Book Reviews of Anything Book, Classic Exec Series: BlackBook Review: Couldn't Put It Down!!!! Summary: 5 Stars
A brilliant read! A minimalist masterpiece! I must admit though, I was disapointed by the ending.
Book Review: Perfect for what I intended it for Summary: 4 Stars
Recently my 10 year old son was interested in trying to start a diary, however he was VERY concerned over it being considered a "Girly" thing to do. So I informed him that we would find him a "Manly" book to write about his day in and we would call it a "journal."
Being a practical Step-mom I knew that this would probably be used for all of a week before being lost so I didn't want to spend a fortune. When I found this empty notebook I showed it to him and we agreed that it would make a very manly journal, and I was thrilled at the price.
It is a very handsome book bound in black leatherette with some nice gold accenting. The pages are lined so I wouldn't purchase this for drawing. The book is a nice size and the paper is of good quality. Though it has a few pages less than your standard blank book, it's also several dollars cheaper. I highly recommend this to all but the most prolific of journal writers. It's classy enough to use at work but cheap enough to own several for different writings.
Book Review: Fine covers, but few pages Summary: 4 Stars
I've filled dozens and dozens of journals over the years. In fact, this will be my 77th. This Anything Book has a handsome, leatherette cover with a gilt border. It has a good feel about it and seems durable. The pages are lined- 24 lines per page with a 3/4" margin in top for titles and numbers. The end papers are heavy but plain.My only problem with it is that it is so thin. I know it says it has 160 pages, but even that isn't really adequate. For the serious journal keeper, you no more than get started and you are ready for another. For years the standard was around 190 pages- and I can remember when the average journal was well over 200 pages. Is this being done simply to sell more journals? Or is it possible that most people find it difficult to fill even a thin journal with original ideas and notable occurances and observations these days? In any case, it seems a waste to put so few pages between so fine of covers.
Book Review: Good buy... Summary: 4 Stars
It was just what I was looking for. I wanted a small journal not much better than a paper back, with quality pages and very lightly shown lines. It's not the best for staying open. When I started it, it was more comfortable to clip the pages to the front cover. Now that I've used it a bit it doesn't bother me. Though it got a great price and the nicest one I could find that wasn't leather.
Book Review: Good but picture a bit misleading... Summary: 4 Stars
Very sturdy and well made book. My only concern is that the picture is a bit misleading. The golden border is much brigther in person then the picture. Not to much of a problem but I simply wanted a plain black lined book and though this is close (I knew there was a golden border) it turned out being much more 'flashy' then I needed.
