I’ve always thought the large moleskine journal was a little bit small. It’s been great for jotting down quick notes. The cover is rigid so you don’t necessarily need a hard surface to write on. The elastic band keeps it from opening when you stick it in a bag, and the soft yellow pages are easy on the eyes. Really white pages are a little too bright. Welp, I was on the moleskine US site and I saw these. They’re soft cover moleskines that are extra large (7.5″x9.25″). Bigger than the current large moleskine, but with just as many pages. Moleskine cahiers come in the extra large size, but they don’t have that many pages in them. While the new extra large moleskines won’t have the rigid cover or the strap to keep it shut, I plan on improvising ways to achieve those features. For the time being, I’m thrilled that they’re making bigger moleskines. I always felt that the current moleskines were a bit too narrow for doing things other than writing down random thoughts. Wahoo for new moleskines. Though, it looks like the US shipments are being held up in customs. I hope they make it through quick!
