Moleskins arn't that great. Only the last half of the pages are perforated. The pocket is nice but it's prone to ripping because it's just paper. And for such a simple notebook it's absurdly over priced. I happened to find a pocket journal made for kids from Japan that cost $1.50, the paper is higher quality than moleskins, it's spiral bound, has a clear plastic pocket area with a flap that can be used as a page marker, and the cover has an dual elastic bands that can also be used as page markers or just securing the entire notebook closed. It fits neatly in my pocket. Also it has a cute anthropomorphized bear on the cover with inspirational engrish. For larger notebooks, staples carries a line of recycled sugarcane notebooks which has excellent paper quality, comes with covers either blank or monochrome geometric designs, and only costs about $5.
