Just stumbled over from notebookism. Nice reviews and thanks, I’m always out for a lesser priced alt to the revered Moleskine!
I would offer one comment in relation to this review. The spine: the fact the Colored Edge Notebook pages are attached to the spine vs. the Moleskine’s not may not be as beneficial as you think. It looks like the Colored Edge Notebook is bound to a technique similar to perfect binding: the bulk of paperbacks are bound that way. High use tends to break the glue = pages loose. The stitched pages of the Moleskine are a bit more durable, if you’re looking for longevity.
