Reviews around quality (4.77 of 5)

  • The quality of notebook paper these days is pretty bad, and you can tell by feeling the pages
  • It bleeds, dents, frays, and rips as if it were designed to do that
  • The quality of paper inside is so good, it's smooth and thick
  • And they are of good quality and so is the cover and pocket
  • I understand that like all else, production cost plays an important part in today's economy (these are now produced in China instead of Italy), but I for one, will no longer use this item which has truly lost its well known quality

  • I love this, and it's fantastic quality, and very good looking art journal.
  • This is a good journal compared to what else is out there, but not great compared to other Moleskine products.
  • great sketchbook / journal, have purchased several of these, nice quality, good value
  • Other than the color, it's really good quality and the journal in general has a very professional look on the exterior.

Reviews around size (4.52 of 5)

  • It's the perfect size to carry anywhere and great paper that will hold up for the long term
  • Very well made, very sturdy, the paper is great and the size is just perfect
  • As far as size is concerned, i think this large is the best for day-to-day
  • My only complaint with the smaller sketchbook is its size--sometimes it's nice, sometimes I'd like to do something larger.
  • IT took a while to get here, but the book is great, nice size and the paper is perfect for sketches

Reviews around pocket (4.51 of 5)

  • I hear people call it Mole Skin, but that completely disregards the "E" at the end
  • I also love the back pocket which I store red or orange leaves I find during autumn
  • The pocket in the back is great for keeping small pieces of paper
  • Very well made, great paper and even a little pocket for memorabilia
  • Plus, the pocket rips off incredibly easily after only a handful of uses

Reviews around sketch (4.48 of 5)

Reviews around product (4.41 of 5)

  • I was wary of Moleskine for a long time since their products are so expensive, but I bit the bullet
  • I have been using the Moleskine Sketchbook Large for a long time and have recently run out of my big stock of this great product
  • I am saddened by the degradation in quality of a previously nice product
  • Also, the first two pages of my book were stuck together, so I pulled them apart and you can see the white between them (see photo 2).I am absolutely amazed at how shoddy this product is
  • I recommend this product, is great quality and easy to carry as a travel sketchbook

Reviews around book (4.40 of 5)

  • I was legitimately shocked by how nice the book is for the price
  • before i owned this, i was drawing in a bienfang and i thought that was a great book
  • So if you don't want to mess up the book itself, don't sketch directly in there
  • The front page has a little printed section for you to put basic personal info in case you lose the book and whomever finds it is caring enough to contact you
  • The pages are binded in groups, so if you were to rip them off itwon't entirely destroy the whole book

Reviews around notebook (4.40 of 5)

  • If you won't be drawing in these, they are a beautiful and long lasting alternative to the spiral bound/flimsy notebooks that don't last long
  • The Leuchtturm Notebook looks nice and it has some much superior writer/artist Paper stock
  • The Leuchtturm Plain Notebook is equally expensive, or cheaper, as the similar Moleskine Large Sketchbook
  • Compared to the Moleskine classic notebook I just got, the paper is night and day
  • Compared to the Large Moleskine Sketchbook (I found the Moleskine paper to be too "waxy" and lusterless to be useful as a true art Sketchbook), the Leuchtturm Plain Notebook is far superior

Reviews around sketchbook (4.13 of 5)

  • but i believe this is the perfect portable sketchbook size
  • It's a nice sketchbook, but not as nice as I thought it would/could be.
  • This sketchbook has ruined me for all other sketchbooks - it's that awesome
  • The sketchbook is just OK, not superb or anything special
  • I've traveled with it for years and have always found it to be a great sketchbook

Reviews around color (3.93 of 5)

  • Love the color, and pencil drawings and pen are the best!
  • The pages are an off-white color, but I personally like it that way
  • The colors did not bleed through the page and i love the feel of the pages and color
  • The paper is so thin and isn't the nice cream color I'm used to
  • The pale cream color of the pages gives a nice classic look to any artwork done on them.

Reviews around paper (3.74 of 5)

  • It's light, thin, has enough paper, and the pages lay almost perfectly flat
  • It will, however, warp the paper (that doesn't bother me)
  • Alcohol markers and even light ink washes can abuse the paper
  • The ink that I use bleeds through regular paper, but not the paper in this!
  • Good quality paper, not too thin or thick, with a small tooth.

Reviews around page (3.49 of 5)

  • only the first 10 or so pages were deceiving in the fact they were warped as well
  • Before I purchased this Moleskine, I bought another one that had thin, flimsy pages, and attempted to do my art journaling therein
  • It virtually repels water/ink, so pages could be safely thinner.2
  • Second purchase!. Nice quality thick pages for page prepping
  • **, flimsy pages, BUT STILL takes inks better than this piece of

Reviews around marker (1.88 of 5)

  • I use copic markers a lot, and they bleed but it doesn't get onto the next page (unless you put a lot of ink in one place, like most paper).
  • A really good marker for moleskines are tombow dual brush pens.
  • Definitely my favorite brand of sketchbook, just as good as always!
  • Only good for Pencil watercolor definitely doesn't work and marker bleeds through only micron pens don't bleed through
  • Do not use watercolor, it won't work very well, copic markers bled through the pages

Reviews around time (1.76 of 5)

  • When I draw nude [censored], I had a hard time configuring the overall shape on this paper
  • When I draw nude [censored], I had a hard time configuring the overall shape on this paper
  • The thicker pages lend themselves to the mixed media & the archival nature of the product insures that whatever is worked in them will last a very long time.
  • It bleeds through onto next page and even two next pages some times
  • I bought this sketchbook for my art-student daughter, who wasted no time in filling the pages with lots of really good drawings

Reviews around line (1.69 of 5)

  • The smooth surface really makes sketches look amazing, since it doesn't "soak up" the graphite and create fuzzy lines.
  • Maybe if I just judge it for itself and don't compare it to this older one with the creamy soft pages that let the pen glide across leaving a perfect line every time.
  • The thick pages keep bleeding away, so you don't get annoying lines from ink on your new pages
  • It's easy to erase pencil lines with it, as long as you don't use too much pressure with the pencil
  • If you're trying to sketch in pencil and then erase the sketch lines, you'll end up with a damaged product

Reviews around review (1.00 of 5)

  • I've been a fan of moleskine for years, and even after reading the bad reviews about the quality not being what it used to be I decided to go for it
  • I bought this after some reviews said the regular moleskines bleed ink, but seeing as the sketchbook moleskine can take so
  • Other reviews had me worried that Moleskine had made their paper thinner or cheaper but it seems the same quality as it has always been to me
  • Perhaps the company actually paid attention to all the negative reviews and upgraded the paper
  • This review is NOT negative because of the quality of the product, rather it is negative because of my experience.

Reviews around spine (1.00 of 5)

  • Also suggest that you not layer too much on the pages as you will damage the spine or break the elastic closure.
  • I hear people call it Mole Skin, but that completely disregards the "E" at the end
  • This is a nice, sturdy sketchbook- the pages are bound in a manner in which they won't fall out if you crack the spine intensely (I always get frustrated if the paper can't lie flat)
