the paper wrap

[dsl]

the moleskines come with that brightly colored strip of paper wrapped
around the cover. i love the "graphic" look it gives the books. i can
also see the benefits of color coding [i use multiple moleskines in
multiple formats]. but, they never last. once or twice out of my bad
and the things are in tatters.

has anybody been able to keep their's intact?

oh, and hi. i'm relatively new to the group, though i've been using
moleskines [mostly the sketchbooks] in both sizes for about 4 years.
