Review: Great Quality Journals - These 240 page Markings journals and 400 page Moleskines are my go-to journals. I have been using these for over 10 years. Great quality, binding holds up beautifully after years of use, college ruled and they are solid ruled lines, not dotted (pet peeve of mine). They are similar to the Moleskines but more cost effective and have a back pocket, ribbon marker, and elastic closure strap. My only beef is the pages until around 2020 used to be more ivory toned and now are white and the paper is a bit more stiff. But minor issue. I use ball point pens and Bible highlighters, so no bleed through in that regard.
Review: I’ve used these for years—I won’t use anything else! - I have used these journals for daily personal use for years. They’re the only journals I use (I just bought two because I’m 1/3 through my 2018 one already and I’m always paranoid they’re going to stop making these). They’re affordable and feel like quality. The binding is strong. The 5x8 size is perfect for writing in bed without it feeling too cumbersome or feeling like you have no place to rest your hand. I love the ribbon marker, the band closure to keep it shut, and the pocket for notes or photos in the back. The ivory pages are the perfect color—not too bright white so it doesn’t hurt your eyes to look at it too long (I write for a long time sometimes). I use Pentel RSVP ballpoint pens only and they work great on these pages. No smudging, no bleeding, no skipping. In all, I’m in love with these journals. I’ve considered Moleskins because of their reputation, but I just can’t be pulled away from these!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: compare to moleskine**
A: I have both. This notebook (the Markings) used to be a great deal; I payed $6 and some change for mine several months ago. However, now that the price has doubled (and is more expensive than the comparable Moleskine), there is only one reason one would buy the Markings journal over its Italian counterpart: capacity. While the Moleskine has only 192 pages, the Markings has 240. But, while it has more paper, Markings' paper quality control is a crapshoot. I use fountain pens, and this is an issue. My brown Markings journals perform very poorly with my pens (lots of skipping and flow issues), but my black one is better; not on par with Moleskine, but close. If you use pencils, then this probably won't be an issue for you. Overall, it's clear the degree of quality Moleskine holds itself to far surpasses Markings'. When I use my Markings, I feel like I'm using a sub-par product. When I use my Moleskine, I feel like I'm using a refined and purposeful product.Try this brand if you want, but I personally would rather pay less money for a Moleskine and get a much better chance at quality paper; even if there's less of it.

**Q: Is it graph paper?**
A: it is not.  It is 1/4 inch lined paper.  very good quality, I use it every day.

**Q: How many pages does it have?**
A: There are 120 double-sided sheets in the notebook which equals 240 writing pages.

**Q: Can someone please tell me the dimensions of the sheets?**
A: 8x5. The binder is about 1/8" larger. There are no perforations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Favorite Journal
*by A***F on June 14, 2012*

This journal is the perfect size to carry around with you. It's larger than a paper back but thinner than a hard bound book. The book is bound, not glued together which keeps the pages secure and doesn't allow the spine to break with excessive use. The pages are fairly thin, not best to be used with an ink pen but a ball tip works fine, the lines of the pages are also fairly thin and perfect for someone who writes small. I'm very picky about how large the lines are in my journals and this one is perfect. The back of the book also has an expandable pocket to put small keep sakes and pictures. The elastic that keeps the book closed is good quality and doesn't wear out quickly. I've carried around and filled three of these books now and they have all held up fantastically.
