MoleskineClassic Notebook, Soft Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Ruled/Lined, Black, 192 pages

I love Moleskin notebooks. The leather is always good quality, the spine stays strong for years. The lines are helpful for writing, but light enough they won't really show in a doodle or sketch. Great value for what it costs.These notebooks are always high quality, clean. Lends for a real professional look. The elastic strap to keep it closed has held up for 7 years on my last notebook, far longer than most. Even the paper has a nice quality and weight to it.If you've never had one, try it. You'll never go back.

I buy these all the time they’re the best for keeping notes, writing things down workout notes, all kinds of different stuff

It is definitely ‘soft cover’ which I overlooked in placing my order. Totally my fault. I used to buy the hard cover of the same page layout for journals I kept many years ago and love these things. I am going to try the softcover and who knows, maybe I will like it better! The soft cover is pliable… like thickened paper with a thin black laminate on it. I had never seen this type of cover before so didn’t know it was not the same as I used before.

I originally bought the pocket sized moleskine notebook and quickly realized that I was in love. The pocket sized fit my story ideas perfectly.When I went back to college, I searched for planners that had a monthly view, a weekly view, enough space for a prioritization and to-do list, as well as pages for extra things. The planners I found had different combinations of these things but I could never find one planner with everything I was looking for (even moleskine planners weren't exactly what I was looking for).So, one night, I googled planners, figuring I could come across some random site that sold planners better suited to my needs. To my surprise, I came across an entire community of people who took regular moleskine (typically moleskine) ruled planners and turned them into customized planners just for them.I immediately started writing down what I specifically wanted and needed in my planner. I knew there would be an adjustment period until I'd perfected it, but I was willing to try.I'm on my third six-month long planner and it's been worth it. Looking back on the years in middle school, jr high, and high school that I spent bending my needs to fit the planner as opposed to having a planner that fit MY needs, seem crazy!Plus, I've noticed that because of the expensiveness of moleskine notebooks and the time it takes me to do everything (usually about four hours to finish the whole thing), I use and care for them more! I do end up with unused pages in the back of the books but I use them to help me plan out next semesters classes and various things like that.

Love the quality of moleskin notebooks

I took a break from moleskine products for 5 years after being dissappointed by the inconsistent paper quality. But here I am now, I bought another because I heard they are stepping up their game on consistency. I have also become more educated about paper weight over the years, and now I know exactly what to expect from 70 gsm paper: i.e. I know that it CAN handle some fountain pens and inks, but not all. I know it can handle SOME gel pens but not bold or wet ones. Tombow brush pens did well. Bottom line, it's a mixed bag, try this paper for science, if you like...I know it's not as wonderful as tomoe river paper or Clairfontaine or Leuchtturm, but I found a pen that makes this paper really enjoyable to use and I'm excited to use this as my next journal.It's nostalgic for some reason and I dig it.My favorite pen to use on this paper is the Sharpie pen, felt tip, 0.8. It's as smooth as a fountain pen with minimal ghosting, no bleedthrough. I recommend this pen if you like a flowing writing experience.FYI, the softcover has 192 pages, not 240 like the listing says. (The hardcover moleskine page count is 240.)

Product as described and arrived on time.

Always high quality. I have been buying Moleskin notebooks for years and the quality is always the same. Bookmark is a nice feature.
