This notebook is a great way to carry your notes around. The cover is made of a hard plastic, so the book won't get crushed in a bag or pocket like the smaller Moleskines covered in brown paper. The pages are large enough so that your writing doesn't feel cramped, and you can draw things out big enough to easily share with with others (example: I diagrammed a football play for someone sitting across a small table, and they were able to follow without holding the notebook up to their face).
