An interesting side-by-side comparison of the Moleskine City notebook for Paris, vs. a Bound Custom Journal with Paris map pages. The writer admits he’s a bit biased as it’s on Bound’s own blog, but I think he did a very fair comparison of each notebook’s features.
I haven’t tried a Bound journal yet, but I love the idea of being able to customize the sections. If I was using one for a travel journal, I’d love to have map pages plus calendar pages for my trip dates– that is a definite plus over Moleskine. But I love the smaller size of the Moleskine– to me, even 4×6″ starts to feel a bit too large for a notebook I’m going to carry around while traveling. I also like the ribbon markers and tracing paper included in the Moleskine. Everyone’s preferences are different in these matters…

Anything over 3.5 inches wide doesn’t fit in a shirt pocket, which, for me, makes it unusable.
