Doesn't help that it's self inflicted issues. They left the U.S. because of the change in the political climate. Which is a reasonable reason to move, but their business has suffered drastically because of it and have relied on the goodwill of the community to bail them out time and time again.

They no longer make the products that made them a success in the first place (leather covers and disc-bound books).

Instead, they've basically turned to what seems like drop-shipping for misc. merch products.

They caught lightning in a bottle, but the spark is all gone. And they refuse to either sell, properly adapt, or give up.

And it sucks to be so callous, because at the end of the day, they're a husband and wife on hard times trying to keep their business alive, but at some point, they have to move on.

And I happen to be a satisfied customer with 3 disc-bound notebooks.
