I am really pleased with this notebook! This is my third bullet journal - the first year I used a cheap grid notebook I got at Target. It did not hold up well, so I upgraded to a Moleskine with gridded paper when that one finally fell apart. The Moleskine has been just fine, but there are so many notebooks out there I decided I would try a new type if I ever actually filled up the moleskin - and I did! I really liked my Moleskine, and I really super-duper like this Rhodia notebook. Below I will outline the differences I've noticed between the two.SIZE:The Rhodia Black Webnotebook is exactly the same height, as the Moleskine and about .5 inches wider.The pages on the Moleskine are exactly flush with the edges of the cover, but the Rhodia's cover is very slightly bigger than the pages inside, meaning the pages are just the tiniest tiny bit smaller than the pages of the Moleskine.FEATURES:The Rhodia's inside covers are lined with black (where the Moleskine had creme) - and there is a paper pocket pasted into the back cover. The Rodia does not have the area to write your name and phone number (because the page is black) so if you want that you might consider silver Sharpie or a sticker label. The cover of the Rhodia is smoother, and cushier, than the moleskine, I think. Both notebooks have a rubber band closure strap and a bookmark ribbon. The moleskins's ribbon is quite a bit longer than the Rhodia's, but it still works.GRID:Moleskine was a solid grid, the Rhodia sports a dot grid. I like the dots better than the solid grid, but I do wish they weren't quite so dark.Moleskin has 25 horizontal squares, and 40 vertical. Strangely, the Rhodia has 26 horizontal and 39 vertical. So you lose one vertically but gain one horizontally. The Rhoda's squares seem a tiny bit bigger - or that could be an illusion of the dot grid rather than lines.PAPER:This is where the Rhodia blows the Moleskine out of the water! The Rhodia's paper is creamy colored, and smoother to the touch. You can just tell this is better paper. My favorite pen the Pilot Precise V5 RT - the best pen on the planet, period) doesn't bleed though AT ALL. See the photo where I drew a key at the top - I really dug in with the pen to see how much ink the paper would take and you can barely tell on the other side! I also tested Sharpie Pen, a few colors of Staedtler Fineliner, a Staedtler Watercolor brush pen, and finally just plain old black classic Sharpie. The only one that bled through even a little bit was the Sharpie (which wasn't surprising). This paper is obviously superior to the Moleskine.Overall, this is an excellent bullet journaling notebook with high quality paper, and I would recommend it highly. And take it from me, if you're new to bullet journaling, ~$20 might SEEM like a lot for a notebook when you can get one that looks pretty similar for about 5 bucks at Target - but when you're going to carry something every day the cheap ones just don't hold up. Whether you decide to do this notebook, a moleskine, or something else make sure it's something that can take the abuse!UPDATE: I have been carrying this notebook daily in my purse for over 1.5 years and it’s finally full. Ive been pretty rough on it, tossing it around, and I have spilled several cups of coffee on it. The binding hasn’t budged, the pocket is still attached and the ribbon is not frayed or loose. The elastic is still snappy, even though the pages are thick with washi tape, receipts and post it notes. Perfect notebook. Ordering another right now.
