    Moleskine Soft Cover EXTRA Large Plain Notebook (7.5 x 9.75)

    - Is bigger really better?

    We recently picked up the 10 x 7.5 inch extra large Moleskine sketchbook, and it’s huge. Like most Moleskines, this comes in the standard black leather cover you would expect but unlike it’s smaller brother, it’s a soft cover.

    True to Moleskine tradition, this sketchbook carries the standard expandable inner back pocket. This is very useful for sticking in those loose napkin drawings or the occasional business card.

    Here are some specs:

    • Soft cover
    • 192 pages
    • Off white paper color
    • Acid-free paper
    • 7.5 x 9.75 inches (19 x 25 cm)

    Overall, the softcover has a nice feel to it but, I’m a little worried about the durability of the sketchbook. I also tend to use a lot of ink in my sketchbook and have already begun to see some bleeding between pages. The paper is a little too thin for me.

    What do you think?
