I bought this book because of the size, simple ruled lines with no other format on page, laminated index, hard cover, plenty of pages and very important to me - an elastic band to keep it closed in my purse.

Alas, it did not hold up to ordinary daily use. After less than 18 months, the sewn binding started to loosen and now (26 months after purchase) the book is in 4 separate sections. At least the elastic band keeps those sections sort of together.

I have asked others and they seem to have had similar experiences. I would have rated it zero stars if I could figure out how to leave zero stars in this forum.

Moleskine used to be a fantastic product. How that has changed! The one I received fell apart within 24 hours of receipt, due to the binding glue cracking. The country of origin was conveniently missing from the packaging, but a little researched confirmed my suspicions.

In an effort to save a few pennies, the greedy execs at Moleskine have destroyed yet more good first world jobs and shipped production of their now substandard product to a slave factory in China.

Thank God for Amazon's return policy! Steer clear of this worthless product as quality has once again fallen victim to corporate greed.

This is a great little book. I love Moleskine ! If you've never had a Moleskine, some of the added extras are an attached bookmark, attached elastic closure and an expandable pocket on the back cover you can place something and not have it fall out of the notebook or Address book :) ! My husband and I both use the Address book for different reasons. It is nicely divided with each letter of the alphabet having a few pages. I bought mine to keep track of books I want to read, have read or bought. I like many mystery series and I can list all the books by Author and look them up when we shop at used bookstores. My husband uses his for miscellaneous information. I think I need another :) It would be great to keep track of any collection such as music, DVDs, books, quotes, hobby information etc. It is so handy because it is so small and easy to carry around. I also LOVE my weekly Planner in pocket size. I think they are doing themselves a disservice by calling it an Address book and not presenting it as a book for addresses or any collection. I'm sure many of you can come up with some very creative uses.

The conpany shipped out quickly. This is also a great little address
book!

I wanted to order several for gifts but could order only 6. I tried to order 5. The price was less than $50 but shipping was quoted at over $22. I sought them elsewhere
