sehen elegant aus und haben an den Innenseiten praktische Taschen um zb. Vistenkarten zu verstauen.
