The forms have a great balance between structure and flexibility. For complex projects etc. I don't think there would be any better forms and diary to use than the Time/System for detailed schedules and projects. Now I'm thinking even more about going back to them, but I also like the simplicity Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528621688961298113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-83770790697060048702010-10-23T16:28:25.563-04:002010-10-23T16:28:25.563-04:00@ Plaiditude

They had this lovely Filofax stand in a college bookstore where I walked by very often.

My favorite non-padded variety is the Malden, it's made of a medium-thick, flexible buffalo skin. No padding that I can feel (unlike the Guildford) and just generally feels better than anything else. There are lots of Malden photos in the Philofaxy flickr pool.stirwisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832276325497915558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-39920919630931204852010-10-22T09:49:17.362-04:002010-10-22T09:49:17.362-04:00Steve LOL!!

Is it fear for scratching in a bag or something? I also have a Personal Kendal in brown, which I love to pieces! The leather is rather soft IMO, but very robust. And since it's oiled leather (not feeling greasy btw), you can simply rub off any scratches or smudges with your finger tip.
