Professional Notebook, Large, Forest Green, Soft Cover (5 x 8.25)

This is such a great notebook. Great value, durable but not too heavy. Perfect for me to manage my project and carry around easily.

I like the color, feel, and design of the journal and its pages. The lined paper is the right size for writing (some journals have lines that are too wide, almost elementary school-esque.) It's the right size to carry easily, and softcover journals are a bit easier to tuck into a pocket of a bag than the stiff ones. The pockets and lettering are a bonus. I'd like to see Moleskin produce this one in more colors than forest green, perhaps some other colors you can see in nature.

wonderful product

I've always loved Moleskine's products. The feel of the paper is soft, and I really appreciate the materials they use for every single one of their products. The color of this journal is a nice vibrant dark green. This particular journal isn't the type of Moleskine I usually buy; most of the time I get the soft paper covers with no elastic strap. This is a soft synthetic blend of some kind for the housing as well. I also took some of my Posca paint pens and drew on both the cover and back: the color has not smudged since. It immediately took as if it would on paper and looks beautiful! Aside from the few extra pages of TOC, maps, project subjects and detachable pages, you have the main notebook (that has every page numbered which is nice). The nice thing about the main notebook for me is that it is nonlinear: each page has a big column in the center, and two smaller columns - one on the side and one at the top (see pictures). This really helps me for some reason; having a couple of extra spaces for sidelining thoughts that might not have to directly relate to my main idea. I'm using this notebook for a creative project; though I realize it may be "intended" for traditional business projects, it is quite good for other uses too. Even for the pages I didn't have much use for (like the "projects" master list; I simply whited out the main header and wrote in sub-tasks for my main project - because I'm only using it for one!) Either way, I would highly recommend this journal, it is high quality and Moleskine delivers. I've been using this notebook for one creative project I'm working on as a simple way to keep all my thoughts in one place as I work on it. Others have commented a bit on the extra pages

This is a nice notebook. I like that it combines some useful features of a bullet journal (index, numbered pages, areas for goals / long term planning, areas for day-to-day notes, etc.) with more flexibility than an official bullet journal offers. I like that it has the pocket in the back. My only problem with it is the paper weight and texture. I like to write with fountain pens, which tend to have heavier, more liquid ink than ballpoint pens. Previously, I've been using the Volant journals for my personal notebooks, which, according to Moleskine's website, have a paper weight of 70 g/m2. I haven't had any problems using my fountain pens on the Volant journals, or the classic notebook with dotted paper. But when I tried to use them (same pens, same inks) on the PRO notebook the ink soaked right through the paper, making the reverse side largely unusable. Comparing them side by side, they feel and look like the same weight, but not the same texture--the Volant paper feels like a slightly less porous finish, somehow. I don't want to say it's shiny, because it's not, but somehow the surface is more impervious to the liquid ink, and it doesn't soak through the same way. I wish I had known about this difference before I purchased the notebook--I wouldn't have purchased it. Use of fountain pens is a deal-breaker for me. I did see previous reviews from other people complaining about ink soaking through, but I thought since I was already using a product with the same brand and same weight of paper, that it would be fine and the other reviewers just had different ink than I use, but the paper is actually different than other Moleskine 70 g/m2 notebook papers. One other, related note--the comparison chart of Moleskine products at the bottom of the Amazon product page states that the PRO collection has a paper grade of 100 g/m2. This is not correct. Only the PRO pad has that weight of paper; the PRO notebook has 70 g/m2 similar to the other non-art notebooks. If the PRO pad had numbered pages and an index, that would probably be enough to make me buy it, but it doesn't. I'll probably revert to the Volant journals after this notebook is full, even though they lack the numbered pages, index, and pocket features I really like in the PRO, because being able to use my preferred pens is a higher priority.

This is one of the worst journals that I have tried. While it has a nice look and feel to it the paper that is said to 100 G/M ghosts even using regular ball point pens. I wouldn’t expect this with a high quality pro journal. There are several journals on the market that you could set up for your particular needs where the ink ball point or gel does not ghosts through to the next page. Save your money and find somw5ing that fits your needs.

I have been ordering this same Moleskine notebook for four years. I was surprised to see less pages in this year’s model. This year had 202 lined pages (not including the extra feature pages). This year’s model has only 156 pages for the same price. Since this is my daily/weekly task planner I hope I don’t run out of pages by the end of 2021!

Spine was split upon reception. Poor quality for a Moleskine.

Whatever notebook I choose from another company, I always go back to Moleskine. It’s classic and quality at the same time.

I’ve bought these notebooks a few times. They are the best. The lines are perfect, although would be nicer if they came with margins in. I like the cover colour and find there’s never any change in the quality of the cover or the colour no matter how many times I use it.
