This is my FAVORITE notebook of all time!!!!! I've ordered 4 of these within a year!  I have turned it into my planner/EVERYTHING notebook.  I throw it in my purse (a large one, of course) and it goes everywhere with me.  I use this everyday, multiple times a day and it takes a beating.  Mine is well worn but there is still an element of class when you pull out the black, leather-looking notebook.  It always looks professional even when some of the stuff inside isn't.  ;)
