@Evan:
Indeed, it is a moleskine, but not a Moleskine brand by modo e modo. What a difference can a letter (“M” or “m”) make?

Besides it being Moleskine-like or moleskine-like notebook/journal/cahier, the answer to your question is that I did get it, although I have not used it yet. When I buy my cahiers I usually brand them with my name and initials even though I may use them later. I have the notebook in the pictures which is similar to the pocket notebook with hard cover made by the modo e modo company (the real Moleskine)

Apparently, there are other sizes: the large notebook and a mini pocket one.

Keep in mind that it *is* a real moleskine. It just isn’t a Moleskine brand moleskine. The word “moleskine” refers to the type of notebook, and one particular company sells them under the trademark “Moleskine”. They also sell notebooks under the name “cahier”, which is just the French word for… well… “notebook”.

So this notebook you have? It is a perfectly authentic moleskine.

indeed! cheap, average quality (especially the paper, not so the cover), but good looking face on the cover!
