Review: 👍❤️👍 - This is what I use as a daily diary, hence the defacing of it.....reminds me of school days when you scribbled all over books, folders and desks. It helps me to write down things because I suffer with depression and anxiety. The pages are great, thin but doesn't tear too easily. The line spacing is good, I have large writing so this space helps me to write smaller ..... sometimes! I also like to doodle so it's got lots of flowers, little doodle pics and balloons everywhere. I keep them so my family always have a reminder of me! Highly recommended these. I've just ordered another one.
Review: Great quality as expected! - Great notebook as can be expected from moleskine! It has two bookmarks in it as it’s a thicker notebook which is handy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is 400 the number of sheets or pages available to write on? so is it actually 200 sheets?**
A: It's 200 sheets, 400 to write on - the same number of sheets as the daily journal, but obviously no text. It's over double the number of pages of their normal notebooks. Well worth the money, in my opinion. As a writer, one lasts me around three months. Hope this helps

**Q: does anybody know what the 70 means in paper weight?**
A: It means it’s fairly thin paper, so not great for fountain pens or heavy inks as they will bleed through the paper. If you’re just using a biro or similar it’s fine. It depends on your needs. I like Moleskine paper for journaling and general note taking.

**Q: Will this expanded soft cover version ever be made in pocket size?**
A: I was wanting to also know if there woul be an EXPANDED pocket sized one, so I contacted moleskine customer care team, they replied ‘we do not know whether an expanded Pocket Sized Notebook will be produced’

**Q: Is the paper in these notebooks acid free?**
A: According to the Moleskin website their paper is acid-free.
