If your order is cancelled, it means somebody got there before you; sorry and try again next time!

CIAK Large Black Ruled Journal/Notebook

£15.95

The superb CIAK notebook. Black leather with archival quality ivory ruled paper. 15x21cm (A5). Patented horizontal elastic band secures any pen tightly against your notebook. CIAK journals and notebooks are made in Italy.

Italian Bonded Leather

Made from smooth soft Italian bonded leather, the CIAK's cover is firm yet flexible, which makes it an excellent alternative to a hardback cover. The use of bonded leather also makes CIAK notebooks very durable - ideal for everyday use.

Archival Quality, Acid Free Paper

There are 140 pages of permanently bound, college ruled cream paper that is perfect for fountain pen ink as well as ballpoints. The paper is archival quality and acid free and takes ink with no feathering or showthrough.

A Unique Leather Notebook

But that's where the conventional notebook ends.

Handmade in Florence, Italy, the CIAK notebook is a leather journal with a difference. CIAK features a patent protected horizontal elastic band, one major advantage of which is that a pen can be securely fastened to the notebook without fear of loss or damage. We've tried this with a variety of pens of different sizes ranging from a Pilot G2 to a Mont Blanc and the CIAK secured each one perfectly.

This is something that is simply impossible with any other notebook, due to their conventional vertical elastic bands. A quick look at the various Moleskine hacks on the Internet demonstrates the usefulness and value of having a pen attached to the notebook in this way.

The CIAK Range

The CIAK range is comprehensive and provides for user choice in virtually all elements of the notebook:

Sizes: 9x13cm, 12x17cm, 15x21cm (A5)
Colours: Black, red, blue, burnt orange, yellow.
Paper types: Ruled cream paper, plain cream paper, squared cream paper, plain white paper, multicolour ruled paper, address book, daily and weekly diary.

As well as the classic range of notebooks, the CIAK range also includes the CIAK Golf notebook, CIAK Travel notebook, CIAK Pocket slim notebook and CIAK Design themed notebook, which are all also available from The Journal Shop.

Moleskine Notebooks

Thanks to the veritable PR geniuses over at Modo e Modo, the history of the Moleskine is now fact rather than mere anecdote. Used by a plethora of creative geniuses including the great American writer and novelist, Ernest Hemingway, the Moleskine (or 'Hemingway Notebook' as one user affectionately refers to his), has transcended its origins as a mere notebook. Instead, for many, the Moleskine is itself a source of inspiration, nurturing creativity from within its creamy pages.

What do we think? Well, the Moleskine is not perfect, but there is something undeniably pleasing about the black oilcloth cover and cream pages of a Moleskine notebook. And there are plenty of combinations to choose from, each with its own characteristics. The Journal Shop keeps a healthy stock of Moleskines ready for dispatch within 24 hours, and our Moleskine 3 for 2 deal offers unrivalled value for money on genuine Moleskine notebooks - buy two Moleskine notebooks, get another Moleskine notebook completely free! You can mix and match from all of the different styles of Moleskine notebooks, or even mix and match from our other brands.

Moleskine Addiction Guide

Nick Cernis over at puttingthingsoff.com has created an excellent, informative and rather fun page about the various stages of Moleskine addiction. Yes, it's a real problem folks. Nick details the various symptons of Moleskine addiction associated with each stage on the "Moleskale" so it should be easy to rank your own addiction to Moleskine notebooks using his page.

Moleskine Addiction Guide

Classic Moleskine Notebooks

The original range of hardback Moleskine journals and notebooks. In this category you will find the classic Moleskine, as well as a few additions such as the Moleskine Japanese Album, Moleskine Info Book, Moleskine Storyboard Album and a few more gems. Available in Pocket and Large format.

Moleskine Soft Notebooks

A recent addition to the Moleskine lineup of notebooks, the Moleskine Soft notebooks have, as the name would suggest, a soft cover which is identical to that on the classic hardback Moleskine other than its flexibility. The back cover on the Moleskine soft cover notebook is less flexible than the front cover, due to the presence of the expandable inner pocket at the rear of the Moleskine notebook.

All the pages on the soft Moleskine are thread-bound and made from acid free paper. With an elastic closure and an expandable inner pocket made of cardboard and cloth, which contains the Moleskine history, they are ideal for students, creative artists and professionals.

Highly recommended for anyone who has ever wished their Moleskine would flex to fit their body while in their shirt or jean pocket.

Pocket size: 9 x 14 cm (3½ x 5½")
Large size: 13 x 21 cm (5 x 8¼")
Extra Large size: 19 x 25 cm (7½ x 9¾").
