Moleskine Cahier Journal, Set 3 Notebooks with Plain Pages, Cardboard Cover with Visible Cotton Stiching, Colour Kraft Brown, Large 13 x 21 cm, 80 Pages

These are the ideal size, not too heavy or big - somewhere between A5 & A4 so slides in neatly into a laptop bag. Plain paper which means I can fit more on the page. Exactly what I was looking for.

Disappointed with the new thinner paper. I'd rather have fewer pages than have the ink come through on the other side.

The size of these books is just perfect for a jacket pocket. I once worked for a manger who told me that the less you carried to a meeting, the more important you are. This book lets me look important - it fits in my jacket. I use these cahiers as my daily notebook for meetings etc. I use the black covered books and they look well. The covers are black cardboard. When the book is full, I index the book by writing on the cover (using gold and silver pens).I typically use 4 cahiers in a year. However, the busier you are.. the more you use.There are detachable pages at the back of the notebook (a surprisingly useful feature) and a basic "pocket" in the inside back cover (it will not hold much - a ticket, receipts or index cards).Personally I use plain paper (no markings) and the ivory in colour and it looks well. The paper is not the best but it works with fountain pen ink (but not all I use) and pencil. With clients I use a Lamy 2000 EF with Lamy's Blue Black ink. If you have a broader nib, this will put down a "wetter" line and you can get some bleed and "show through".In summary, the size is perfect and the paper is "good enough".

I have been using these Cashier Plain Pocket Journals for the best part of 10 years now. For me they are the perfect note book. They look lovely and their size is perfect to carry around in a pocket. Add a small pen and you have a great combination to capture thoughts, poems, literary ideas or sketch.I love a blank page, particularly a plain note book; it is so versatile and full of possibilities.The paper quality is excellent and it feels great to write on either with a roller ball or a fountain pen.I generally keep the books for separate and discrete functions. Prayer diary, things I read and want to capture, writing ideas etc. In this way, these journals become works of art and memory in their own right. Something to keep and treasure.The back 16 pages are perforated which might be useful for some.The back page also has a useful pocket which can hold other paperwork - business cards and flyers you might pick up whilst out and about.If I heard that Moleskine were discontinuing this notebook, I would purchase a lifetime supply!

These used to come in even more different cover colours... but the product itself is still the same excellent thing. I have the XL size - not too big, not too small, not too thin, and there's a pocket on the back inside-cover to hold slips of paper. There aren't all that many similar products out there that are so well made, especially plain paper without lines/grids etc. It's stitched not stapled, which I also like. I wish it was cheaper, but I suppose you have to pay a little more for good things.

These are great for pencil sketches, with smooth, creamy paper, but at 70gsm, it is thin and easily shows through.I bought 'large', but in truth they are only 21cm by 13cm, which makes them the same height, but narrower than A5. I would more accurately call this 'small'.The binding makes it difficult to keep the paper flat, especially towards the end, and also at the end you need to put something between the paper and the pocket, to prevent ridges showing through.These are slim, lightweight notebooks, fairly insubstantial, but you don't have so much 'new notebook' fear with something like this!

This is a different style of 'book' from other Moleskine products I have bought, for several reasons.1. It is a set of three Plain Journals.2. The cover is made of thin brown card, similar to the card used to make traditional stencil plates before the linseed oil is applied. It is a soft-cover not the hard-cover as suggested in the Amazon listing that is usual on Moleskine books.3. The journals are stitched the length of the spine, not stapled or glue. They resemble a high quality school exercise or copy book.4. Each journal is 80 plain pages with the last 16 sheets detachable, 13x21cm, on a cream acid-free paper.5. The inner pocket on the back cover is created by a fold over flap glued on the bottom edge; not the expandable pocket of hard-covered Moleskines.All this makes for a more portable notebook that is lighter weight with the flex of a soft-cover making it more friendly to put into a coat pocket.

I bought some in yellow and green. They look very nice and although the cover isn't as soft as the other moleskin notebooks you can get its still really nice. The paper is good quality and the books have a little pocket at the back for any loose paper. I'm really happy with these. They're about 80 pages each so not too big
