I recommend this article only if you can take care of your things. And by that I mean that you never loose stuff. This is a pretty expensive notebook that does not serve any other function. The paper quality is average, thin paper that will bleed if you use roller point or marker. BUT if you are looking for a very neat and elegant notebook this is what you need. The higher price is justified by the distinctive Moleskine look. So if you want to impress every time you take a quick note don't look any further.
