Moleskine Classic Notebook, Soft Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Ruled/Lined, Scarlet Red, 192 pages

I have not yet seen the Moleskine's equal in mass-produced notebooks. It would be easy to find a notebook with better cover material and more posh binding, but Moleskine really has nailed high-quality functionality. It is the perfect size, making writing and reading easy while still being nicely portable. It fits in nearly every bag and some large pants pockets (especially cargo pockets), and the soft cover allows it to conform to the shape of your body and helps protect it from tear, crease, and squash damage. Finally, it is beautifully, durably, and practically designed. I am always proud to carry my Moleskine (Makes a wonderful gift, too!) Absolutely worth the investment for the avid journaler or simply one who appreciates fine notebooks.

Love that it lays flat. Really like the B5/XL size, the softcover and that it's thin. I used to buy deconstructed journals but they were twice as thick for the same number of pages. I keep all my journals and the amount of space needed to store them is crazy for my now downsized life. The moleskine will be perfect. This was also a great price.

Update 2/19: The bookmark string fell out of the notebook. I will be returning these.Update 2/17 : After trying to use this notebook for a week, I am updating from 3 stars to 2. It took me a week to realize a super powerful detergent smell (think the cheapest powdered laundry soap you can buy) has been filling my office, and it is coming from the top cover of the notebook. Only the top. It came sealed in plastic and didn't have any obvious damage.Original Review 2/9: I've been using Moleskine notebooks and sketchbooks for over 10 years consistently, for personal and professional purposes. I recently bought two new notebooks and noticed immediately the ink printing of the lines is a dark gray instead of the previous light gray. When compared to the 2019 notebook I purchased it is not only darker, the page is also slightly thicker and and has a more rough texture. I'm extremely disappointed in these small changes.I emailed Moleskine directly asking about the changes and they replied "In regards to your inquiry, we apologize for the inconvenience in which you have encountered." and offered no explanation or solution. I would advise spending your money elsewhere.Still a fine notebook if you just need something that looks slick and holds together, but don't expect to receive the same product you've been using in the past, and it may fall apart... and smell bad.

Ran into a counterfeit from Amazon but this is the real thing. I like the graph paper, the envelope in the back, the elastic fits this time (YAY!!!!). I use one about every year. I love this one.

This notebook is actually 8.25" x 5.25" not 8.25" x 5" as advertised, making it too wide for the *WIDE* TN I bought it to go in. I can't get it cut down, either, due to the back pocket. Also, there is significant bleed through with fountain pen ink and ghosting with other inks. The ghosting doesn't bother me, but people pay $15 for a notebook for a reason, and this notebook checks none of the potential boxes to make it worth the money.

Exactly what I ordered.

I use it everyday for work and taking notes. Its durable, looks beautiful and pages feel buttery smooth!

The book was very well made, blank pages, good quality paper and lies flat

This is my favourite journal of all time! I love having large, blank pages to write on. It's so high quality, and the colour is life-giving.

A great everyday notebook with a sleek design!
