But I keep going back and forth, tending to favor a notebook that also comes in that variety of sizes: Rhodia. Made in France. High grade vellum. You can find them in art stores. My favorite is the little 2.9X4.1in., cross-ruled - fits nicely in my vest or shirt pocket. Nice thing about Rhodia is, you can sketch out a note or drawing, then remove the page (perforated at the top). I like the small Moleskine, though: that secret pocket in the back!

I used to have a lined journal for when I was more of a writer, but I recently bought the same one you have, the medium hardcover notebook with squared pages. I haven't found any other notebooks with squared pages, and I like that it's easier to draw in this than a lined notebook. I also have small handwriting, and the grid is smaller than the lines, so it all works out well. I carry mine around with me everywhere I go along with a set of colored pencils and a pen. I like to sketch things I see that might be good inspiration for future designs. .-= Daniel´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/danielthaiblog/~3/-e-VYVIDDTI/" rel="nofollow">Design-a-day, round 2</a> =-.

You'd have to be SERIOUSLY irresponsible with money to even consider it!! Haha. They ARE nice and I've used them in the past but I honestly don't think the quality is any better than the higher quality offerings at WHSmith. That's what I use now and I think they're brilliant. I'd love to rely solely on moleskines but I can't justify it - when I design, I scribble ALL over the place, colour hex codes, pixel dimensions, enclosing div ids, etc etc. and I go through paper quicker than a curry house toilet.

I wasn’t convinced for the first few minutes, but now I’ve used it, I think I’ll be a long-term user.

I bought it for £12.50, free delivery, so wasn’t priced too badly either :)

I used mine for the first time last night, to start designing a logo for my wife's new business. Black ballpoint pens work really well on the paper...I can tell that I am now a convert to the Moleskine way :) Sidenote: I'm still having some issues with comment Moderation, hopefully, your next comment should appear right away all going well. @ Susan Ice Rocket? I think it's on my pinglist. Is this a great service to ping to? @ Alex,

I love them enough to have written two articles about them for my site, heh :p I started with the pocket sized Classic ruled, then received a non-ruled version that had been engraved. I use the Extra Large Cahier ruled for writing my blog posts in first (got my second three-pack of these earlier this year -- so, so nice to write in. Cardboard cover makes them easy to carry around too). and earlier this year I got a diary which is just gorgeous.. a day to a page on that beautiful stock.. welcome to the club ;) It's a fun addiction I find I write the best when writing in them.. i think it's the feel of the paper, especially against a fineliner or graphite pacer.. it sounds odd, but the sound of the graphite breaking off onto the paper gets me excited and just feels right.. the ideas just flow.. I have no doubt it's all in my head <abbr><em>Alex Charchars last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/retinart/~3/jCGIi1pfRX0/newyorkmag" rel="nofollow">Art Director: Milton Glaser</a></em></abbr> I love the Moleskine range.
