Leuchtturm1917 Hardcover Notebook vs Maruman Mnemosyne N194A Special Memo Notebook

•Price - It's a no-brainer, but I have to include this one. At a marginal price increase from the ubiquitous, evil Moleskine (a forty-cent difference at my time of purchase), you get a tremendous leap in performance and usability. You simply cannot beat an amazing little book like this for under twenty dollars. CONS •Flimsy strap - This isn't a big one, because let's be honest, your clasp does not to have a vice-like grip on your journal (unless it's pure vellum, but if you can afford that then a Leuchtturm is far too Plebeian for you, eh?)

I'd say kokuyo comes second for me at least when it comes to price and quality. But the format in these are just not as nice vs kokuyo campus.
