Moleskine Dotted Notebook - Black Hardcover

Ghosting happens! I enjoy the quality of the book but disappointed that there is some ghosting. Wouldn’t recommend for bullet journaling or for art purposes, unless you tape pages together (you can see it on the “march” page). If you’re ok with doubling up on pages, then it makes for a great journal!

The pages were very thin and my utensils bleed through. It should advertise the GSM. Not worth $20 at ALL

I love these notebooks!

Don't buy this if you are going to use anything other than pencil! All of the pens I've used (gel, ballpoint - both thick and thin) have bled through and/or is easily able to be seen on the next page. Very disappointed. I expected higher quality.

while it is as a others have said a little steeply priced, it has dots, an elastic to hold it shut, a book mark ribbon and even a rear pocket which I haven't yet looked at. (plus to some I suppose, didn't need that) suits what I was looking for. black, leather looking-ish. rounded edges for easier pocket insertion too. could have paid $100 for a leather bound fancy paper one and not $20 which is in my ballpark so I am happy with it, if just for that reason alone. can't gather why people want museum quality parchment for calligraphy when it's a journal. ain't like most people are translating sea scrolls. and $20 ? just stop whining, it's worth $20. that one you bought for $20 twenty years ago is about $50 after inflation. I wish gas was .49 a gallon again too, but I got over it... = ) can't see why people would use calligraphy on dots or not on parchment scrolls

I bought this to start out bullet journaling. Everything, except pencil, bleeds through. Staedtler fineliners, Paper Mate Flair felt tip pens, Tombow dual brush pens, Pilot Frixion pens of all sizes, Pilot Precise V5, Crayola markers, and (obviously) Sharpies bleed through. If you plan to use any of these in this notebook, you will be disappointed, unless you don't plan on using the backs of the pages. Such a waste of money. Don't do it. Just don't.

I love this notebook! So many pages, and the dot grid helps me design in my bullet journal. I will definitely buy this notebook again.

IT WAS TERRIBLE. I got this journal for bullet journaling, but if I wrote on thing with my calligraphy marker, it would bleed through like 5 pages. DO NOT BUY THIS.

Cover of this journal is nice quality not sure what happened to the pages inside. Anything you write with including pencil can be seen on the other side of the page. I had high hopes for this journal but wouldn't buy it again. The price doesn't match the quality.

I really liked this journal. It’s perfect for my bullet journaling, except the pages are thin so my markers and calligraphy pens bleed through. I wish it came in different colors, but otherwise I thought it was a little expensive for what you get.

Perfect for my bullet journaling!

Wow - this journal is much worse than what I expect from Moleskine. Everything bleeds through, and even pencil seems to leave a mark on the next page. I've been writing on every other page, but even that doesn't prevent specks from the prior pages. I do love the pocket in the back, but it still doesn't work as a journal.

Different quality than my previous classic Moleskine. Same shape and everything but the cover smells like plastic and the pages feel very thin. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Target or Moleskine as a whole but I am disappointed. If the quality is cheaper so should the price.

Pages are thin and markers/fineliners bleed through. Its difficult to tear the pages out because they're connected and you end up taking multiple pages because it looks bad. Comes with a pocket in the back, along with a string you can use to reference the page you are on. Its kind of expensive but the dots are more aesthetically pleasing than the lines. Overall, it's okay for people who are just starting to bullet journal, but i think it would be better to use the LEUCHTTURM 1917 which takes the "diy" aspect of the journal.

I love this journal so much! The pages are a bit thin but overall it’s amazing and I write in it everyday!

The cover is nice quality, but the pages are very thin. Like a previous reviewer said, there is a lot of bleeding through the pages. I suppose it will work for someone if they are using a pencil?

I really like it a lot. Only issue is that you can't tear pages out, I had a blank page fall out after I tore a page out because it's held together with string. But I still really like it and would recommend it to people.

I just bought this journal yesterday to start a bullet journal and I am very disappointed. I got this because it was recommended among bullet journalers and I thought it would be great for a beginner bullet journal like myself. I am unimpressed because the first page I used a staples fine liner pen in black and a blue tombow brush pen and the fineliner bled through completely. The whole page had a lot of ghosting and I was unable to write on the next page because of it. I then used a basic rollerball pen in black and lightly wrote on the next page and even then there was visible ghosting. It also looks as through I pushed hard on the rollerball pen yet I only wrote lightly. Overall I regret buying this journal but i’m trying to make the most of it as it was $20 and I have already written in it.
