   after reading one review, I thought this was a tiny, yearly planner. Wrong!!! Back it goes. My mistake…but it would be dumb to keep this when Moleskine obviously makes planners too. Rating: 1 / 5

   Well, I was expecting a notebook that was about the size of a DVD case, but instead, I received one that was barely larger than my iPhone. It is really small, and the description was a little misleading on this product. If you are wanting a notebook that you can write more than one sentence on a page, get the “large” one.

   Seems go be decent quality though. Rating: 3 / 5

   FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS NOTEBOOK IS SMALLER THAN YOU WILL EXPECT! I DEFINITLY RECOMMEND GETTING IT AT A BOOKSTORE SO YOU CAN SEE THE SIZE FOR YOURSELF!!!

   This was my first Moleskine product that i bought several years ago. This book fits in the palm of your hand , so if you want something that can squeeze into any purse or pocket this is for you! I of course was much more pleased with the large books , so i would probably reccomend those over this. I didn’t really like how my hand felt cramped trying to write on this small thing and i had to write small to fit everything. But I’m not giving it a bad rating just for that. some people will like this size and some people won’t , it’s as simple as that. You’ll just have to see for yourself. otherwise , this is a great and sturdy little book and it serves well for it’s purpose! Rating: 4 / 5

   I really like the idea of the Moleskine, especially the elastic band closure and pocket, but while this is indeed a pocket sized notebook, it’s impractical to keep in your pocket because if the hard cover.

   As the real estate in my front pockets is taken up by keychain, cellphone, and sometimes change and pens, and my right back pocket holds my wallet, I would need the Moleskine to go in the back left pocket, but if I were to sit on anything harder than a couch, the cardboard would bend and warp. I haven’t tried the soft-cover moleskine, as the reviews seem to indicate the glue comes undone quite easily. I’ve been buying the pocket sized MEMO pads (around 99 cents a pop) and they serve the exact same function I desired, and are less intrusive in my back pocket than a wallet, and they’re not ruined by being sat on. It’s not as classy looking, but it gets the job done.

   All that aside, if you live in an area where you wear a coat with an interior breast pocket, or can keep it in your purse, it’s nice and sturdy and should last you a long time. My caveat is that it looks so nice I’m loathe to write down more disposable “notes to self”, grocery lists, etc, whereas I have no problems writing that sort of thing in a MEMO pad and ripping the page out when I’m done with it.

   I have both the soft and the hard cover versions of this. (This one is the hard cover version. The soft cover version is at Moleskine Ruled Notebook Soft Cover Pocket.)

   They are both great but I prefer the hardcover. Neither the soft nor the hard cover versions open to lie completely flat as would a wire-bound notebook, making them a little harder to write in when conditions are less than ideal. The hardcover is a little easier to hold in one hand in a way to provide a convenient and solid writing surface.

   Also, the “elastic closure” on the hard cover is a little more substantial. I have more confidence that it will continue to provide a firm closure over time. I think they had to make the elastic on the soft cover a little lighter so as not to deform the soft cover.

   I therefore give the hard cover (this one) five stars and the soft cover four stars.
