I stumbled across this from another blog detailing Moleskine "hacks"

It's detailed instructions on how to put a different type of paper into you moleskine notebook for those of you who, like me, could only figure out how to do this with incredibly precise instructions and pictures. It looks cool!

Moleskine Reloaded

WOW! That is a great instructional!

That's awesome. Thanks for the link.

it is a detailed article. nice.

Someone posted a link to this article some time ago in FPN. I followed this method, but found that there were visible gaps between the signatures when the book was open, so I clamped the whole book-block and coated the spine with white glue. Solved the problem. Otherwise this method is great!

Have bookmarked the link, will have to have a read through later.

So many are always complaining about Moleskine paper, but I have yet to see anyone state the specific reasons why they dislike Moleskine paper.

Anyone care to divulge?

There are many, many posts here where people specifically cite inconsistent paper quality as the reason for their dissatisfaction. You might get a great moleskine that behaves well with almost every ink and nib, and the next week buy one that bleeds and feathers with all but one pen and ink combination.

Here's a thread with a scan:
Why people love, and hate, moleskines

Trumpetvine's terrific tutorial, while intended for adapting a moleskine for ink and watercolor sketching (yes, there is a watercolor moleskine, but some may dislike the landscape format, and this tutorial uses hot press rather than cold press paper), allows someone to use their preferred paper with the moleskine cover and binding. I don't have the ambition to do something like this, but I think it's very cool someone out there does!
