MoleskineClassic Notebook, Soft Cover, XL (7.5" x 9.5") Plain/Blank, Scarlet Red, 192 Pages

Love that it lays flat. Really like the B5/XL size, the softcover and that it's thin. I used to buy deconstructed journals but they were twice as thick for the same number of pages. I keep all my journals and the amount of space needed to store them is crazy for my now downsized life. The moleskine will be perfect. This was also a great price.

Ran into a counterfeit from Amazon but this is the real thing. I like the graph paper, the envelope in the back, the elastic fits this time (YAY!!!!). I use one about every year. I love this one.

For more than than five years I've been using the Moleskine Large Squared Soft notebooks to keep field notes while I start-up, test, and troubleshoot lighting controls on construction sites and in operating buildings. I fill up about six books a year. They fit in a cargo pant pocket so the notebook is always at hand without having to be always in-hand. The binding is flexible enough to allow the book to be laid open at any page. The bookmark ribbon and elastic closure band are both useful. The soft cover is nicely flexible, but is durable enough for my work. (I tried the hard cover version. It was very uncomfortable in the cargo pocket with the range of motion I go through in a day.) Being left-handed, I found spiral bound notebooks of the same size difficult to write in "over the hump". Over several weeks in the pocket, the spiral would get deformed , making the making it harder to open the book or turn through its pages; not a problem with the Moleskine. These notebooks are DEFINITELY LEFT-HAND FRIENDLY. Only two small complaints in over five years of use: first, the bookmark ribbon just fell off of one of my notebooks (that's how I figured out that the bookmark ribbon is really useful), and second, print quality of the grid has been variable in the past. Ideally the grid should be faint, fine lines that compete with my writing for the eye's or the copier's attention. At times in the past the grid has been darker and heavier. This hasn't caught my attention in the last couple of years, so maybe quality control has already taken care of it. The notebooks are a little pricey compared to a spiral-bound, but if you need or want durable and useful, it is value for the money.

The notebook is very good. I use it to take notes, it can bend in order to have more stability. However, the paper is a bit too thin to my liking, you can slightly see the writing on the other page.

Perfect size. Easy to carry, built in place holder and elastic to hold it closed. These have a grid of dots, to keep writing straight, or reference off for drawing. Just do it. You won’t be disappointed.

I initially hesitated about purchasing a Moleskine notebook, not due to any particular concerns but because I thought a basic high school notebook would suffice. However, as I aimed to refine my professional image, I sought something that exuded professionalism while remaining practical for my needs. The Moleskine brand proved to be the perfect fit. The XL size (7.5"x9.5") struck the ideal balance for me, providing ample space for notes during my numerous meetings while allowing for organized page layouts.Utilizing a gel pen on its pages, I've had no ink bleed-through issues. The inclusion of a page definer offers a more sophisticated alternative to my previous adhesive tabs, and the elastic band closure ensures my notes remain secure, even during travels.I also made a wise decision by opting for the soft cover, which offered flexibility for storage in my purse or bag while maintaining its durability. Although the selection boasted an array of colors, I settled on classic black, a timeless choice that complements any setting.My initial experience with the Moleskine brand has been highly satisfactory, delivering style and functionality beyond my expectations.

Exactly what I ordered.

I use it everyday for work and taking notes. Its durable, looks beautiful and pages feel buttery smooth!

The book was very well made, blank pages, good quality paper and lies flat

This is my favourite journal of all time! I love having large, blank pages to write on. It's so high quality, and the colour is life-giving.

A great everyday notebook with a sleek design!
