Love this book, use it everyday to record my meetings Paper is very rewarding to write on makes you want to write more

I've been using and loving Moleskine notebooks for years, they are great quality notebooks! This particular advert states A4 but has the dimensions of the XL which is much smaller than A4. The first one I ordered this year was the proper A4, but the second was the smaller version, I sent it back and a new smaller version was sent out... I'm not happy as it does state A4 and I didn't think I needed to get a ruler out to start checking measurements, but obviously that is the case now. As much as I love them they are very expensive for what they are so only 3* for value for money but will probably be looking at alternatives now I know I'm paying even more for the A4 size...

Bought as a secret santa gift for my boss. He loved it, has been well used since. The quality feels lovely from the cover to the pages themselves. The paper has a nice thickness so writing on it is very smooth.

We're on our third or forth moleskin diary. There are cheaper options, but we like these particularly ones.

Pros: - Writing in these notebooks feels great, I am now into my second one - Page size is just right for my purpose, at about 90% of A4 - Lovely soft cover and elastic hold, and pocket for some loose folded paper in the back Cons: - Price feels a little steep. I paid £12.14, and I think £9.99 would be the sweet spot and might have added that 5th star to my review!

Great quality product, they’re not cheap but then neither is the quality, I keep coming back to them, especially as I use a fountain pen a lot, the ink doesn’t spread which shows it’s quality.

I will start this review by saying I do like a nice Moleskine notebook/diary. This notebook is a great size (a little less than A4 but still good sizes pages) and the paper is a nice texture and thickness. I write with a fine nibbed fountain pen using black ink and, at times, the ink is visible on the reverse of the page - normally nothing more than a hint of ink where I have paused shows through. The weight of the paper means this is a reasonably thick notebook, but it still slips neatly into my 13 inch laptop soft cover (alongside my laptop) with no problems. As has been said this is a soft covered notebook, all XL Moleskines are I believe; that said the cover is robust enough to withstand the average rucksack of a student, although, if you are looking to write without resting the book on a desk etc you may want to look at the hardcover books in Moleskine size "large". However I prefer these notebooks as the soft cover makes opening the book flat and writing up to the centre line very easy - no wasted paper! The lines on the paper are a little wider than a standard narrow ruled page, I can understand some people may find the lines too narrow, however they seem spot on for me - I think they actually help me to keep my writing neater as I concentrate a little more! A nice feeling of permanence too - this is not a notebook for fleeting thoughts, this is a notebook for lasting memories.

Typical Moleskin high quality. Premium feel. Very soft back so bear that on kind. You can purchase a separate hard back model if required.

Best notebooks for work notes. I only use these and have a ton of them filled up. The paper quality is great, the soft cover holds up, and they’re the perfect size to carry around. If you take a lot of notes, these are worth it.

Ich verwende das Moleskine seit Jahren auf der Arbeit für Notizen. Das Notizbuch ist absolut hochwertig und sieht einfach gut aus. Ich habe es schon mehrfach über die Jahre bestellt und bisher immer gute Qualität gehabt (bspw. haben sich noch nie Blätter gelöst wie es bei billigen Notizbüchern bei mir häufiger vorkam). Der Preis ist natürlich schon hoch, aber Qualität kostet halt.

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.
