Moleskine Cahier Journal, Soft Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Ruled/Lined, Black, 80 Pages (Set of 3)

Excellent size, form, and quality. Format of the pages with room for later annotations is very useful. My go-to for taking real-yime interview notes.

I bought this to fit a Franklin Covey journal cover, setup for 8.5X11. Franklin sold the leather cover for years, then stopped selling the refills. My requirements were simple, an 8.5x11 notebook with heavier pages that I could write on both sides. I read the review that said gel pens weren't a problem, then read this from the mfr:"Moleskine's thick, ivory paper pages in a hardcover Moleskine notebook, softcover Moleskine notebook, cahier or volant journal, or Moleskine planner are perfectly textured for writing with a ballpoint pen, fountain pen, or pencil."First off the pages aren't that thick, they’re thin enough so that any pressure on one side of the page distorts the back side. And just using a gel pen is dark enough to the extent that if you write on both sides the text is clearly visible from each side. So I have to use a standard pen or pencil, which works better, but the pages are still raised on the other side just by the pressure of the pen/pencil. I bought four of these notebooks, two sets, so I guess I'll be leaving the backside of the pages blank, giving me the use of only half the pages. (Actually, I sent two back, but am using the other opened pack.)The covers are very nice, as is the pocket, and the layout is OK, although I would have preferred simple lined pages.Forget using a gel pen on both sides, although a single side is fine. A fountain pen would probably bleed through not only the back of the page you're writing on, but to the "thick, ivory paper" below it.Excluding the first two calendar pages you get 78 useful pages and they look good in ivory, and the cover is excellent.Originally I gave this 3 stars, but after using it for a few weeks am upgrading it to 4.I attach a pic of the back of the second page so you can see what I mean. That’s using a pilot roller ball pen.

I use moleskin notebooks like this as a journal of sorts, and since I've used them before, already knew that if you use a pen or marker, there will be bleed through. Markers, especially, will make a mess. But since I usually am using a mechanical pencil or a fine point pen, I haven't had much of a problem with bleed-through. However, when I'm using a pen, I can usually only use one side of a two-sided notebook page, and that is something that all buyers should be aware of.These are a perfect size for a backpack or tote bag. In fact, one tote that I sometimes use is a bit narrower than others I have, and these notebooks fit into it perfectly, saving me the hassle of having to switch out the totes before I can carry my "idea books". Because that's what I use them for. And they are perfect for that. The notebooks are lightweight, the covers are extremely durable, and I can sit with one on my lap and make notes for however long I need to without any problems.I will definitely purchase these again. I have deducted one star from this review because of being able to use only one side of the pages when I'm writing with a heavier ink pen. Otherwise, these notebooks would have received five stars.

I was very pleased with this purchase because I was looking for a full size notebook to allow me to capture notes from meetings. This supplements my daily planner and allows me to capture notes from key meetings each day. I was very happy with the quality of the notebook and the layout makes it very easy to capture the information I need. I would recommend this product to others.

Bendable cover that looks sturdy but time will tell. Bought these to take notes during my visits to customer appointments. Looks nicer than a spiral notebook. Hate the fact that they put a dateless calendar in the front pages.

i love the academic layout of the pages. it does bleed through so you can only use the front side of each page.

I’m usually a soft-cover only kind of journal user but I wanted something with structured pages for my college course notes. I love the layout of the pages, for the ability to rewrite notes in the margins while studying. The sheerness of the pages is a little worrying, but easily managed with bleed-free pens. The sheerness does have the advantage of creating extra guidelines to use when structuring your notes.I’m a big fan of Moleskine products and this journal meets my high expectations for the brand.

Like everyone else has mentioned, the pages are THIN. even minor writing with a ballpoint indents the pages behind it. I put a scratch piece of paper between sheets when i write and it still sorta digs through. It's not earth shattering as i just use these as a sorta weekly task sorter, but i'd be more aggravated if i was doing serious writing as it be borderline useless. Not really in love with the huge blank block and line layout of these, but it was super cheap for 2 when i bough them (13) and Im not writing pages of notes. The cover is not incredibly sturdy either. Much more flimsy and prone to denting than my old Evernote Cahier notebook.If you're doing serious note taking with pages of notes i'd recommend not getting this and looking for more quality alternative.

Me llegaron los cuadernos dañados de las esquinas. Moleskine es una gran marca, pero no sé de quién fue culpa que llegaron doblados. En algún momento del traslado los maltrataron.

Il top per organizzare appunti e note; ideale per studio e lavoro, ottimo anche per annotazioni e riflessioni diaristiche. Meravigliosa la carta e l'impaginazione.

Ich hab mir die Hefte fürs Studium besorgt und liebe sie. Für meine Art des Zusammenfassens der Studienhefte sind sie wie gemacht. Ich hoffe, sie werden die nächsten Jahren nicht aus dem Programm genommen.

Returned a same item from a different seller because it was damaged during shipping. I’m baffled these aren’t shipped in a box.It’s a moleskin so the product is excellent.

Pre-formatted in the Cornell note taking style. These notebooks are the best. No, point in buying cheap notebooks that you will never use. The paper is great, no ink bleed through with my fountain pens.
