I have one of these notebooks for every class I take in school. They are absolutely perfect. They are just the right size, so they easily fit in my back without creating extra bulk. They make one appear quite suave and trendy, and they sacrifice no functionality while doing so. The paper is a wonderful texture, and the cover can take quite a beating. They've lasted me a little over 7 months so far, with many more months to come.

hmmm this is not the best journal ever. When it arrived I thought it was, but now that I have had the journal for a while it pales in comparison to the normal moleskin journals. the cover is made out of cardboard paper. it's more like a pamphlet than a journal.

I've been on the hunt for a good sized, soft cover sketchbook with decent pages lately, and I thought I'd found the perfect item here, however...

These are NOT imitation leather. They have paper covers. Granted, it's a thicker, almost paper-board paper, but it's still paper. I'd been using Modeskin books, which have a pleather cover and are fabulous, but they don't come in larger sizes, so I thought I'd luck out on this one.

These are not bad books however - the paper is nice, and they are well put together - I just don't think they'll hold up to a beating from being carried everywhere, or from having anything dropped/spilled on them.

Still on the search, sigh.

I only write on one side of the page, so these are the perfect thickness(thinness?) for me. I hate ruled notebooks, especially for math classes, just can't bear them. They're not the most sturdy, no where close to the hardcover Moleskines but they work fine for me. I just wished they offered their leather-ish cover, separately, so that I can put these cahiers in, when I'm done with them I can use that same sturdy cover for the new ones.....oh well. I'll attach a pic of my setup. I have a sheet of lined manila folder cut to the dimensions to use as a backing. The notebook paper is thin enough that I can use the printed lines on the manila sheet as a guide, but I can ignore if I want to.
These are probably the closest I'll get to what I'm looking for, for the price.

Good set of journals for the price. I was looking for something decent and fairly inexpensive and found just that. Cover and pages are a little thinner than I would like but overall a really good deal.

I use the plain paper version with the black cover. The plain paper enables me to write and draw to explain and diagram ideas. I gave it 4 stars as the paper is thin for a roller-ball pen, so I use a ball-point or pencil.

This is a good quality journal for the price the pages are well thick and the pouch in the back comes in handy when you have losse sheets.
