Book Reviews of Moleskine Ruled Notebook LargeBook Review: Best for carrying everywhere Summary: 5 Stars
Moleskine makes really nice notebooks. This is my second one, I also have the Cahier Model which is about the size of a passport and it is great because I can have it in a pocket for quick notetaking.
This large model comes with ruled paper, and the lines are about the size I really like. The paper is also good, but be careful when choosing a pen since the paper is not as weight (is kinda thin) as you might expect so the ink might show on the back side of the sheet. I recommend you to try your ink on one sheet and see it for yourself. If you're fine using one side of the paper you won't have any trouble on that matter.
And regarding the size, it's about the first Harry Potter book from Scholastic, so you get the idea, it is really portable but gives you enough room to take notes, make daily plans or taking notes in classes (that is what i use it for).
I recommend it, it has an inside pocket for storing stuff like stickers, store bills or presentation cards, and the elasic band attached to the back of the notebook makes it stay all compact and tidy.
5/5
Book Review: The Classic - Don't go for look-alikes, they are not the same... Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Moleskine notebooks. Every year I buy a new ruled notebook to journal, tape keepsakes, draw, list up, and record in. This year I'm going with the Moleskine Classic Red Notebook, Ruled Large, but usually I use the classic black.
These are tough notebooks. The cover is particularly nice if you live in a humid place, as it's a oilskin material that doesn't mold. I once had a look-alike notebook from another company and the cover molded in 6 months. Moleskines stay nice for years.
I love the back inside pocket for holding onto tickets, coupons, business cards - you name it.
My favorite part is the elastic strap that keeps your journal closed. I love taking it off and closing it back up with a "snap". This is another feature that the imitators can't get right. Their strap gets stretched and looses elasticity. Moleskine's stay nice and tight.
Go for the best, go Moleskine.
Book Review: Moleskine Large Notebook Journal Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to start a Journal for my Granddaughter. Of course I've kept diaries in the past, such as my teenage years, but I wanted this one to be special. After doing many searches online, I found this Moleskine Journal. It has a nice, sleek but plain look, so I thought I'd try it. My reaction? I ended up buying 3 more the day after receiving the first one! It's PERFECT! I read the other customer reviews about which pens work best with the paper in this Journal, and I immediately ordered a bunch of the Pilot G-2 pens (based on another customer's review), and these pens work best (my "ordinary" pen was smudging in the Journal). The pages are nice (I think there're 250 pages per book), the ones I purchased (large) are the perfect size I want (they fit in my handbag), and the Journal itself is just wonderful...no gimmicky look, no teen-ager-y locks, just a plain, sleek-looking Journal. If you're thinking of starting a Journal, or even using this as a store list or To-Do list keeper, I'd highly recommend the Moleskine large.
Book Review: My NaNoWriMo Choice Summary: 5 Stars
I turn to this notebook again and again for journal writing, and this year, I selected Moleskine's ruled notebook (size large) for writing my November Novel for NaNoWriMo. (Because all of my journal notebooks are typically black, I chose red for my novel.) Tomorrow is the final day of November and I have several hundred words left to complete my novel and several pages left in the notebook. I'm remaining confident that I'll not only finish the novel, but that I'll finish it within the confines of this notebook. I love the feel of the notebook, that it will allow me to write from edge to edge, I love the depth of the lines, and I appreciate that it is small enough for me to carry in my shoulder bag so I have it with me at all times. Plus there is a hard cover, a bookmark for saving your place, and a rubberized strap to hold it closed which remains tight throughout the life of the notebook, unlike some of the cheaper competitors.
I'm never disappointed in Moleskine.
Book Review: Don't Believe the Critics... Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these a few weeks ago. I was concerned that the folks who are knocking the paper quality of this notebook were right. So I performed an experiment: I wrote in the last three pages of the book with a variety of pens: Pilot Precise V7 Rolling Ball, Liquid Espresso, and a Pelikan medium nib fountain pen using good old Parker blue "Quink" ink -- all pens I use regularly. In no case did the ink bleed through to the next page, smear, or create any kind of problem at all when applied to paper. Because I write more legibly with the Pelikan, that's the pen of choice for this notebook.
As for the notebook itself, it's large enough to be practical, small enough to be ultra-portable, and sturdy enough with the hard cover for daily use and being dragged around. The built in back pocket is handy for receipts and business cards, and the built in elastic to keep the cover closed is pure genius. Moleskine - were have you been all my life??
