I do not understand all the hype about Moleskine. Is it just because of their history? Well maybe they used to be really good, but mine has very smooth paper that doesn’t soak up the ink very well, so if I don’t let it dry for a while (maybe 20 seconds) before closing the cover or fliping the page, it will smear on the opposite page. This is not anywhere near the high quality I was led to believe I’d be getting. And it is not the ink I am using either. I use the same pens on a host of other journals and notebooks and only one is as bad as this (odly enough, it is a Moleskine knockoff from Target, but at least it has a real leather cover). No it is just cheap paper with no ‘teeth’. Still I like the size, it is a perfect size for what I am using it for and the hard cover makes it easier to write in, so I will continue to use it, but I won’t be buying any more of their journals. I actually bought one of the folios before I’d realized the deficiencies with this one, but I will be returning it (in addition the folio has the same very tight line spacing which is ok for the little book, but not so much for a large desk book). In any case, there are a ton of superior quality journals out there, just go to Barnes and Noble, and almost everything on the journals rack is superior to Moleskine, And much of it is comperable in price. For one of the nicest journals I have ever used, I would highly recomend the Gallery Leather (from Maine USA) travel journal. It is super nice quality, nubuck leather soft bound (thin cover which is nice and plyable) sits flat, and the paper is very nice and with just the right tooth for writing. It is far superior to the Moleskine and at the same list price (though the G.L. journals rarely if ever go on sale, but that is because they are allready reasonably priced for the quality). The only thing I am aware of by Moleskine that is actually pretty good is the sketch books. They have thicker paper and a bigger tooth. Other wise, I would recomend just about anything over a moleskine, given the high cost to quality ratio.

Whether writing random thoughts while on an airplane, making a sketch while on vacation, or taking all important notes in that business meeting, all who are in your presence will take note of the small but sleek notebook you are writing in. While soemwhat of a throwback to the days when people wrote on real paper with real ink, its’ timelessness captivates the imagination, spurring the owner to write more and more in the pages.

this is my 10th or so moleskine notebook. i always get the same kind. i used to get a different kind of diary each time until i found moleskine. i use a fountain pen, and the pages are so creamy, in feeling and color, that it’s a real joy to use. i have no plans on looking for anything new for a long time. hope they never go out of business!
