In addition to your comments above, I think a big pro is the distance the covers jut out over the edges of the lined pages, protecting the pages from being bent or scuffed up. One con (to me) is the ease with which the page-marking ribbon gets frayed. I've trimmed it down to about 2 inches in length, losing its original purpose. Great site.

I've just started using the larger one (Sketchbook) and love it! No bleed thru, sturdy built, feels great in the hand and under the pen. Actually the binding is strong enough that you can bend it cover to cover, especially if you take a few moments and press a few pages open throughout. Yes, Cynthia, I found mine at http://www.journalingarts.com They treated my wonderfully. My notebook is bright turquoise. Love it. Glad to see you found the Ciak notebook.

Durable cover, excellent quality paper, (doesn't show through like the mole) and has the perfect texture. Hey, and it's REAL leather man. What more could you want with a price like that?

I just watched V again last night: the red medium Ciak made an appearance as Delia Surridge, not V's journal, an inflammatory document Inspector Finch was duly instructed to disregard as either an elaborate forgery or psychotic ramblings at risk of being persecuted for treason and other terrible, no good things. /nitpicking.
