Fully Booked has been on my mind ever since I picked it up and I agree for the most part with this review. That being said, I have to take issue with any book that can be broken easily if dropped or improperly stored. It's just a personal thing for sure. I went through the same thing with vinyl -buying special limited edition pressings or bling bling packaging only to have the darn things fall apart from actual use. Meanwhile my 50 year old Miles Davis records are still in fine shape. I know it's a strange complaint, but Fully Booked seems to prefer art above usability(at least in it's pages as it's cloth binding is solid). A small gripe for sure.
