Little Ruled Black Book.
Well, how does one judge a journal, or notebook?  They don't have anything special about them, that may or may not go wrong. This little book, has smooth,but fragile pages. The two times I tried to write something on page 1, I ended up having a couple of small holes in the page. The cover is smooth, to the touch. And the price was good. A;tjpigj, it seems a bit much for...

Fantastic! I've been using 'em for years!
These "True Red" journals are the best. I love these softcover ones. I've been using them for years and am especially grateful to the folks at Staples for switching my pick up order to these two from the hardcover ones, for the same price. I wheeled these guys and a smaller one and a whole box of printer paper from the Staples on 184th and Broadway all the way home to w...

I Love my new journal
It's just the right size to bring in a pocket or a purse. There's a built in page marker so I can open to a new page easily. AND there's an elastic ribbon to keep it closed. It's a lot like a moleskine and costs a lot less.

Great size and strap
This little black book is great for small purses. The strap is a bonus to keep it shut inside the purse.

Ruled Journal
This Journal satisfies my need completely for its intended application. I especially like the band that holds the journal together. It fits perfectly into my cargo pocket of my my pants as well.

Lovely
This is a lovely little book. The paper is opaque and smooth. There are lots of pages. I haven’t tried slipping it into a shirt pocket, but I think it would fit.

Perfect
It fits in my back pocket and the pages stay flat because of the band. It’s a nice little journal I like to take with me everywhere.

The Perfect Pocket Journal
An absolutely excellent little pocket journal; works wonderfully with the Uni-ball Vision Elite pen. 
The only downer is that the bookmark eventually fell off, though, I didn’t really need it.
The durability of item is impressive overall — I spent from March to November writing in it everyday and it still holds integrity.
1+ star for being able to hold ink, 1+ star f...

Covered journal
Just what I was looking for.  Small enough to pack yet large enough write in.  The stiff cover is a bonus .
