Why didn't I get one of these earlier?
I love this composition book cover. It is well made and has a nice sturdy feel to the leather. It includes a pocket and a place for your pen. The elastic sleeve of the pen is on the outside of the cover, which makes it a little cumbersome when I place it in my briefcase. But I can see why it was designed this way so you can use both sides of the paper to write upon. Key to the design is it lays flat! This allows for smooth writing and keeps the left side down so you don't have to place weight upon it. I journal a lot. And this is by far the best inexpensive alternative. Because of the quality craftsmanship, I don't see a need to replace it in the foreseeable future. The price is just right on this one as well- it is about half of what I have seen others sell for.
