Thanks, Wolf.
And thanks for clearing that up, Kabuto. Always a suspicion of mine.
Here is an idea.
Get one of those art paper notebooks I mentioned in my most recent post. Then get a piece of scrap leather. Have a shoe repair guy or luggage repair guy sew it a little and now you have a cool leather cover for one of said art paper notebooks, and because of the leather cover it now has a pocket into which you may stuff your LaVey Smith And The Red Hot Skillet Lickers tickets or whatnot. So you'll have all the advantages of the Moleskine minus the hi price, and you will be able to reuse the leather cover ad infinitum since it is leather.
There is an inexpensive Chinese luggage repair guy in Berkeley who will do that for next to nothing, and he probably has leather scraps lying around in his shop. If you cannot find the leather, try buying an old purse etc. at Goodwill for $3 and harvest the leather from that.
Or you can use bookbinding tape or glue to stick the leather onto the book in a more permanent fashion.
Then what you will have will be completely unique and thereby more interesting and stylish than a Moleskine.
