Moleskine Classic Leather Executive Notebook Hard Cover

Around 70 GSM is the number behind Moleskine's most persistent complaint, and it is a specification rather than a defect: at that weight fountain and wet gel ink bleed through, so the reverse of a written page is generally unusable.
Full details →Who the Ghost-Grid Magnetic Dry Erase Whiteboard 36x24 is for
Buy it if: Anyone wanting a magnetic board that will last years rather than months.
Avoid it if: Anyone leaving writing up for weeks at a time -- that ghosts any painted surface.
Who the Moleskine Classic Leather Executive Notebook Hard Cover is for
Buy it if: Ballpoint and pencil writers who want the build quality and the extras.
Avoid it if: Fountain pen users -- buy the 90 GSM Rhodia instead, which also costs less.
