I've been using Moleskine products for years now (they're brilliant!), and this style of diary for the past three years. Not being into the bulging ring-binder type beloved of the go-getters of this world, this product is just right for me. It's pages are big enough for notes and as a result it can be used as a journal just as easily as an appointments diary, and it can fit into a fairly large coat pocket. There's enough relevant extra information at the front of it - although if you filled in all the details on the Personal Data page you'd be at risk of forgetting who you are if you lost the book; and it would be a gift for anyone intent on stealing your identity! The telephone and address book at the back would be useful for those who prefer to keep written versions; you get a new one with each year's diary, which is great for new users, but for returning customers it's a bit of a waste because you just slot in the previous year's one, and give the new one away. The one thing that I miss is a pen holder - but then I guess that's what jacket pockets were made for! Great product.
