The Demise of a Moleskine (Binding)

The Demise of a MoleskineBehold, The MoleskineOh No’s! My beloved Moleskine has torn itself asunder! Behold, the ripped binding.

For $15, you’d think they’d be a little more resilient than this!

And no, my deluxe custom black duct tape pen holder is not to blame (I don’t think?).

Oh, intrepid fellow Moleskine users: is this kind of senseless violence unprecedented?

[ Update (2008-03-19: ] Moleskine has come through for me and send me a replacement!!
