Hi all,

This is a (mainly bad) report of my first (last?) experience with a Moleskine. Prior to some fanatic's panick attack, let me state in the first place that most of the arguments are not against the Moleskine itself but against my choice.

• The first thing I was going to "complain" is the price. They are expensive (indeed!). Yes: I have decided to buy it by myself, even being aware of the price.
• I was expecting more paper quality, it's nothing out of the ordinary (it's neither specially white, nor specially smooth, nor specially nothing...). Binding quality is excellent, though, but it is something I can do by myself (and have done so several times).
• I was not sure whether to buy some spiral bound or sewn bound, as I don't write much and most of the things I write are just reminders for later (seldom longer than just a line, and always end up crossed out when the task is accomplished). I now realize that a spiral bound one would have been cleaner to use (you throw your sheet away once it's filled).
• My handwriting is not as small as the space between Moleskine's lines, specially when writing in a stand up position holding the Moleskine with only one hand. But it is supposed to be the "travelling experience" for which the Moleskines are designed for, AFAIK. I am using a "F" nib here, of course, which somehow helps a little bit.

Just to share with you.

Martin
