Full details →Who the Moleskine Classic Leather Executive Notebook Hard Cover is for
Buy it if: Ballpoint and pencil writers who want the build quality and the extras.
Avoid it if: Fountain pen users -- buy the 90 GSM Rhodia instead, which also costs less.
Who the Ghost-Grid Magnetic Dry Erase Whiteboard 36x24 is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting a magnetic board that will last years rather than months.
Avoid it if: Anyone leaving writing up for weeks at a time -- that ghosts any painted surface.
