- Is this notebook good for fountain pens?
- Not ideal. The paper handles ballpoint and pencil well, but fountain pen ink tends to ghost and can bleed through. Use a dry ink and a fine nib if you write with a fountain pen.
- How does it compare with a Leuchtturm1917?
- The Leuchtturm1917 adds numbered pages, a contents index and usually more pages, and its paper is often considered better for fountain pens. The Moleskine has the sturdier classic feel and the familiar rounded corners.
- What size is it?
- It is the 5 x 8.25 inch Classic size, a little larger than a paperback and small enough for a coat pocket or small bag. It has 240 ruled pages.
- Does it lie flat when open?
- Yes. The stitched binding lets it open flat on a desk, though a brand-new book may need a little coaxing at first.
- What is in the back?
- An expandable inner pocket for loose notes, receipts or cards, plus a ribbon bookmark and an elastic closure to keep the book shut.
- Is the paper acid-free?
- Yes. The paper is acid-free, which helps it resist yellowing over time, so it is fine for long-term journaling.
