What's a Poor Bookbinder To Do?

Yesterday I was rummaging through the jumble sale section of my local branch of Lidl and came across some Moleskine type notebooks. They're A5, so an half an inch or so wider than a Moleskine, they have an elastic pencil loop that the Moleskines don't. The quality of the 80 gsm paper is superior to the Moleskine and the quality of the construction is as good if not better, they've even got headbands - which none of the others have (gasp).

On the bottom row, 2 Moleskines and a Leuchtturm £12 to £15 depending on where you buy them.
On the top row Lidl notebooks (grits teeth) £2.49!

OK, the stuff in Lidl's jumble sale is changed twice a week and you may have to wait 6 months for the same thing to come around again.

I feel a bit mean putting the Leuchtturm in with that lot as it's definitely the leader of the pack. Made in Hamburg with German quality throughout. They're the same price as a Moleskine but far better.
