I do think that Moleskine needs to describe some of their notebooks better, this is just ridiculous.

The little ones are absolutely awesome. Next year, I may just make my own yearly log. I’ll miss the little printed dates on the top. For some reason, that gives me structure. I’ve never been able to keep up with a diary that didn’t have the days labeled.

I haven’t even looked at their city books. Are they really so useless?

I personally love the 3.5″x5.5″ lined notebooks. I use them and scribble all the time, waiting for the bus, on the bus, on the metra, in meetings when I probably should be paying attention to other things… I used them exclusively when I went on a hiking trip in Japan (unlined) to document the adventures (there were doodles involved).

I saw these planner books in a store, open for someone to flip through, and I agree that the wasted space is annoying, but also the format felt ‘wrong’ to me.

Of note, I feel the same way about their ‘city’ books. I saw the Chicago one and thought about getting it to use to document my travels here, but then when I flipped through it, it’s full of ‘helpful’ crap. I’ll just get a regular unlined, paste in a map I print off Google, and draw instead.
