Moleskine Classic Notebook, Extra Large, Ruled, Black, Soft Cover (7.5 x 10)

I initially hesitated about purchasing a Moleskine notebook, not due to any particular concerns but because I thought a basic high school notebook would suffice. However, as I aimed to refine my professional image, I sought something that exuded professionalism while remaining practical for my needs. The Moleskine brand proved to be the perfect fit. The XL size (7.5"x9.5") struck the ideal balance for me, providing ample space for notes during my numerous meetings while allowing for organized page layouts. Utilizing a gel pen on its pages, I've had no ink bleed-through issues. The inclusion of a page definer offers a more sophisticated alternative to my previous adhesive tabs, and the elastic band closure ensures my notes remain secure, even during travels. I also made a wise decision by opting for the soft cover, which offered flexibility for storage in my purse or bag while maintaining its durability. Although the selection boasted an array of colors, I settled on classic black, a timeless choice that complements any setting. My initial experience with the Moleskine brand has been highly satisfactory, delivering style and functionality beyond my expectations.

I used to get Five Star notebooks all the time because they have a nice rugged cover, a lot of paper, and tend to be able to withstand a beating. While I still have fivestar for scratch paper, the Moleskin notebook is by and large both more stylish, and sturdier. From my first purchase, I've since bought several Moleskins and have yet to be disappointed. I like that it has the built in marker, and the strap to help keep it shut. One of the most annoying things is when you are packing and a piece of paper in the notebook gets snagged and either rips or gets crumpled. The strap helps keep the papers together and combined iwth the solid-yet-flexible cover, they are well protected. The color of the paper is also softer on the eyes. It is a yellowish tint, as oppossed to stark white with blue lines. While a bit more expensive than other notebooks you may use, it's easy to see where the money goes. The quality far surpasses other notebooks. If you are just looking for scrap paper or brainstorming paper, go with a $1 notebook. If you want to write notes or thoughts and keep them, this is a good buy.

Can't really find anything better than a Moleskine for writing. Pages are smooth and college lined - if not smaller, so you can fit a lot of words into this book. i've had my current one since early this year and have been writing profusely on both back and front of pages and i'm still not even close to halfway through it. I would suggest not buying this if you are unsure if you'll like it/actually use it very much because the price is quite high and they're are comparable notebooks that are much cheaper. This book is made for a hand-writing lover; the paper is silky and off white with simple grey lines so very minimalist. it hold up well and is great to travel with, plus if you lose it there is a place in the front where you can enter your contact information. I highly recommend this notebook if you are serious about paper or even just like the style, but if you're not sure how much you'll use it, i wouldn't spend so much and i'd spring for a cheaper notebook of a similar style, which are pretty easy to find.

I do drawings for many projects. This works great for protecting them

Love that it lays flat. Really like the B5/XL size, the softcover and that it's thin. I used to buy deconstructed journals but they were twice as thick for the same number of pages. I keep all my journals and the amount of space needed to store them is crazy for my now downsized life. The moleskine will be perfect. This was also a great price.

I use this notebook as a daily journal...or at least, I wish it was daily. Nevertheless, it is a pleasure to write in. It lays almost flat and the paper is of good quality, even a fountain pen does not bleed exceptionally. It is not Clairfontaine quality paper, but it is certainly manageable. The binding is sturdy and has held up well, while the soft cover is a nice supple material that is pleasant to handle. The back cover pocket is very handy for storing notes or other items. The elastic band has held up well and still holds the cover shut. My only complaint with this notebook is that the glue holding the bookmark in has let loose, so I have to be careful not to lose it. This may be just me, however.

This notebook is absolutely perfect. The faux-leather cover is sturdy yet flexible. The paper is ultra-smooth and nice to write on. I write with Pilot G2 pens (the thick, 1.0mm variety) and they do not bleed through as another reviewer said. There's an elastic strap to keep the book closed in my bag, and a cloth bookmark to keep my place. The pocket in the back is bigger than expected, and it looks very professional. Great for both work and school. Overall, this is a very high quality notebook. May be a bit overpriced, but so long as it stands the test of time I will definitely purchase more of them.

I’ve always loved the exceed notebooks, they are silky smooth. I bought this Moleskin notebook excitedly, since I hear it’s a nice notebook of great quality. It did not let me down! The pages are smooth, not as silky smooth in my opinion, but very nice and worth it. The overall notebook is slick and easy to carry, not heavy at all. It comes with a slightly sturdier back pocket (mine came with a sticker!) Unfortunately I mostly only use ballpoint pens so I wouldn’t know about the bleeding as other reviews have suggested. My take on this notebook remains positive as I did not experience complications during shipping and the notebook itself is satisfactory light and smooth to the touch! My reason for 4 stars might have to do with a small bias towards the exceed smoothness :) and sturdiness. (However, in my experience Exceed is not as light as this notebook, which I liked about Moleskine). I will definitely purchase more!

Estoy muy contento con la compra. Es una libreta de pasta blanda y hojas rayadas en papel de alta calidad. Es ligera de peso y se puede escribir hasta el interior de las páginas sin problema. Hay que tener cuidado de no usar plumas de fuente o esferos de tínta húmeda pues se tarda bastante en secar. Tiene un bolsillo en la parte de atras que va muy bien para guardar papeles y documentos.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto perché cercavo un taccuino affidabile, semplice e adatto sia al lavoro che all’uso personale, e il Moleskine Classic a copertina morbida è stato esattamente ciò che speravo. La sensazione al tatto è subito piacevole: copertina flessibile ma resistente, ideale da infilare in borsa o nello zaino senza paura che si rovini. La carta, come sempre con Moleskine, è liscia, elegante e perfetta per scrivere con ogni tipo di penna — non sbava e non trapassa facilmente. Mi piace anche il fatto che si apra completamente, rimanendo ben piatto mentre scrivo: un dettaglio che può sembrare piccolo, ma che fa una grande differenza nell’uso quotidiano. L’elastico di chiusura e la tasca interna sono due extra che apprezzo ogni volta, soprattutto per tenere appunti sciolti o bigliettini. In definitiva è un taccuino essenziale ma di qualità, uno di quelli che viene voglia di riempire pagina dopo pagina. Se amate scrivere, prendere appunti o semplicemente organizzare le idee, non rimarrete delusi.

Soft pages. Light.

I can't use any other notebooks, the quality of Moleskine is unrivalled.

Tout est parfait : le format, la qualité des pages, la couverture. Valeur sûre avec une préférence pour les couverture souple plus maniable (forcément!)
