Moleskine - Classic Expanded Dotted Paper Notebook - Hard Cover and Elastic Closure Journal - Color Black - Size Large 13 x 21 A5 - 400 PagesThe Forest Stewardship Council

Nice size notebook with a flexible cover that looks and feels like leather but isn't. The paper is fairly thin, great quality with little to no bleed through, a sharpie pen did show through though. It has an opening pocket at the back that is really useful and does hold quite a bit. There are two different colour ribbons and an elastic to hold the book closed when not in use.I have used this book out door and it rained so the page became wet, it dried of really well with hardly any wrinkling which I was very impressed by.The paper is a lovely pale cream colour which is easier on the eye, and it is sewn at the spine, not glued.Overall this book is great and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a good quality note book.

I have been trying out a variety of notebook systems the past few years.Prior to the Classic Expanded size, I was using the Classic regular hardcover and I liked the versatility in that you create your own templates for planning but I was getting through a fair few of the non-expanded version so chose to try out the expanded.I find the Classic size perfect, and the expanded version is loads better than the original and saves on needing to re-purchase too.I have the soft cover, it's getting battered and bruised (well loved and used daily) and I'm around halfway through my second one now.The paper is not the greatest thickness. However, I don't mind a little bit of bleed through and i don't use heavy inks nor a fountain pen. Just some felt tips, highlighters, some brush pens and a ballpoint.I use the dotted version and I like the creamy coloured paper.I love that there's so many pages and also could not do without the two bookmarkers, plus, the elastic closure goes without saying - no one wants creased pages when your notebook fell open in your bag.

This is my favourite notebook after trying many of the top brands. I love the paper, the size (slightly narrower than the A5) and now it comes in this thicker size too. I keep it for bullet journaling - the paper does ghost with my wider fountain pen nibs but once the reverse of the paper is written on it’s not noticeable really. This is my favourite brand. The paper is more cream than white, again something else that I like.

So basically I bought this because people have used watercolour on them and that's what I wanted it for. Please please do not buy it if you want to use watercolour. It crinkles the page and it doesn't look very nice. But the rest of it I like, the book is well made and it really decent for pencil sketches. I am yet to use marks/pens on it yet.

I love it, but there is this stupid little defect it came with that bothers me. There is this extra piece of cover that pushed trough the first 10 pages and created a bump basically.I'm gonna use it as a work diary so it won't bother me after a while.

Arrived on time. Appears of high quality make. The cover was of a nice thickness and the lines on the pages were nice and clear (can see them well), unlike some other notebooks I have bought. Will definitely be buying again when I finish with this one.

I use Moleskine notebooks all the time and have always wanted more pages. Now I have, thanks to the expanded version. It's expensive, but it's worth it.

I used this for everything. It’s my bullet journal, ideas journal, diary. When I first got it, I was shocked at how slim it was considering the size comparison picture I saw before buying it - so compact. I also love the books flexibility as it allows the pages to lay flat. I just wish that it had numbered pages because I like to split the book into sections and it would’ve be quicker with numbered pages. But to be honest, I’m till going to get another one either way, after this one finishes. 10/10
