Writing notebook Moleskine Classic A5 hardcover 240 sheets black matt finish

The Moleskine Classic A5 writing notebook with a hard cover and matt black finish offers a durable, everyday surface for notes, journaling and sketches. This A5-sized notebook contains 240 sheets of monochromatic ruled paper that accept pens, pencils and many fountain pens. The hardcover protects pages during travel and daily use, while features such as rounded corners, elastic closure, ribbon marker and an expandable inner pocket support organised writing and safe storage of loose sheets.

Advantages

The hardcover construction and matt finish provide robust protection and a discreet professional look. With 240 acid-free sheets, the notebook ensures long-lasting paper quality and reduces ink bleed-through for most writing tools. The elastic band secures the notebook closed, the ribbon bookmark helps you quickly return to the current page, and the inner expandable pocket stores receipts or loose notes. The ruled layout gives consistent guidance for handwriting and structured note-taking.

How to use

Usage recommendations

For best results, use medium- or fine-point pens and pencils; test fountain pen inks on a corner page to check for any bleed-through before extensive use. Keep the notebook closed with the elastic band when carrying it in a bag to protect the edges and pages.
