## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many pages?**
A: The pages aren't numbered but it looks to hold about the same amount as a composition notebook of 100 pages. They are thick pieces of paper.

**Q: How many moles is this?**
A: This has one book included.

**Q: do G2 pens bleed through?**
A: I use G2 pens exclusively with my Moleskine and I don't find that they bleed through, BUT there is some ghosting, particularly with the 0.7 or thicker. The 0.38 is good and doesn't have any bleeding or ghosting but it is too fine a point for my preference so I use the 0.5 and that's a happy compromise. Ghosting is negligible, bleed through non-existent... BUT, to be perfectly, candid, I am almost done with my Moleskine and I won't buy another one. Partly because the paper isn't really conducive to any type of pen other than a rollerball (ugh): I primarily use fountain pens and the Moleskine is horrible for those and the gel pens (I only use G2 when I use a gel pen) leaves little globs of gel on the paper so I do get a lot of smudging. Doesn't happen with my Rhodia books (my preference) or the couple of STM (Scribbles that Matter) books I've tried.

**Q: Does this open to lay flat? Do you need anything to hold it down so it lays flat when opened?**
A: It lays flat once it's been opened a few times. I don't remember having any issues with mine when I bought it, and I have it with me right now!
