Moleskine S01143 13 x 21 cm Classic Plain Paper Notebook Hard Cover and Elastic Closure Journal - Black

Sheets are thin. You can’t use fountain pens.

as you can tell by the headline I'm dumb, the paper is thin and the cover is good, but its not what I thought it was, I was expecting the art sketchbook moleskin book, but got this instead I didn't read the description, I just ordered it, other than my stupidity, its a great little book, and I still plan on using it as a sketchbook, I read plain paper and clicked in the order button, other than that I like it, although I think if I decide to add some paint it will bleed through the pages so that sucks. THIS IS NOT A SKETCHBOOK THE PAPER IS THIN.

A brand with a namesake worth fighting for. Hemingway, Picasso, you name it, and I bet they used or at least thought about using one as a note or sketchbook. The man-ual, the myth, the legend, as they say.

Two reviews a fast one and a very detailed one. Fast review: Nice amount of pages, sleek and resistant cover, good quality paper, useful internal pouch. Very detailed one: So, let's truly examine this notebook. First of all, this is not my first time having a moleskine, therefore, some things I could truly test since some time. Let's begin with the paper. A thing that many complain is about the paper quality, and truly, it's not bad. Maybe a little thin for some persons, but definitely not bad. The paper has also a kind of light yellowish hue to itself, so if you are writing, or even reading something you wrote down and you're under a strong sun, it isn't a problem. The second thing that some complain is that the paper doesn't hold ink very well and it smears a lot. Truth is, depends. I already tried a good sort of pens, nib pens and fountain pens on this one. I had problems just with one specific pen that had liquid ink, but I had problems with this pen on every notebook I had, therefore, I don't think this aplies. Seriously, if you buy one, take the first page to test it and find the pen - or pencil; a 4B will do very nice to draw in this kind of paper - you're more comfortable and go with it. Now for the cover. It is very resistant and it surely can take and especially, give, a beating. When a doofus - that you have the misfortune of calling a friend - destroys - on purpose - not only the drawing you spent hours to make and was in the middle of inking with a nib pen, but also, almost twenty pages of your notebook, it will be nice to hear the loud sound of the full cover hitting his face. Seriously, not only you'll be sure that it hurt, but as well that your cover is intact. Still on the cover, it's also pretty simple, but nice enough to call attention - if you're looking for it or not - and pass as a book if you put it into your bookshelf. The rubberband that holds the cover is also one of the best qualities I ever saw. You can leave it in the sun for hours and multiple times and it will still hold the cover. On a last note, the page mark ribbon is smooth to the touch. To end this babbling, it's an excelent notebook. Sure thing it's just a notebook, but it's a good quality one that can endure many probations. Ah! One more thing. I know it's pretty but it is still a notebook, write in it.

La realidad es que me equivoqué al pedirlo jajaja quería el de arte y pedí el clásico, aún así me funciona para dibujar! Jajajajsj solo uso un lado de la hoja, pero la vida sigue.

It has a great build quality and it's classic Moleskine, but the paper is so thin that there's nothing I can write in it without it ruining the next 3 or 4 pages. I don't think I'm pressing my pencils unreasonably hard either. Bummer!
