The Moleskine Volant with a Uniball Signo 207 for size comparison.

I stopped at Borders today because I was on my way to BestBuy to pick up a new tripod for the camera, and the Borders bookstore is right next to it…I remembered that they carry some notebooks and sometimes have some decent sales, so I decided to stop in.  Now the Moleskine Volant Mini (link to Amazon) notebook in my review today wasn’t on sale, and I really had no intent of ever buying another Moleskine notebook, but this one caught me by surprise because of its size.  I’ve had some bad experiences with other Moleskine notebooks due to lots of feathering and bleeding when I wrote in them, so I was hesitant to purchase these, but then I remembered that I did want a small notepad to keep in my car just in case, and I then remembered that the pen I keep in my car is my Uniball Power Tank, which is a ball point pen.  I figured that if I was just going to use these notepads with a ball point pen, then I shouldn’t have to worry about any bleeding or feathering issues when I wrote in them.  So now that I had my excuse to spend more money on office supply related stuff, I  made my purchase, for $5.95 plus tax I got two of these 2 1/2″ x 4″ notebooks with 56 perforated pages of acid free paper in each.
