I bought this as a gift for my mother, who is a singer/songwriter. It's a beautiful book. It's the perfect size to put in a purse or bag and carry with you. I love that there are staffs on one side and a blank page on the other. I think she will get a lot of use out of this. I love Moleskin products. The paper is a high quality, and I love that it has an elastic band to keep the book shut.
