Mead clones Moleskine journals
My last stop at Walmart revealed several journals by Mead that copy the styling of the popular Moleskine books. Covers range from bonded leather in black or brown to fashion colors. Pages are grid or lined. All have the pocket on the inside back cover and an elastic to hold it all together. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email.

I'm considering getting some new notebooks for my classes and I want one that can withstand a bit of beating in my backpack. The normal ones are terrible, so I'm considering a properly bound notebook. I'd like one with no lines on it. Aaron W.

I don't know about the Mead ones, but Moleskine paper is spotty and varies from okay to awful. I tend to use Rhodia or Clairefontaine, but for pads I use Staples' bagasse paper. -- _Deirdre web: http://deirdre.net blog: http://dsmoen.livejournal.com/ "Memes are a hoax! Pass it on!" |

The paper certainly isn't anything more than average, but it didn't feather and resisted bleeding with my Extra Fine MB, so...that's good. Aaron W.

I didn't notice any plain pages, but I didn't look inside all the books, either. -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email. Please take out the trash before sending a direct reply. |
