Moleskine Ruled Notebook (2008, Hardcover)

It is tough to beat Moleskine for quality. You can be sure anything you buy made from Moleskine will be quality through and through. The history associated with this company is quite interesting but I buy Moleskine for the durability and quality. This particular model I buy in bullk. Most notebooks of this size disintegrate in your pocket after a few weeks of use. These are meant to last a liftime. The paper is high quality and inks well using fineliners so I imagine all types of pens and pencils will be fine with no bleeding. The elastic strap keeps everything secure...the pocket int he back is nice if you ever need to store a business card, receipt, or grab a quick note from a friend/coworker...the bookmark ribbon also makes is easy to pick up where you left off. You don't find many "feature" on pocket notebooks but these have everything the pen & pencil crowd could ever need. If you're a fan of small, reporter style notebooks these are the best around.
