I purchased a Moleskine Museum Sketch-Book from a Notemaker sale in last year.
It has an orange Shuntung Silk cover. 9cm x 14cm or 3.75" x 5.5" with 40 blank dark ivory pages.
The paper is a heavy grade which has white edges but exhibits a pronounced green tinged mirroring on the back of pages where black fibre tip ink has been used.
There is the usual Moleskine elastic closure in matching orange and a back cover pocket.
The paper band around it has a small reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's "The Bedroom at Aries" and a quote from Vincent "Sometimes there are sheets in a sketchbook which, although they are more or less scribbles, nevertheless have something to say".
Anyway not being a big fan of Vincent I proceeded to scribble out his name from the square at the bottom of the front cover with a dark orange pen.

I had some concerns about the silk cover not wearing very well in my work bag so Mrs Bogon kindly knitted a cover for it out of orange wool that she had lying about. She put a patterned row of holes along one edge for artistic panache.
Following is a selection of scribbles so far. Unfortunately the work scanner doesn't want to go past 300dpi.

An orange Artline fibre tip.
