I'm a medical student, so I buy these to take notes at noon conferences, morning report and on rounds. They fit perfectly in my white coat pocket, even with an iPad mini in there too. I like that the pages are completely blank so I can draw diagrams without the lines getting in the way and the color is unobtrusive and always professional. the last 10 or so pages can be ripped out, but I never really take out pages. And in the back of each book there is a glued pocket to put papers, but I've found that it falls apart with all the abuse I put the book through. Overall I think its a good value.
