How does it compare In quality to Moleskin notebooks?

I have a moleskin now and it sucks in comparison. The Amazon one is sturdier. I heard that older moleskins were better but this is my first so idk. I use a fine to medium fountain pen and I prefer the paper in the Amazon notebook.

Is the paper fountain pen friendly?

Reading responses from 2 years ago and want to update. They must have started off using better quality stock than they do now. This paper is NOT fountain pen friendly. It is very thin. Even if you tried to put a spare sheet behind the page you’re writing on, it’s still going to bleed through the back. So you won’t be able to write front-and-back on every page. Hopefully that makes sense. I’ve used a lot of different types of paper and honestly, this is literally (not misusing that word) the worst paper in a notebook that I’ve purchased in at least the past 20 years.

Will sharpies bleed through?

Sharpies are alcohol ink and will bleed through just about all paper.

240 individual sheets of paper or 240 front to back (so 120 sheets)?

120 sheets. 240 when counting both sides.
