>>3717703my brother-in-law bought me a moleskine sketchbook, it has a yellowish tinge to it and is a bit transluscent, if workings with markers or sharpies it bleeds through.. the format is slightly smaller than an a4, which is pretty handy since it's not too big and not too small.. it's a softcover and you can pretty much bend it all the way around the spine, all in all I'm happy with it, the next one I buy will have slightly more tooth to it because I like it
