Review: Great notebooks! - I bought these to use as sketchbooks because they're thin and great quality. The cover is made up of thick paper and easily bends and will wear and tear from frequent use, but not too big of a deal since there are 3 to use. The great thing about these notebooks is that in the back cover, there is a folder-like slot to hold any paper if folded and to top things off, the last 20 or so pages are perforated so you can remove pages cleanly!
Review: Great all-around - I've seen a lot of artists recommend these, but I've always been scared to buy something that looks like it'd fall apart pretty easily. Fortunately, my college professors required these, and I'm so glad I decided to go ahead and order the three pack because I'm going to use these forever now... The simple black binding is surprisingly sturdy, though you do have to be gentle with it because it's no hardcover. It's also pretty easy to draw on and customize that way, though I love painting in liquid leaf on it, and it stays very well. I love the paper quality though, it really holds up to multiple eraser marks on the same spot (the other eye *coughcough*). It's also very soft paper; smooth without being too near to a gloss, and far from rough, cheap paper. I will definitely get these again when I run out of room.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight notebook for labs and classes
*by A***D on December 16, 2012*

I had a tough time searching for unruled notebooks at a supermarket near my place. It felt like they had become extinct only to be replaced by ruled composition notebooks. Without trying to sound pompous, I tend to frown upon ruled composition books. Doing full justice to the art of writing calls for a pristine canvas unsullied by aids like horizontal lines and margin separators. The joy of watching words flow out of your pen and line up perfectly on a blank paper is an untold pleasure and an experience exclusively felt by those that have dared to stray away from the protective confines of silly blue/black lines. With no choice left, I had to fall back on Amazon like always. The Moleskine Cahier journal caught my eye and I ordered this set of 3. I used one during this semester for taking notes and I can say without doubt it's one of the best notebooks I've ever owned. The front and back cover are thick and have withstood all the turmoil in my backpack without bending, which in my opinion is a rare feat. The back cover has a pocket on the inside which can be used for storing a pen, some sheets or an ID card. The journal has a text block with one 60 leaves (120 pages) thick signature sewn to the spine. The last 16 leaves have perforations along the inner edge so that these pages can be easily torn. This was very useful for quiz submissions. I used ball-point pens for writing on this and faced no problem with making an imprint. Also the imprint's shadow didn't show up on the next page. I was misled on the dimensions of the journal. I expected it to be a lot more elongated. I would equate this with the size of a 10 inch tablet. The sheets inside have a yellowish tinge but otherwise I don't have any complaints. It was worth the price. I only wish it had more pages than the 60 or so leaves it currently has.
