Classic Expanded Notebook, Hard Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Ruled/Lined, Black, 400 Pages

Best notebook — I use it daily for my to-do lists. I always rebuy from this brand. The hard cover is super durable, and I love how many pages it has so I don’t have to repurchase as often.

perfect notebook. ink doesn’t bleed through and the notebook is exceptional quality for the cost. moleskine is the only journal i’ll use.

Always a classic. I keep these around for meetings and misc notes throughout my day.

I was very pleased to find a 400 page Moleskine notebook for a seriously reasonable price. If you're a fan of Moleskine or are curious about them, I encourage you to try this one. There are enough pages to keep all of your notes for one class, or workshop or series together in a professional looking notebook. There's even a pocket in the back for handouts, business cards; anything you want to keep with the notes. The line spacing is perfect. I've always admired Moleskine for their durability. The paper does not tear too easily. It's thick enough for ink or pencil. Drawings are easy with this notebook. I usually use colored pencils and have had no problems with tearing or ink bleedthrough. The notebook is large enough that it won't get lost in your bag or backpack. But it's small enough to fit easily in a tote with plenty of room for other necessities. I've also purchased the 18 month 3x5" soft notebook planner , a set of 3 5x8.25" soft cover notebooks and one XXL 8.5x11" notebook. All of them have served me well. Even in this electronic age, I prefer to take written notes and Moleskine notebooks and planners are perfect for the task at hand.

I want to follow up on the reviews saying the paper quality has gone down. It's not a quality issue, it's a page weight issue. The normal Moleskine journals use a heavier weight of paper. This expanded journal requires a lighter page weight because of the thickness of the spine. 400 pages is a behemoth when it comes to journals. Reducing the page weight reduces the heaviness of the journal itself while still maintaining the high-quality binding and cover. That said, I've filled 300 pages of this journal in just over a month and I'm already ordering my next. I don't think I will ever go back to the standard versions. I've been using the lined expanded with G2 pens and it's been the perfect combination. I've even used BIC Briteliners over the G2 ink with minimal ghosting. I own fountain pens (and love to use them) but I experienced ghosting on the standard journals. With the page weight in mind, I simply won't use them here knowing the page thickness isn't the same. I love what Moleskine has done and hope this line is here to stay. I'll try to experiment with a soft cover soon, but I love the hardcover with how thick this spine is. I sincerely hope this helps clarify! Happy writing!

I love the thin pages and how minimalistic the overall aesthetic is. I haven't had issues with bleeding but I have heard from friends about the same complaints in other reviews about bleeding through pages. Consistent qc would be great for how much these cost. I continue to love these notebooks. They're the perfect size for notes or journaling

Quality, Quality, Quality! Moleskin is always me go to.

If you take notes - old school style and you like pages that don't smear or run you cannot beat the quality of a Moleskin notebook. These are the ONLY notebooks I buy!
