LEUCHTTURM1917 - Pocket Notepad A6-184 Ruled Micro-Perforated Pages, Black

Leuchtturm, Moleskine, and Rhodia are probably a 3 way tie for notebooks in my experience, each have their strengths depending on what you need for paper, ruling, sizes, etc. For this version of a reporter-style A6-ish format, Leuchtturm is best. These A6 top-bound notepads are great, the paper is top notch and works well with my fountain pens. Great format/shape, great paper, large number of numbered pages, easy pocket carry. Perfect for notes and sketching when you don't need heavier weight paper.

best pocket book ever!

I've been using Moleskine notebooks for maybe 8 or more years and within that time, the company, Modo E Modo, moved the production from Italy to China. Since then, I've just been completely disappointed. They're complete crap now. Enter Leuchtturm,,, Similar feel to the old German Moleskines and seem like they are better made than the Chinese-made Moleskines. They also have a Table of Contents and numbered pages. I suspect that this one will last much longer (than the new Moleskines) before I have to repair the cover; So that's good. I would give it a shot the next time you need a Moleskine. It almost hurts me to say this, but the Leuchtturm is, so-far, better than the modern Moleskine.

Having used these since 2012, I can tell you that I love these. Out of habit, I generally go with the reporter style. Mainly due to larger spiral notebooks. Every lefty knows that that the spiral gets in the way if it’s not at the top. This particular notebook goes with me everywhere. The hardcover is sturdy enough to survive residing in a vest or side pocket. I’ve had less success using a back pocket. The paper is high quality and bleed through is not a problem. The pocket in the back is useful and, the index and numbered pages allow me to find particular information quickly. My only criticism is with the elastic band. It stretches out of shape with time and doesn’t hold securely.

I loved!

I recently received a Moleskine Plain Reporter, 9cm x 14cm to use for work. I prefer reporter-style notebooks, but the Moleskine one was really special. The bound construction, expandable pocket inside the rear cover, and especially the elastic band that keeps it closed made it very user friendly and an excellent companion for four busy days in Asia. On my return, I discovered this very similar notebook from Leuchtturm 1917 here on Amazon. This notebook is slightly less expensive than the Moleskine version, and has a few subtle differences. It is slightly longer (about half an inch), includes a three-page contents section, cover and spine labels for archiving, and subtly numbered pages. The paper is slightly off white with a greenish tinge. The lines and other printing are subtle, and look like they are in grey. Like the Moleskin, this notebook has a leatherette cover, some perforated sheets at the back, an expandable pocket inside the rear cover, and a small flyer describing the design features and telling a short story about the company. It's hard to believe this much thought can go into something like a small notebook, but it really adds to the usefulness over a typical spiral-bound job. Designed in Germany, made in Taiwan. Recommended.

Ordered this for my son, and he loved it he will use it for his phlebotomy notes at work. it was delivered super fast and on a Sunday!!

I absolutely love this Pad! If your a reporter, cop, security, etc...you will love this pad too. The hardcover keeps your pad protected and all your notes in place. This is a big deal since we usually are given memo pads at work and don't last very long in our pants or vest pockets. I always feel wasteful when I have to get a new pad after only using two to three dozens sheets or so. The elastic band as mention is quite useful to keep the pad close or as a page mark for quick, last page reference. The back expandable pocket inside the rear cover is very useful to keep any small reference notes or business cards. I personally use it to store special notes for that day that relate to my shift for easy access. I also used this pocket to store a vendor, contractor, or police officer's business card. Later on when I write my report I can pulled the information or card itself and attached it to my report. This pad is very useful and a true eye-catcher. The quality is seen throughout and its very appealing.

Usual Leuctturm quality in a nsmall package, for occassions when I don't want to carry an A5 book. Prefer hard back and the flip over design makes me feel like a 1950's policeman

Pedí estos blocks como sustituto de sus equivalentes de Moleskine que no encuentro por ningún lado pero una vez recibidos he de decir que son un poco mayores que los Moleskine - apenas un centímetro - detalle sin importancia, especialmente cuando su nivel de calidad parece mejor, así como algún aspecto más que los hace, a mi entender, mejores. Por ejemplo el índice inicial, el trepado para el corte de todas las hojas, la numeración de las páginas, la posibilidad de incorporar un porta-bolígrafo o la posibilidad de llevar la portada completamente sobre la contraportada. Quizá la única diferencia negativa sea el gramaje inferior del papel - unos más que suficientes 80 gr/ m2 - pero que presenta un mejor acabado superficial. En definitiva estos blocks me han sorprendido muy positivamente.

petit format parfait dans le sac. à sortir dès qu'on quelque chose à noter ; la couverture s'ouvrant sur le dessus permet une aisance dans la prise en main et la rédaction. le papier est de qualité malgré qu'il soit fin. acheté avec la petite accroche pour insérer un stylo
