I bought this notebook as a Christmas present for my friend who still have your appointments and notes written down by hand. So far, it has always used this Moleskins, and is therefore always been satisfied. From this luxury notebook it is, however, excited, it looks very nice and spoken aloud from dibasic. The cover is made of genuine leather, and smells accordingly - I find it very enjoyable. The paper is handmade, and therefore somewhat coarser than normal paper. Partly are also small, let's call it mistake in the paper in the form of flowers or the like. I do not mind, on the contrary, I like that very much and it turns any notebook unique. Only the format has somewhat surprised me, I would have expected some more. However, since the dimensions are in the product description, this is no reason to devalue. Thus, a great product or gift, highly recommended!
