- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2025Style: RuledSize: XLColor: Sapphire BlueVerified Purchasei love this notebook. amazing quality and very durable. will last me forever. feels expensive and the pages are beautiful
- Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2025Style: RuledSize: XXLColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI’ve been a fan of Moleskin notebooks ever since receiving my first during a corporate training event 15 years ago. While I worked at an office I preferred the 5 x 8.25” notebooks as they were the right size to carry from meeting to meeting and fit well in to my computer bag for travel, yet were large enough for good note taking. Working from home now allows me to transition to this larger size (XXL) has allowed me to have the additional space for more natural note taking, and makes it easy to integrate printed letter sized pages into my notes.
Moleskin notebooks are bound well so the pages never fall out and the spine doesn’t break, despite the years of abuse I’ve given them over many years of travel. I’m able to use my fountain pen without bleed through to the other size of the page, but I prefer roller pens as they ink of fountain pens will run on these pages if they later get wet.
I’ve lost count of the various notebooks I’ve used and they’ve all been Moleskin: Besides for work, I have one for my favorite beer making recipes, food smoker and canning instructions and notes on each batch. I have others for capturing thoughts, dreams, and ideas as the notebooks are just so comfortable to use and hold up well.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2025Style: RuledSize: PocketColor: BlackVerified PurchaseNot much to say about these other than that they’re nice looking, good sturdy little notebooks. I’ve bought at least two of them on Amazon. I go through one of them journaling and whatnot every 6-10 months or so. And I’ll get me another one once my current notebook is almost filled
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024Style: DottedSize: LargeColor: Sapphire BlueVerified PurchaseMoleskine is just a classic. The paper is thick and feels like butter when you write. As someone who takes a lot of notes at work, I find it easier to keep up with I’m using quality paper. I have found the gridded version works great for note-taking.
A notebook is one of those things that just needs to function so you don’t have to think about it, and I never have issues with ink bleeding through, pages tearing, or whatever else. I think I’ve never even had ink smudge on a Moleskine, and as a lefty, that’s actually quite the feat. Anyway, the notebook you choose may be a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but having a Moleskine notebook is something I’ve come to appreciate.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025Style: RuledSize: PocketColor: BlackVerified PurchaseThis is a good notebook. The cover is high quality and doesn’t break easily. It is very convenient with the bookmark, elastic thread, and the pocket. The only problem is the fact that for some thicker pens, it bleeds through. For the price of it, it is a tad bit disappointing. I would still say it is a good notebook and I would still recommend it.
