I bought this journal to test it against my other journals I have written in. I can not justify buying expensive journals, so I found the TOPS journal.
I found the paper is thinner than Moleskine's and that it tends to curl like inexpensive composition or 3 holed school paper. It is especially curly when you use a ballpoint pen. I tend to write with a heavy hand with a ballpoint, but I write lightly with a fountain pen. The reverse side of each sheet showed "bleed through" with both inks, but not enough to keep me from not using the journal.
The stitching for the pages is inconsistent with some pages having up to half of a page not sewn into the book.
The cover is durable and hard. I like the design imprinted into the cover. It is not just "plain".
Overall, I would buy more of these especially when I find them on sale. I had a hard time finding them on the internet.
