Great if you never erase

Comments about Moleskine Folio Books:

I LOVE the design of this folio sketchbook; the size, the binding (as I absolutely detest spiral bound), the smooth cover, rounded corners, and perhaps most of all, elastic closure & folder in the back are all wonderful. Everything about a moleskine that you love, in a larger format, right?
Wrong. The ONLY (and pretty major) drawback is the paper quality is extremely sub par (at least in the sketchbook, not sure about the watercolor paper)- and the fact that when you erase, the cream colored paper discolors and becomes stark, glaringly white. Not sure what's going on here, but as an artist, I really don't like it. As such, it's become more of a diary than a sketchbook, which is fine, but not what it was intended for. Overall, disappointed, and looking for a replacement.

Definitely in the market for another sketchbook with this design but with actual artist-quality paper.

Inconsistent paper quality

By sastultz

Comments about Moleskine Folio Books:

I purchased an A4 size folio sketchbook based on my satisfaction with an A3 that I've nearly filled with pencil drawings. To my dismay, the paper is not the same. Not because the product is supposed to be different, but because of inconsistent sourcing of paper by Moleskine's contract suppliers, as far as I can tell. Both look the same, but the weight, absorbency, and texture are not. A real disappointment for such an expensive product.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Disappointed

Comments about Moleskine Folio Books:

I purchased this item looking for a nice book that I could carry and have as a nice piece on the bookshelf when full. The problem that I have with it is the paper turns white when you erase a misplaced pencil mark. I have tried just about ever type of eraser I can think of and they all leave white streaks. Do a search on Google and you will find I am not the only one complaining about this.

Perfect! Full sized Moleskins at last!

Comments about Moleskine Folio Books:

I love the full sized moleskins. Especially the watercolor moleskin. The paper is great. I do not prefer spirals and it is hard to find quality paper in sketchbooks without spirals.
