I guess we are even more willing to switch to another format if we have to proper binder to switch into, but trying out a new format in an alternate no-brand-and-dirt-cheap binder is clever.<br /><br />And that's how I found out I wanted a new filofax more than I wanted more Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-1354325638565211452012-03-07T01:52:40.360-05:002012-03-07T01:52:40.360-05:00oh this is interesting, you are describing the lea...oh this is interesting, you are describing the leather well!

It doesn't have that coating on it like the Malden or the Cuban have. It is going to be well-worn and lived in. The (A5) Holborn Zip I have seems to have a different feel to the leather than the Malden.
