Review: Very nice! - Yes, it's an expensive notebook with hipster connotations. That said, I still kinda wanted one after reading about these somewhere on the internets but couldn't pull the trigger since the unlined version is not nearly OCD enough for me (way too free form) and the lined version reminds me of the lined paper I had to use in public school, and who wants to remember that waste of 13 years of life you'll never get back? I found the grid version accidentally on desertcart and be still my beating heart! GRID SQUARES?! In a durable notebook that looks more like pointy nose literature you could use to chat up dirty blonde clod-shod nurses wearing hot librarian glasses at the hospital cafeteria (well, assuming you had a black Lab puppy with you or something I guess, I have no game and will die alone) or the secret operating manual for a nuclear missile silo? And it doesn't make you look like you're going back for your GED at 30 if people see you carrying it to the truck or see it sitting on your desk at work? I was hooked. These things are better than crack, they should just give the first one away free and you'll be lining up for more at any price. I discovered it's a very high quality tool that's worth paying a premium for and wished I'd had these a long time ago. Let me break it down for you: I'm an engineer and while going through the four year long, sleep deprived, 80-hour week, repetitive kick in the b@%$# that is engineering school they make you (yes, MAKE you!) do all your homework on this special grid paper called, crazily enough, engineering paper that costs a fortune and ensures that you'll never be dating while hauling a huge tablet of nerd paper and huge calculator though the library at 10:00 PM still attempting poorly to finish all your horrific calculus/thermo/fluid mechanics/sediment transport homework after staying up playing WOW all night. If you were smart enough not to go to engineering school and never had to use the stuff, desertcart probably sells it if you're bored enough to want to see what it looks like (edit: I looked, they do, neat!). Engineering school and engineering paper trains you to write and draw in these little squares and makes everything look all nice and stuff when you review it later. Or not. Either way it's an essential piece of engineer equipment. To this day at work I write everything on grid paper at work and at home as a result. In engineering and surveying we have these things called field books (desertcart sells these too, can life get any better?) but they're not something I'd want to use every day, don't feel real good and work too well since they're kinda small and not suited for people who write big as I do and write a lot with a jubilee of pens. I've always wanted a smaller version of engineering paper (not 8.5 x 11, in other words) for drawing and writing somewhat neatly and organized as we engineers were forced to do in college. Something bound, something tough enough to survive life on the road and in the field making the mediocre bucks, something cooler looking than a giganto fresh tablet of green engineering paper that reminds me of wasting my youth and hair in engineering school when I should've been doing something different (engineering school will still be there when you're 30, kids...). This is it, sports fans. If you're an engineer this bad boy will be close to your heart. If you're not, it will make you OCD and cause you to print in all caps in small squares and draw lots of pictures. Or not. Either way this is a great piece of kit if you need to draw nice engineering style pics and like lots of lines to show you the way while writing important stuff.
Review: Perfect for budgets and accounting! - I purchased this product to help me be more financially responsible and efficient with budgeting, accounting, and just keeping track of what is happening monetarily in my life. I'm a very on the go person, I work as an expatriate and travel back and forth to the US frequently. This notebook is the perfect size for me and maybe a college student having to carry it around every now and then. I don't think I could get away with a size smaller because it wouldn't have enough page space for keeping track of figures for the long run. I say this because I have a smaller Moleskine notebook that I use for a journal that is lined. The squares are 5mm by 5mm(about 6/16") and, in my opinion, perfect size for one character. Only using one character makes reading numerical info on the page very easy. This has one cover page in the front with lines for personal information if it's lost and one completely blank cover page in the back. There is also a nicely thin pocket in the back if you wish to keep additional documents with it. It comes with a ribbon page marker and an elastic band to keep it securely closed. If I REALLY wanted to knit pick and find a negative about this it would be that the squares do not start at the edge of the page, however, all square placements are equal throughout the book so like I said it would be knit picking. TL:DR This is a great squared notebook for accounting or budgeting with a secure elastic strap and ribbon page marker.

## 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!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Quality Notebook.
*by B***N on January 24, 2017*

Love my Moleskin! Top of the line for sure. I have bought multiple Moleskines and for good reason, they are a quality product. I bought this notebook for my notes in my Ordinary Diff. and Linear Algebra class because of the quality of the paper as well as the square lines. I am able to keep all my notes, my graphs and all my equations neatly organized because of the nice grid the squares make. The paper is easy to erase on, making it great for notes, sketching, and brainstorming. The book mark helps you quickly navigate the book. The elastic closure with the cardboard covers protects your paper much better than a soft cover will even if it has an elastic closure because it stays closed better and the paper is protected by an offset of cardboard (see pictures) The envelope inside the back cover is great for loose leaf items that you consistently use with the notebook, like a strait edge or a list of guidelines. I love this notebook and plan to buy again when this one fills up and for friends and family.
