It was just right for a notebook that can be used and rcycled when finished so there is not a lot of waste. It was to give as a gift for a "Gratitude Journal" that is written in each day. When notebook is filled it is thrown away as part of the process I teach. I buy other notebooks that are hardback when saved for the future.
This is a very sturdy notebook with a plastic cover (good for drink spills) !! The blue is a very pretty color and I like the wide ruled paper-Avery good price too!
I returned these to the store. It is a frustrating battle with the binding and plastic cover to keep the book open to write in it or to read what you’ve written. I used a weight to hold the book open — but that caused the cover to curl out of whack and now the book won’t close. Do not buy this style. I Hated it. If it were possible I’d give it a negative star rating.
