Review: Better than Paperblank? - I have had a paperblank notebook and I thought I would try a different brand to see what is was like. I have two paperblanks, one small which I use a lot and carry around with me. The other bigger which I leave at home. The small one has got a bit battered, and the cover has come off from the notebook itself (this is wear and tear). The big one is looking still neat at home on the bookshelf. Now lets talk about size and paper quality- The same size notebook from Moleskine and Paperblanks are different. The depth of the moleskine is much less than that of a paperblank, PLUS it has more pages. I guess this additional thickness comes from the cover. The Moleskin hard cover looks pretty good and sturdy, only time will tell. The quality and thickness of the paper in both appears to be the same. Neither like my fountain pen very much, even though I have a fine nib. The ink shows through on the following page. On the Paperblank, the ink even fades - not sure if it is the fault of the ink though. I have yet to test this on the Moleskine. Both have inside envelope sleeves for storage of things. Moleskine looks very smart / professional, while the Paperblanks have great designs - if size is not too important, then it is a matter of choice of looks as the paper is pretty much the same, but for those who need even the extra couple of mm that the Moleskine can free up in your pocket / small bag then the choice is clear. The weight is about the same.
Review: Excellent notebook with class, style and quality - I've used many notebooks in my time for keeping notes and drawing. You may ask why pay this much for a note book? It's well designed the curved corners that sit flush with the paper itself will stop it catching on other items, it also stop those unsightly dog ears that plague hard back covers the elastic keeps it all together and the ribbon bookmark is extremely handy in keeping your place. The paper grade is excellent, paper is smooth great for writing on, ink stays well, and doesn't run to opposite pages, or bleed through, with 192 pages in this tight package. it's well worth it. It looks great, feels solid, and writes well it's everything you want in a compact notebook, and hell it looks great as plus.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many pages?**
A: The pages aren't numbered but it looks to hold about the same amount as a composition notebook of 100 pages. They are thick pieces of paper.

**Q: How many moles is this?**
A: This has one book included.

**Q: do G2 pens bleed through?**
A: I use G2 pens exclusively with my Moleskine and I don't find that they bleed through, BUT there is some ghosting, particularly with the 0.7 or thicker. The 0.38 is good and doesn't have any bleeding or ghosting but it is too fine a point for my preference so I use the 0.5 and that's a happy compromise. Ghosting is negligible, bleed through non-existent... BUT, to be perfectly, candid, I am almost done with my Moleskine and I won't buy another one. Partly because the paper isn't really conducive to any type of pen other than a rollerball (ugh): I primarily use fountain pens and the Moleskine is horrible for those and the gel pens (I only use G2 when I use a gel pen) leaves little globs of gel on the paper so I do get a lot of smudging. Doesn't happen with my Rhodia books (my preference) or the couple of STM (Scribbles that Matter) books I've tried.

**Q: Does this open to lay flat? Do you need anything to hold it down so it lays flat when opened?**
A: It lays flat once it's been opened a few times. I don't remember having any issues with mine when I bought it, and I have it with me right now!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic notebook
*by G***R on 23 November 2009*

I have used Moleskine pocket ruled notebooks for a few years and decided to leave a review. I don't tend to buy such products because Hemmingway used them, or they may/may not have appeared in Indiana Jones films. I buy them because they are a sturdy, yet discreet notebook. The paper quality is excellent - of course, if you're going to use a heavy marker or pen, then it's going to show through. I find using a simple biro/ball point works really well and doesn't show through. The main thing is that I can carry the notebook around and there's plenty of pages to me going for several months. It hardly costs the earth, so if you're unsure, just buy one. You won't regret it. If you want to look like a ponce or pretend you're some great writer, then I'd suggest you buy one of the more expensive brands that are available. This isn't the notebook for you.
