Nice & Sturdy which is what I needed…So I put off not buying this. I thought I’d be cheap about it and go to OfficeMax. I ended up spending more than it would’ve been if I would’ve just bought this one. Long story short the one from OfficeMax last about a month and these last year round.It’s mind boggling how difficult it is to find a single book that has dated pages that doesn’t decide for you to break it up into columns and hours and all this other stuff — BUT this is as close as it gets, has the most actual space for writing and is the least cluttered with unnecessary nonsensealso is very sturdily constructed, attractivebut it still shouldn’t cost nearly this much moneyAs describedThis is the first time I've ordered this larger version. We've used the regular size for several years All employees make notes on animal health issues in these. no more searching for what date someone did something in a run-on notebook. This one is for our calf barn-- she usually has 130-160 animals to care for. The other is for my cow herd work. Anyone who sees and issue records it on the appropriate date and it is a heaven sent help for giving the best care possible to our 900 cows.I thought I was ordering the hard cover calendar. This one starts ripping when you get into the year.I have years of this product. I use it for work to note take and jot daily lists. Perfect for me the OCDerLove this book !!! We used it for official work
