Well compared to the notebooks that I bought several years ago when I was in school this of course is one of the best. I use it to put my music in when I say with the North Carolina Baptist Singers and orchestra
I liked the 1 inch binder. I put together a bunch of materials in it and used the side pocket. It was the only teal-colored one left so I am glad I got it. I used the front plastic to put a cover as well
