Moleskine Classic Hard Cover Notebook Extra Large Plain Sapphire Blue

These notebooks are a little on the expensive side but their color options and durability keep me coming back for new ones. The binding is tight and I’ve never had issues with any of the paper falling out. Some of them have a pocket where you can keep receipts or tickets or whatever else you may want to keep. This size is perfect for me, cost 24$, and is acid free.

Best Journals for Writers

I use Moleskine journals exclusively//daily and am so happy that Blick always has them in stock. The weight of the paper is perfect for writing, collaging, and doodling making these perfect for multimedia artists or just journaling. I wish Blick offered a wider selection of colors, but this is great!! #sweepstakes

Classic Large Hard Cover Notebook Plain / Black

This is the best notebook I have ever had. It is probably the 7th or 8th one of mine. The off-white pages are of high quality with no lines. The binding is solid and durable while pleasant with rounded corners.

Great product I just wished they made 100% cotton versions

The price is average but the quality is great, it is nicely assembled and glued. The journals lasts for a long time. The paper for the sketchbook is smooth yet soft at the same time, which means that graphite really penetrates into the paper. Inks and fountain pens also work nice on the paper, the ink does not go through unless you add a lot with a brush(in that case buy the watercolor version). The tone is warm white, leaning towards a khaki color which means that if you take it outside it will not hurt or tire your eyes under direct sunlight. Conte and charcoal work really nice but add fixative unless you want your conte or charcoal drawings to smear. Soft Pastel is not recommendable.The price is average, and I did wish Moleskine made one that is 100% cotton. ... MoreThe price is average but the quality is great, it is nicely assembled and glued.

This ones are 25% cotton and the rest is wood pulp acid free paper, which means it will not yellow over time but cotton is better as it can last longer. Perhaps the cotton version would be called Art Journal.

Overpriced

I bought this journal to start bullet journalling this year, as it was the only option available in store at the time of purchase.Pages are very thin, think like slightly thicker bible paper. Everything will ghost or bleed, including normal weighted pencil. I seriously do not understand what this journal is for if even my rough sketches with an HB pencil showed through to the next page.The Modena option, which is the same (bar maybe a few less pages), is literally half the price of this thing. Do not bother wasting your money on the Moleskine brand name.I've attatched photos of my pen tests so you can see and judge for yourself the ghosting bleeding for your intended mediums 👍

Pretty journal

I wanted a nice journal that I could enjoy for a long time. This journal is beautiful and functional. I love the color especially. I will say that the price is high considering that it’s just a journal, but I know the brand is reputable. I’m sure you could find similar for less money, but I’m happy with my purchase.

Quality has dropped again

I have been buying these planners for several years & the paper gets noticeably thinner each year. As I switched from 2023 to 2024, the difference was shocking! Unfortunately, this will be the last time I buy a Moleskine planner.

Talk about a journaling MUST HAVE

This bullet journal is the cat’s meow when it comes to quality, price point, and sleek appearance! The cover is a hard leather material that protects the pages well. It has a pocket on the back cover to hold any documents you wish to keep handy! I use this journal every single day, and I think my favorite thing about it is the fact that my pens don’t bleed through the pages. There is nothing more frustrating than bleed through, but this journal showed to be the best at not doing that! The pages are soft and pens glide so well overtop of them. The best part though? These journals are made from recycled materials, and we LOVE that! If you’re looking to truly get going in bullet journaling or any journaling journey, look no further. Moleskine will forever have my ... MoreThis bullet journal is the cat’s meow when it comes to quality, price point, and sleek appearance!

The best notebook for daily note takers.

I have used this exact notebook daily for the past five years. I go through one notebook every two months, as I am an avid note taker. The quality is what brings me back every time to moleskine.

heavy bleeding and ghosting

I just bought this journal yesterday to start a bullet journal and I am very disappointed. I got this because it was recommended among bullet journalers and I thought it would be great for a beginner bullet journal like myself. I am unimpressed because the first page I used a staples fine liner pen in black and a blue tombow brush pen and the fineliner bled through completely. The whole page had a lot of ghosting and I was unable to write on the next page because of it. I then used a basic rollerball pen in black and lightly wrote on the next page and even then there was visible ghosting. It also looks as through I pushed hard on the rollerball pen yet I only wrote lightly. Overall I regret buying this journal but i’m trying to make the most of it as it was $20 and ... MoreI just bought this journal yesterday to start a bullet journal and I am very disappointed.
