I know a lot of us (myself included) have some issues with Moleskines (pages too thin, bleeds with FP’s, etc). Despite their shortcomings, I still like them; I like them for their hard covers and actually their thin pages also have some advantages, just not with FP’s. Though thin, the pages are smooth to write on with both pencil and pen, and the thin-ness translates into more pages per unit of weight. Just slip one into a cargo pocket with a space pen or a zebra expanz and you’re ready to go hiking or whatever.
