  • Fantastic notebook, top quality paper and design
Color: Reef Blue Size: Large Style: Ruled
I've used Moleskine notebooks for years, they are superb. Nice weight of construction in the covers, and the paper has a lovely weighty quality to it too. Moleskines do seem a little expensive at first but I've had this particular book on the go now for just over three years and it's holding up well. Fantastic product and value. ... show more

  • Perfect for journaling, despite its drawbacks
Color: Black Size: Large Style: Ruled
I am 32 years old at the time of this review, and I have been keeping a journal almost literally since I knew how to write. I have vivid memories of myself sprawled at the top of the stairs in my mom's old house, a little girl of no more than 6 or 7, scribbling away in my journal. I'm sure whatever I was scribbling at the time was half illegible and made no sense, but who cares. Over the past 25+ years as a diarist, I've tried just about every type of diary and journal there is, from kitschy one-year diaries with locks to plain old spiral or composition notebooks to elegant, beautiful blank hardbound books with fancy designs on them. After all these years, I have definitely concluded that a Moleskine-type notebook is best for journaling. What do I mean by "Moleskine-type" notebook? Simple. I mean a hardbound notebook of a convenient size (the Moleskine "large" is perfect in my opinion at about 5x8 -- it's small enough to throw in my purse, yet not annoyingly tiny.) I mean a notebook with an inner pocket so I can store odds and ends. I mean it has a ribbon marker so I can find my place easily, and an elastic band closure so the pages don't get messed up when I'm traveling around. I mean it lies flat when it's open so I can write easily. I mean it's durable as hell no matter how much I throw it around, and has acid-free, archival quality paper. This type of notebook is incredibly functional for journaling. It's not overly fussy, and it actually lasts a lot better over the years than some of those "fancy" ones I've used in the past. I have leather-bound journals I used in college 10 years ago that I thought were a quality investment. Guess what? They're falling apart now, while my Moleskines of a similar age still look practically new. Now. I should mention that, contrary to popular belief, Moleskine is certainly not the only company to make this type of notebook. Rhodia, Leuchtturm, Quo Vadis, and other companies all have similar offerings, with the hard cover, ribbon marker, inner pocket, etc. A while back, I went on a little tour of all these competitors' notebooks, for comparison. The upshot: I still prefer Moleskine, and here's why. While Moleskine is nearly perfect, it does have one quality that many consider a flaw: the paper is thinner than all of its competitors' notebooks. This means you can really only use certain types of pens with it (I'll tell you my favorite in a second.) It's not fountain pen friendly, so if that's what you prefer, forget it. It even has trouble with many ordinary "inky" pens, such as rollerball pens. Any of these will produce bleed-through to the other side of the page, which, like all of you I'm sure, I abhor. BUT. The problem with the competitors' notebooks, for me, is that the "higher quality" 80g or 90g paper many of them use tends to mean I have to wait forever for my ink to dry. And try as I might, I'm just not comfortable with that. From Rhodia to Leuchtturm, I had this problem with them all. I couldn't find a quality paper that would actually absorb the ink quickly enough for me to continue writing as fast as I wanted to, over to the next page. That is why I still prefer Moleskine, even though the paper is thinner than many of its competitors. Thankfully, I've found a solution that works for me: Pilot G2 gel pens. Unlike Pilot rollerballs (e.g., V7 and V5), the G2 produces no bleed-through to the other side of the page in the Moleskine notebooks, and yet there is no dry time required. I can write continuously, pages upon pages, without having to stop and wait, or fear smudging. I'll admit it's inconvenient to only be able to use one type of pen, which is why I'm giving the product 4 stars out of 5. But for me, this balance is perfect. So I'm a Moleskine die-hard. I've tried the alternatives and concluded that for me, this is the best balance. Hopefully I've given you enough information to decide whether you will feel the same. ... show more
