Blimey. If that isn't Stockholm syndrome, I don't know what is.

Wouldn't surprise me if the Moleskine paper is less than 70 gsm - I've got some notebooks that claim to be 70 gsm, and the paper has a bit more heft to it than the very thin, soft paper in the Moleskines. I do quite like how nice the Moleskine paper is to flick through, but the amount of bleed is a bit much, so while I do buy a Moleskine monthly diary each year - useful layout, cover feels nice, price not ridiculous, the per-month notes pages (that I typically don't use) act as an ink bleed buffer - I'd be a bit less confident that their notebooks would work as well.

For notes, I buy whatever cheap ringbound A4/A5 squared 70+ gsm paper notebooks I can find on Amazon.

I use 70gsm Japanese paper that doesn’t bleed through.

A dollar spent on Moleskine paper is, sadly, a dollar wasted.

TR?
