Best notebook!
Best notebook — I use it daily for my to-do lists. I always rebuy from this brand. The hard cover is super durable, and I love how many pages it has so I don’t have to repurchase as often.

Fantastic Addition to Journal Line
I want to follow up on the reviews saying the paper quality has gone down. It's not a quality issue, it's a page weight issue. The normal Moleskine journals use a heavier weight of paper. This expanded journal requires a lighter page weight because of the thickness of the spine. 400 pages is a behemoth when it comes to journals. Reducing the page weight reduces the heaviness of the journal itself while still maintaining the high-quality binding and cover. That said, I've filled 300 pages of this journal in just over a month and I'm already ordering my next. I don't think I will ever go back to the standard versions. I've been using the lined expanded with G2 pens and it's been the perfect combination. I've even used BIC Briteliners over the G2 ink with minimal ghosting. I own fountain pens (and love to use them) but I experienced ghosting on the standard journals. With the page weight in mind, I simply won't use them here knowing the page thickness isn't the same. I love what Moleskine has done and hope this line is here to stay. I'll try to experiment with a soft cover soon, but I love the hardcover with how thick this spine is. I sincerely hope this helps clarify! Happy writing!

This Moleskine notebook took its vitamins!
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 one XXL 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.

Great notebook
Classic and durable. Love the smoothness of the notebook cover. Yeah it’s pricier than most but the quality is so much better. Would recommend

Always love moleskines
I love the thin pages and how minimalistic the overall aesthetic is. I haven't had issues with bleeding but I have heard from friends about the same complaints in other reviews about bleeding through pages. Consistent qc would be great for how much these cost. I continue to love these notebooks. They're the perfect size for notes or journaling

Moleskine Classic Expanded Hard Cover Notebooks are the only books for MY ANNUAL BULLET JOURNAL!
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!

Great quality as expected!
Great notebook as can be expected from moleskine! It has two bookmarks in it as it’s a thicker notebook which is handy.

The best. A classic.
I purchase these for journaling and have for many years. I found a cheaper brand that looked almost identical, but I came back to this brand because the quality just wasn’t the same. The paper feel is very smooth (I use a fountain pen) and doesn’t bleed through. The leather cover holds up well. I like the new expanded size (extra pages) and the line spacing is smaller than most notebooks so you can fit more per page. The off-white pages are also nice on the eye. I used to buy the soft cover but switched to this hard cover as I find it better for journaling on the go. I will never make the mistake of buying cheaper. You get what you pay for.

Thick notebook to Write Stories
This versatile Moleskine Expanded notebook serves as a comprehensive hub for all my notes, from work logs to personal musings. With a generous 400 pages, it offers ample space for extensive documentation. The 70 GSM paper accommodates fountain pens with fine nibs effortlessly. Medium nibs may also be used, but ink selection can influence bleed-through. While suitable for fine and most medium nibs, this notebook isn't ideal for calligraphy or broader nibs due to potential show-through and feathering.
