Felt lucky to have found one in stock. From my view many filofax are too feminine - but this is just right. In terms of note taking I use a Midori which I prefer as A5 filofaxes are heavy and bulky and binder rings limit extensive note taking. However the personal Malden is just right alternative for quick notes. I dislike the filofax diary insert and just replace with plain/cream note paper. The ochre looks ideal for filofax to bump around in bottom of my rucksack. I wonder if it will last though when compared to mu faithful Midori?....time will tell....Mr Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13154989269029420600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2652601558452051227.post-63939139366874067852013-08-04T21:01:44.085+01:002013-08-04T21:01:44.085+01:00Yes, I agree with your observation of the newer Ma...Yes, I agree with your observation of the newer Maldens! I was using my A5 Ochre Malden the other day, which I bought about 18 months ago, and the quality is much better!<br />Re: the leather quality- all Maldens vary, which seems to be standard nowadays! Filofax include a card which says that variations in leather are normal, and just because it's a natural product- I guess they think that covers themselves from getting complaints about the leather!KateB TPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939014609241304340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2652601558452051227.post-17309018018083187062013-08-04T20:02:58.139+01:002013-08-04T20:02:58.139+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Josh LaPortehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772883862662679235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2652601558452051227.post-29182366705358469332013-08-04T20:02:05.099+01:002013-08-04T20:02:05.099+01:00Hmm.

Very odd that new Maldens seem to lack the suppleness of the older ones: the new ones appear to not open fully flat, as if the cardboard sandwiched in the spine is too rigid.

It's why I don't mind their prices sometimes.
