Moleskine Classic 18 Month 2017-2018 Weekly Planner, Soft Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Black

At first glace, I wasn't sure it would be worth the $21, but when it finally arrived, I am very happy with it. The cover is sleek, but not slippery, fingerprints don't leave obvious stains. Very nicely set up, lots of space to leave notes, multiple size calendars. Overall, it seems to be pretty durable...Unfortunately, US Postal Service decided to completely destroy it, by cramming it in the mailbox as hard as physically possible. The notebook was bent in 6 places, refuses to open normally, and must be forced open. None of the pages can be casually written on, the whole entire book must be forced flat, almost with a vice, before writing. Completely shameful act by the mailman.It sucks, because the notebook is so nice. Now, I have to decide if I want to spend another $21 and hope that the next round goes better. Thanks for wasting my money, USPS.

I'm a couple of months in to ownership and it's holding up very well. Seems to be excellent quality if you ask me! I throw it in my purse with tons of other items and it doesn't seemed to be damaged one bit yet. I like that there's a ribbon bookmark , as well as the elastic closure. I was worried after purchasing that perhaps I should have bought a hardcover book instead, but as I've said, it's very high guality and is in great shape despite being roughed up. I'm glad I went with this one, as it's flexible and lightweight. I'll update my review as more time passes IF anything changes. But as of now, I'm very happy with my purchase.

I was really looking forward to receiving this planner, as I'd heard such great things about them. It is a very nice planner and the layout is simple and easy to use. The cover is high quality and seems durable. However- I received a copy of the planner that ends in 6 months. It's an 18 month planner! I only get to use 1/3 of a planner I payed 3/3 for? I wish I had known I would be recieving a JUNE 2017- DECEMBER 2018 planner in JUNE of 2018. A whole year paid for that I never got to use.

I've been using these for several years and like the size, the layout and the smooth paper. The ones I have run from July of one year to December of the following year, which makes them great for academic settings. The left side pages have the entire week with room for brief notes for the each day. The right-hand page is not divided by day it is just lined and ready for more detailed notes. There is a pocket in the back of the planner suitable for stashing receipts, and in the front is a one month per page calendar and reference pages. It has a ribbon to mark your page and an elastic strap to keep it closed when inserted in your bag or case.

I purchased this planner in July 2017 and used it through December 2018. I love the facing pages for notes and to-do lists and the document pocket in the back. The monthly and yearly pages at the front of the planner also make it easy to see the month or year at a glance. I really enjoy keeping my planner manually because I feel like I remember my schedule and appointments better than on digital calendars. This planner has gone with me to France, South Africa, Mexico, and every day to and from work and graduate school. I've bought the 12-month version of this planner for 2019!

When the title said 'large' I assumed this would be the same size as the moleskin planners I have purchased for the last four years. Alas, it is about half the size. I should have read the dimensions better. Regardless, this planner is 100% amazing. Seriously. I'm a social worker so I schedule a lot of meetings and this is the perfect planner for keeping myself organized and writing little notes. I couldn't recommend a better planner.

I prefer the larger version of this planner, but this one is handy to keep in whatever bag I'm carrying. The simple design of Moleskin lets me easily see what I need to do that day and the side-by-side week planner and lined pages are helpful for planning/brainstorming.

Love the clean design of the pages and good info included. And love the soft cover more than the hardback when I use it inside a leather cover. The vertical week with notes to the right is a great layout so thanks Moleskine for helping me discover I like that. Too many preliminary pages & various sub-calendars for my taste which are not useful to me although I like the maps. This planner is for someone who needs to write notes week to week but doesn't need to go back and find any of them outside of reference to that particular week. There are some project pages in the beginning and if you don't use those or if they're not enough, then your project notes and ongoing tasks will be spread out all over the planner and you'll do a lot of leafing to find them. (Evernote can fix this.) Oh well, planner layout can be personal and the main reason I've moved on from Moleskine is the absorbent paper is not good for fountain pens. You need to keep to extra fine nibs lines if you do to minimize feathering and spread, and even then you'll have ghosting on every page and bleed through on every other one. A lot of this may apply to people who prefer gel pens which lay down a wetter line too.
