Another quality product under the Staples brand. The cover is very durable and haven't experienced any issues thus far. I'm really not sure what else to say as it is a notebook. I highly recommend this product if you are looking at similar brand name products.

This is a quality notebook. The size is appropriate and I like the holder for a pen although I have not used that. While I'm not a big note-taker this notebook is handy in our main living quarters for jotting down appointments items for shopping reminders to call someone capturing a URL or recipe I see on TV.

Great Journal for on the go note taking for the most part. Most spiral notebooks are just your normal lined sheets of paper but this one takes it up a notch. My favorite feature is the pocket on the inside. This way I can stash extra notes post-its that I can transcribe later into the notebook. Overall - it is decent but some of the things I will never use which makes part of this notebook worthless for my purpose. Features: The tear off 9 - 5 tasks - I honestly don't schedule my day like that so not being able to use this shortens my note taking. Thinking about changing it to a To Do piece but then there is very little notes on the left. Card holder - Never used - honestly more of an aesthetic feature for me. If I want to share my contact information - it is digital or I stash business cards in the pocket for later. Pen holder - nice and sturdy. Though spiral notebooks with the metal coil can also hold pens well. Label on spine - very clever! Honestly I wish more notebooks had this feature! Paper - very nice quality I must say out of the many notebooks I have purchased over the years. Overall a great journal if you can utilize its many features and different note taking types. For me it just didn't quite fit the bill.

TRU Red Journal

from Poway
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this journal and all it`s cool features from the small pocket inside the front cover to the perforated pages I could use for check lists. The date section at the top for ease in finding notes later to the blank pages for small sketches. And the label for logging it after filling it up. I hope this comes in more colors. Absolutely love it. Great for personal and business meeting notes.

Review for TRU RED `Introductory Guidance` Journal
on September 27, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the pleasure of trying out the TRU RED `Introductory Guidance` Journal. I will start with saying that I love the pen holder on the outside of the journal!!! I always lose my pens so this is a great feature. I also love the quality of paper and folder inside. I prefer a spiral notebook I felt like the pages in this journal were hard to turn especially on the left side when it comes to writing because the journal doesn`t open up enough comfortably.

This is a very nice medium-sized notebook. It is very professional looking at meetings. I really like this notebook. The paper feels like it's very high quality. The paper does not bleed ink or highlighters. I am really enjoying using it for my work notes.

The TRU Red Notebook packs a lot of features as a medium starter journal. The thick cover and texture give it a luxurious feel along with the rounded top corner. I found the front cover pocket a little over the top and probably more useful to others than it was to me. What I did appreciate the most was the inside pocket and the perforated to-do list. I liked the handy place to keep a pen on the spine and the ability to place a label on the spine. The weight of the paper is positive which prevented the bleed-through of ink that could happen with thinner paper. I can see myself utilizing the TRU Red Notebook for different projects because of the ability to label the spine. This has helped me be more organized - no more looking for a pen or needing to grab another piece of paper to make a to-go-to-do list. I give the TRU RED Notebook 5-stars because it helped elevate my day and help me feel more professional in my endeavors.
