Leather A5 Notebook Cover

February 3, 2015

I really like the Apica CD-11 (A5) notebooks - great paper, thin, lays flat, etc. But, the paper covers, while relatively rugged, are not nearly rugged enough for throwing in the bag on a daily basis. I searched for a simple notebook cover and found Zenokleather on Etsy. It seemed exactly what I was looking for, so I ordered one and in only a few days, it arrived. These are the photos of the notebook from Zeno's Etsy store. You can get a variety of sizes and styles.

I have four of the CD-11 notebooks in mine and so far, I have no complaints. The quality is good, the leather is supple, and the price was quite reasonable. I look forward to seeing how the cover works out in the longer term, but I see no reason for concern.

I have a Zenokleather faux-dori (which is basically what you got) and have had it for a little over a year. I have tossed it in my large Timbuk2 bag where it has jumbled around with lots of other stuff and it still looks great. I'm exceedingly impressed how it has held up and the design is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

I have, besides an leather notebook addiction, ordered about 12 items from Zeno in British Columbia. All of his work is highly functional, the perfect design to meet my needs. The artisanship is heirloom, or museum , quality. The materials are of the highest quality. Shipping time is , usually within 2 days of ordering and 7 days to NM. I can't say enough great things about Zeno's work. Usual disclaimers apply, an extremely satisfied and addicted to his work consumer. Jim
