I've used the hard cover moleskine's before. I've tried the thicker non-ruled and the thinner non-ruled. They're nice because of the hard cover. But then I saw here on Amazon that they have cancer causing ingredients, so I found out that these do not.
I love the large size. The paper is just as nice in these as the hard cover ones. Though you have to have a firm surface to write on, I like the size of these, the number of pages, that it doesn't cause cancer, and the price. The pages look thin, but I like writing with the really fine Pilot G-Tec pens, so it's not a problem. I haven't tried heavier pens to see if they bleed through. I don't like heavy, bleeding pens.
These are definitely right for the price. Nice pockets in the back too, as all Moleskine's have (I think).

Okay, so I am in illustrator, and I have scoured the land of sketchbooks, and I just love these! Moleskine is a fabulous book maker, really, they are a name brand, which makes me hesitate, who wants to spend 20$ on one empty book? However I have fallen in love with these, the Extra Large (which is only by Moleskine standards, these are normal size books, about equal to those composition notebooks) is the only size I can stand, I wish they'd have a size larger, but that's fine. And the smaller amount of pages per each I actually prefer. I can devote one book to an entire project or stream of thought, and FILL it, which has always been an intimidating thing, to fill a notebook, and these for some reason get filled up and look brilliant!The pages take pencils really well, ink does bleed through, so have a spare protector sheet ready, the little envelope built in in the back is handy, and the last section of micro-perferated sheets are okay (I don't like them so much, but every once in a while it's nice to be able to tear something out neatly.
These used to be 12$ and change on Amazon, and the price has been steadily creeping up (grrr.) I've looked for alternatives, but I think this is still the best option out there, and 6$/ea isn't so bad, really.
