For years I wondered what the hype was about Moleskine so I finally ordered their larger book. It's awful! The paper warps so bad and I bought a watercolor book. I had to tape the pages down by wrapping it ove to the hard cover and still the warping was so bad that color would run off humps and into valleys so that I had no control. I went back to Pentalic's Aqua Journal and will never buy anything else again. This is just awful and way over privpced for what I received. Yuck.
