Leuchtturm1917?

[Eeyore]

Anyone who has experience with the Leuchtturm1917 A5 notebooks? How do they compare to the Moleskins, in terms of paper quality and practicality?

Thanks! (I am tired of the cheap notebooks that my employer supplies)

I'm using a Leuchtturm 1917 pocket notebook right now, and love it. I have yet to have any bleed-through with either Pelikan or Diamine inks (the only ones I've used in it so far). I do get some ghosting with a few of my pens, but I get that with my Rhodia webnotebook too. The paper is very smooth, and hasn't feathered with the inks I've used.
I plan on ordering some more of their books soon.

Also, I can't completely compare these with Moleskine notebooks, as I've never written in a Moleskine. I have, however, handled them in the store, and the Leuchtturm paper feels smoother, and thicker to me.

I have one of their journals that I've nearly finished, it's about 8.5 x 5.5 the size larger than the pocket. The paper is great and it doesn't bleed through even when I was testing different inks or had a Preppy blurb ink on the page

Thanks! Worth a try then (the lineated A5 book)

In the end I went with an (also German) Sigel Conceptum A5 notebook.
I'll report back on how I like it in daily use.
