The durable Moleskine

Moleskine problems

Moleskine is quickly becoming a cult-brand like Apple and Subaru. I will admit to driving a Subaru and using an Apple. I've only recently taken up using a Moleskine. One week so far. I'm not too impressed so far. It's supposed to be well-made and durable. I've only written on a dozen pages and it's showing wear and tear. The pages are also supposed to be better quality. However, you can see the writing from the reverse side. I'm using Pilot G-2 fine point pens. It's too late since I've already placed a large order for classic Moleskines, Cahiers, and Volants. If they're not substantially better, off to eBay they go.
