MoleskineClassic Expanded Notebook, Hard Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Ruled/Lined, Red, 400 PagesThe Forest Stewardship Council

Great quality, lasts me a full year - and I journal multiple pages daily! Just note that the pages are a bit thin (necessary for the quantity, so its not too bulky) so there is some bleedthrough with more gel-based pens. Works amazingly for my purposes, though, this is my second time buying!

It's a Moleskine time-tested and just about as good as it can be. Been using them for years and will use them for many more years

I'm about to finish my 6th one of these, number seven is waiting on the shelf - yes, I'm addicted to them!

Good size, quality paper. Good number of pages.

I started a BuJo in November 2020 (in a Walmart Exceed dot journal) to track all sorts of things and see if I liked it. Well, I decided I did like it and realized that I was going to run out of room quickly. So I went looking for something with enough pages to get me through the year of tracking and other things I wanted to jot down. I don’t doodle or dress it up with fancy stickers or drawings. I just keep it simple and track things, appointments, notes, ideas, etc. I don’t like my journal cluttered. I like my info easy to see. I keep a lot of information in this and I’m finding it’s such a useful tool keeping it all in one place.This was the one. It’s simple and clean looking and I prefer the size over larger or wider journals. Yes, the pages are a little thinner and there is some ghosting, but I don’t care. It’s a trade I’m willing to make to have one journal going the entire year rather than setting up multiple journals through the year and then having to keep track of all of them after I begin another. I’m someone who tracks and looks back frequently so I want everything in one place. If I finish the year and want to continue I will definitely be getting another.I use Pilot Frixion pens, markers and highlighters as well as Sharpie pens in black.I hope this review was helpful!

I use a Moleskine Classic, Lined, Hardcover Notebook for my Bullet Journal each year. The size of the book at 5" x 8.25" fits perfectly as part of my EDC (Every Day Carry). I can design it the way I need so I have much information at hand no matter where I am. I also like the paper used in the book.My current Black 2021 book holds:Index, Medical Information, Doctors & Medical Facilities, Diet (I have multiple health conditions so diet must be watched each day ). Calendar- 4 days on left page, 3 days on right so there's plenty of room to write. Trackers, Family Birthdays, Financial tracking, Book & Movie List for future, Trip Essentials, Gratitude Pages, Routine- day, week, month, Pending orders and more. With anything less than 400 pages, this would not get done.By the way, I have started designing my Red 2022 BuJo and am making improvements in my design.The Moleskine books are the best!

I currently have four Moleskine lined expanded notebooks, 2 black and 2 blue. I noticed a difference in the blue ones pretty quickly. The black notebooks handled my fountain pens just fine. The blue ones were not the same, the very same fountain pens ghosted like crazy. I did a side by side comparison of the two notebooks, the paper is not the same color. I did a blind touch test and the paper feels different to the touch. The "good" notebooks were manufactured in China, the just okay notebooks were manufactured in Vietnam. It is possible that the 16 month difference in the purchase date had something to do with it, but I feel like the country of manufacture is a big clue. The Vietnam notebooks work just fine with Papermate Inkjoy gel pens, but I don't use my fountain pens in them at all anymore. The location is not inside the notebook anywhere, it is only listed in small print on the band that goes around the outside of the book. I love a chunky 400 page notebook, but I will have to find another brand since I can't use my fountain pens in this Moleskine anymore.

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 oneXXL 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.

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 Moleskine. The paper quality is great, build quality is excellent, never fall apart or have the spine break. I love that they've now got the expanded one and I'm able to write more before moving to the next notebook.

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.

It is as advertised, good quality as expected and no issues regarding page thickness using a standard ballpoint/ rollerball - type pen. Solid cover and looks good in hand. No minor faults on it that I could see. So all is good! Delivered promptly and would buy again.

I assume this was a genuine mistake as other reviews are pretty good. However. I received a used Moleskine with the inside cover ripped off and writing on several of the pages. Disappointing.
