Pocket Moleskines: A Brain-Dump in your Pocket
A pocket-sized notebook is a handy thing to have, whether you're an artist, a writer, an engineer, or anyone who just needs somewhere to record your thoughts on the go.
My favourite pocket notebook? The Moleskine. Back pocket, elastic strap, a combination of regular and perforated pages... what's not to love?

My Favourite Moleskine Pocket Notebook
Moleskine Reporter, Small Plain Notebook
Amazon Price: $12.95 (as of 12/27/2009)
My favourite type of pocket Moleskine - a blank reporter-style notebook. I find the flip-top reporter style easiest to hold in one hand while i'm drawing, and i like scribbling all over the blank pages.
