I never knew using a moleskine could feel so good! I'm really happy with my purchase. It's the perfect size for me. The pages are sturdy and smooth. Ink goes on it wonderfully and sketching on it feels fantastic. I love the bookmark a lot and the band to keep it together it really nice. I will definitely keep getting moleskines in the future. I should add that in the beginning I had always been dubious about the moleskine product and I don't think I had any real expectations so I was pleasantly surprised when I got to use it!
