I so want one but…
…HK$198.00 is about US$29.00 and the shipping will probably approach US$50.00.

ooooohhhhhh…..I want one! (When will the Century Gothic edition be out?)
This is so sexy.
If it were a large moleskine I would own one right now.
But $40 for a pocket ‘skine I’ll never use is a bit much for a poor college student to spend!!
These are gorgeous! Wish I could get one.
Held one in my hands in Kyoto, damn I wish I had bought it!
