Beautiful and Classic!
I absolutely love the Moleskine line of notebooks and the dot grid is my favorite layout. Minimal bleedthrough on the pages and strong woven pages make this a perfect choice for avid journalers, especially if you prefer to use an ink gel pen. The cover stands up to travel, getting tossed around in a bag, and repeated opening/closing. Don’t skimp when it comes to a journal and go with this brand; you won’t regret it.

Great notebook
High quality. Pages are thin. Great size and lays flat which is nice.

Awesome journal
I love the feel of the paper even though the paper is not the highest gsm. I am okay with the ghosting and some bled through of some pens/markers. The hardcover journal feels good in my hand and I plan on getting more. The issues that I have is that for being a Prime member, the shipment takes much too long so I will buy my next journal from a different retailer who ships faster even if I have to pay a few dollars more. I expect more from Amazon being a long-term member.

I love how it feels
It feels great both paper and cover, but when writing with pen you can see the other side of the page of where I sketched in pen for architecture class. However it was recommended to me for this class so ig it alright.

Bleeds through
This is my second moleskin! I didn’t expect this one to bleed through however, so I was really surprised when it happened. I was using a pilot g2-07 (black gel ink rollerball) to write. My previous one didn’t bleed as much (I didn’t buy that one on amazon if it matters), and if I knew about this one bleeding through I would’ve tried another brand/branch out instead.Update (January 6th, 2019): It does bleed through, but once you write on both sides it doesnât look as bad as it would be with only one page written.

Top tier quality
Moleskin is well known as one of the best notebooks you can get, and this lives up to that reputation. The best things I love about it is the portable, discreet size and the dots. If only they made a spiral bound version of this, then that might be the greatest notebook of all times!! S!!

Versatile notebook, Great for anything you’d need it for!
I purchased this notebook because I wanted to start bullet journaling. The Leuchtturm 1917 seems to be the most popular notebook for the bullet journal method, but I actually wanted a notebook that DIDN’T have pre-numbered pages or an index page already in there. I’m loving this one so far! I’ve had moleskines in the past so I’m not worried about the durability. I love that it is dotted because it allows much more freedom for the user to do whatever they want with it, as opposed to the grid and ruled types that are very structured and rigid (and frankly, an eyesore to look at). Something to keep an eye out for is ink bleeding or being visible through the pages, so if you’re worried about any fountain pens or markers you like to use, you can set aside a page just for testing those out. I only wish that this notebook was more readily available; it doesn’t seem to be available in stores anywhere (I’ve only seen the soft cover dotted ones available in store, not the hard cover). From what I’ve seen, the dotted hard cover also only seems to be available in black and not any other colors (though the soft cover dotted ones come in a variety of colors). I’m really hoping that they become more easily available because I don’t plan on buying any other kind of notebook for my bullet journaling!

It’s absolutely awesome and is essentially my life
I use this as my bullet journal. It’s absolutely awesome and is essentially my life. Great paper, great binding. Has a pocket to hold loose papers/business cards/etc. The cover is strong, comes with a well secured bookmark ribbon and elastic band for keeping the book shut when not in use. I’d highly recommend this product as a journal, planner, notebook, poetry book, doodle book, etc. Truly a quality product and worth the extra cost over a generic notebook in my opinion.
Me gustó el tamaño, ideal para llevarlo en la bolsa, y el papel. –
Me gustó mucho el cuaderno. Elegante presentación. Muy bien

Caderno compacto com elástico e fita marcadora de página. Capa dura de muito boa qualidade. Páginas com folhas pontilhadas e papel ótima qualidade também. Perfeito para agendas do estilo “Bullet Journal”.

Can’t go wrong with Moleskine notebooks. They’re a great product especially for product designers. They’re also super compact and have a reasonable amount of paper space and can fit in many different sized bags. The grid paper allows you to draw diagrams and take notes well.

High quality Moleskine. Love the hard cover so it holds well even when thrown into bag and good size.
